The Three Stooges of Abraham
  • did you read 1,2,3 ?

    Yes, I did, and they are the same stuff I already adressed, so there is no need to do it again.

    how is that not as good of a proof that he was a god-denying athiest as your claim that he was misguided christian?

    You clearly don't understand what proof is. All you do is point to something, then in a wordy way, say "a christian would not do that." That is not proof. That is pretending to know what approximately 2.38 billion people in the world would do - not to mention the dead ones. It's absolutely stunning that you are not capable of understanding that.

    but do you really believe David Miscavige believes there is an alien who visited earth 40k years ago and they’re waiting for him to save the world as the narrative of scientology says

    Once again: I can't read minds, and neither can you. And unless he says otherwise, we have to take his word for this. Is it a weird tale? Sure! Is it any more weird than christian tales? Absolutely not! So, by your logic, just because I cannot understand that a person actually believes all that god bogus, should I now consider each and every religious person to be lying? Every pope? Every priest? Every nun? Everyone of my neighbours? All liars and actually atheists? Tell me.

    WITHOUT PROOF

    I gave you the proof. Or you could get yourself a copy of "Mein Kampf" and find the proof I pointed to first hand.

    I don’t care for more of this bullshit scotsman.

    Not my fault that's the only tool in your box.

    and so is your bullshit stupid claim that hitler was not an athiest.

    Except, I have proof to point to. You only have denial and self delusion.

  • The Three Stooges of Abraham
  • let me explain more to you what his true belief was, which was there was no god aka an athiest

    Give me quotes. I don't accept you just making shit up. Without proof, I don't care for more of the same scotsman.

  • The Three Stooges of Abraham
  • but it’s still subjective because you may have proved what he showed, but not really what he stood for and believed inside

    A thing no one can do.

    He lied about talking to god

    Opinion with no base. One could say >subjective

    Every action there really concludes that he really believed that there is no god aka an atheist

    Thats both, opinion with no base and bullshit. Christians (or believers of any religion) do and have done horrible things. Being a christian / theist does not stop you from being a bad person. You want to tell me that Hitler was no true scotsman?

    Btw similarly I can prove to you that David Miscavige really believes in that Scientology spaceship coming at the end of times. I can quote him and show that all ot David Miscavige 100% belives in the narrative of scientoligy

    And thats all you can do, because you, just like me, can not tell what people think or believe.

    while both of us we know (...) that he actually inside does not belive in that scientology stuff

    I don't. And I think it's arrogant to pretend to know what someone believes when he states other.

    this criminal scum indocrinated his followers with evil ideas for his benefit

    Not a thing a believer couldn't do. Actually a thing believers quite often do.

    but thatwill remain subjective still

    Agree.

    That’s why I know and think Hitler was an Atheist

    You don't know, you just think. And for what we have left on the table to examine, you're wrong.

    it doesnt mean atheism is bad or that we should demonize atheists

    Yet, believers commonly use the lie of "Hitler beeing atheist" as an example for atheists beeing bad people.

    In conclusion, once again, a pretty wordy "no true scotsman"

  • The Three Stooges of Abraham
  • You say he was, and then post an article that concludes

    it seems evident his religion was closest to pantheism

    and then talks about how he constantly talked about god as this or god as that. Pantheism is not Atheism and the constant babbling of what god does or wants as if it was fact he exists certainly isn't either.

    Then there's "Mein Kampf" where Hitler himself talks about continuing "the work of the Lord".

    So glaube ich heute im Sinne des allmächtigen Schöpfers zu handeln: Indem ich mich des Juden erwehre, kämpfe ich für das Werk des Herren.

    So today I believe I am acting in the spirit of the almighty Creator: By resisting the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord.

    This senctence is in basically every german history schoolbook.

    A speech of him from 1927:

    Wir müssen Gott dan­ken für diese Gnade. (…) Gott hat Völker, aber keine Klassen geschaffen.

    We must thank God for this grace. (…) God created peoples, not classes.

    And a speech from 1939:

    Es sei „eine Anmaßung, anzunehmen, daß der liebe Gott die Welt nur für ein oder zwei Völker geschaffen habe.“

    It is “presumptuous to assume that the dear/good Lord created the world only for one or two peoples.”

