I consider myself a Evangelist.

After discovering Free Software I took my political scientist butt and found a call center job that paid for me to go to Community College to study Software Engineering, where I learned that I liked the idea of coding a lot more than I liked coding. The blessings of God put some great opportunities in my lap at just the right time.

Two factor authentication is the bane of my existence. It is ! I misplace all the time. This may be related to my but maybe not since that hasn’t improved since my doctor put me on Vyvanse while everything else in my life more-or-less has. From a security standpoint I get it, but I do get so concerned about how much of one’s identity is tied to your phone these days. Not only does that hurt people who chose not to have a cell phone, but how easy is it for me to lose everything if someone else steals my cell phone.

In fact Facebook requiring me to activate to continue to utilize my account was the primary driving factor between me using Friendica as my primary social media now rather than Facebook, even though I first joined the ‘verse back in 2011, when it was called simply open source microblogging and was pretty much just identi.ca/feeds/7gqal0c2pesei9… (if you had an account there, it still works BTW and @evan has indicated he plans to integrate ActivityPub by this summer, after its previous protocols, StatusNet and Pump.io, have fell out of favor). @passwords @neurodiverse @netsec @ADHD

“Al Jazeera harmed Israel’s security, actively participated in the Oct. 7 massacre,"

That's a pretty big claim with nothing backing it up.

...Moscow, handed a 1,500-ruble (roughly US$16) fine to artist and photographer Inna Mosina over several Instagram posts depicting rainbow flags...the posts were published before the ruling, at a time when rainbow flags were not regarded by authorities as extremist, and her lawyer argued that a police report about her alleged wrongdoing was filed before the ruling took force. The court ordered her to pay the fine nonetheless..., a court fined a man 1,000 rubles (about US$11) for allegedly posting a rainbow flag on social media.

did we recently have a software update to Nextcloud? Last week or so for some reason the Passwords app on my account is only showing 1 password saved (a website I visit very rarely) rather than the hundreds I expect. This happened once before and after a few days it magically fixed itself, but that hasn't happened this time.

The most recent backup I have is from November, so it has most everything in it save a few I made more recently, so I can re-load that, but if there's something on the serve to get EVERYTHING back, that would be better.

misinformation is easier to obtain than true information,

This is certainly true. Do a Google search for just about anything you've heard about in the news lately. Reputable sources, like New York Times & Washington Post are behind a paywall, Fox News & Infowars, not so much.

The last several nights about this time I'm getting DNS errors when accessing libranet.de. It works fine during the day(USA) but in the evening it starts up again. I tried switching from Google DNS to OpenDNS with no change in performance, but I don't have errors when I use Tor browser. I suspect it's no problem with the libranet.de , but I have no idea what it could be. @support

fu, to Christianity

is an annual religious and cultural festival that is observed in almost all countries on 25 to commemorate the birth of , whose teachings are followed by 2.3 billion across the world.

There is no historical or Biblical record to show that Jesus the Messiah was born on 25th December. In early , Easter was the main holiday (to commemorate Christ’s Resurrection which is the foundation of Christianity). The birth of Jesus was not celebrated then. Around 350 AD, Pope Julius I (now St Julius I) declared: “December 25th, Christ (was) born in Bethlehem, Judea.” In 529 AD Emperor Justinian declared Christmas an official holiday.

Christmas festivity includes attending church (mainly 24 December at midnight Mass which many from other faiths also attend), carol singing, decorating homes with cribs and Christmas trees, exchanging gifts and meals with family and friends. It is a family-centered day of peace, bonhomie, relaxation, and gratitude. It is also a day when home-cooked food, packaged food items, warm clothes, blankets, , and sanitary kits are distributed among the poor and vulnerable including inmates of children’s and old age homes.

The central point of Christmas is simplicity of life (Christ was born in a manger) and peace because Christ is the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6). Therefore, On Christmas we recall Christ’s teachings (Love one another as I have loved you – John 12:34) and try to emulate him by burying our egos/differences.

Because Christmas heralds peace, we often hear of major peace agreements and `ceasefires’ taking place in conflict zones immediately preceding Christmas. One commonality in these peace processes is the collaboration of religious leaders of different faiths in brokering peace processes around Christmas. So, Christmas and peace are intertwined like Siamese twins.

However, this Christmas season finds us in a very uneasy state of mind due to: (1) The severe economic downslide due to Covid-19 pandemic. (2) After Covid onslaught, the world is now grappling with ’s reckless invasion of . (3) The eruption of versus -Hezbollah war that has been waging since October 2023, reportedly to derail -Saudi Arabia Agreement.

This war is also aimed to jeopardize Memorandum of Understanding signed at the September 2023 G20 New Delhi to launch the economic corridor on cooperation, connectivity and infrastructure development involving the European Union and seven countries, namely , the , Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates ()), , , and . This corridor is the first-of-its-kind complete with shipping and railway links. It will include a shipping route connecting Mumbai and Mundra (Gujarat) with the UAE, and a rail network connecting the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan with the Israeli port of Haifa to reach the shores of the Mediterranean Sea. Haifa will then be connected by sea to the port of Piraeus in Greece to eventually be connected to Europe. For details on this, readers may refer to a report “India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor: A passage of possibilities.”

Today no country can say with assurance that it is in total peace. Therefore, the Christmas message of peace and goodwill for universal brotherhood and bonhomie is more applicable today than it was ever before. Today we desperately need statesmen with foresight and benevolence who can make all world leaders realise that modern warfare of mass destruction is meaningless. This is where the Christmas message: “Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!” (Luke 2.14) is very relevant. Jesus said, “Blessed are the peacemakers, because they will be called sons of God” (Matt. 5:9).

Christmas message of peace and goodwill is beautifully expressed in the Preamble to the UNESCO Constitution: “Since wars begin in the minds of men, it is in the minds of men that the defences of peace must be constructed.” Former President Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam linked a nation’s prosperity with peace.

We often hear of `Education for Peace.’ The aim of this education is to ingrain into individuals the values, skills and attitudes required to live as responsible citizens, in harmony with others. for can be incorporated in the curriculum of educational institutions across the world. This can be both formal and informal curriculums that aim to teach students Life Skills to resolve conflicts in a non-violent manner. Skills taught in these programs range from communication tools to social and emotional self-awareness techniques. These tools will help in increased appreciation of diversity among people and to dowse Hyper-ethnic Sensitivity which is an emerging global trend that prioritises preservation of one’s community at the expense of others (Manipur ethnic violence).

On Christmas as we commemorate the birth of Christ - the Prince of Peace - the question our leaders need to introspect on is: “What investment have we made towards peaceful living and peaceful coexistence?”
Christmas & Peace are like conjoined twins