    "Der liebe Gott" is a german christian notion I cannot find a good translation for.

    Spoken like a real Atheist, eh?

    Hitler constantly talks about God, what he thinks he wants him to do or what would serve his (Gods) purpose. Hitler. Was. Not. An. Atheist.

    Every attempt to make him a "not christian" comes down to "no true scotsman", as you skillfully demonstrate:

    he was preaching an extreme idology that did not belong to any religon

  • What do I actually need?
  • Yeah, I tend to do that and you're probably right.

    Was just talking with a coworker and maybe I'll just start with saving images and backing them up to AWS glacier or some other cheap cloud storage. That way my data is safe in case I fuck up my setup.

    After reading about proxmox, I decided to go with containers and smaller, specialized services first, as getting to know container stuff is one of my goals for a homelab.

  • What do I actually need?
  • When it's streaming ready probably a bit more. But I guess I'm gonna be tinkering for a bit as suggested in other replies and build stuff successively. So for document and image storage it'll be idling most of the time.

  • What do I actually need?
  • Well, thats a lot to concern, and some points, I can probably not check in the nearer future (like the router beeing my own and not my ISPs. I am bound to the Router by contract. But I will keep that in mind. This made my "look into" list a lot longer :D

  • What do I actually need?

    I'm in the means of buying a mini pc for selfhosting stuff. My main reasons are sailing the high seas for movies and series and hosting my families photos, videos to escape gdrive. I'm thinking about some kind of DMS / digitalizing paperwork and mail in the future.

    I casually look into all kinds of software that could do the task and now I'm a bit overwhelmed. Is owncloud or an alternative enough, or do I need something more elaborated like TrueNAS? But all the NAS Foss stuff seems to run on their own OS. Can my Pirate Ship run on that? I feel like the diversity of solutions is making this very opaque for me.

    E-Reader recommendations

    Hi,

    My Kindle won't boot anymore and keeps getting stuck in boot screen, so I thought this might be a good time to get away from Amazon, even though that device was great.

    So, what non-kindle readers would you recommend?

    It should have color and background light and it shouldn't be huge so I can keep it in the back pocket.

    And, since I don't have any experience outside the Amazon ecosystem: how is the experience of buying and transferring books to non Kindle readers?

    Update: I did research based on your recommendations. Thanks for all the input, that was way more than I expected! I settled for the Kobo Clara Color since it seemed to almost perfectly match my needs and Kobo and the model itself got heavily recommended here and on the web.

    Xbox Controller Connection Issues

    Hi folks,

    I got a new Xbox Series X Controller (Model 1914). I had Xbox One controller before.

    With xpadneo installed I had basically no problems running my xbox one controller. It connected via BT with no issues and workes in games really well wired and wireless.

    The new controller on the other hand, works really well via cable, but does not connect via BT. I can find it, I can pair it, but I cannot connect to it.

    xpadneo readme says Series X needs a BT stick with BLE so I bought one, but that did not solve the problem (I'm not sure if BLE needs to be activated or how to do it rn).

    Why is my tmux borked?

    I've been trying tmux and followed a video that showcases and offers a prebuilt config for styling and plugins. Something happended (guess I did something wrong?) the styling broke and I decided I'll go bare bones and customize to my needs when needed instead of using preconfigured stuff. I deleted all configs and caches I could find with fzf and even reinstalled tmux, but still some broken styling is present and makes it unpleasent to work with. Some of my configs seem to be present even after uninstall, as the prefix is still C-Space instead of the default. There are some oh-my-zsh subfolders that contain tmux. I don't know if those have been there before and I also don't know, if I can delete them without breaking the next thing.

    I'm on a MacBook and installed tmux via brew.

    Mouse "back" and "forward" buttons not working

    Hi, I just started using Logseq via the Mac desktop app. My Mouse is a Logi M720 Triathlon with thumb buttons set to default settings with Forward (Forward button) and Back (Back button). Those work just fine everywhere. IDEs, text editors, Obsidian, browsers etc. But in Logseq, the buttons do nothing and it kinda breaks my flow because I have to switch to keyboard for weird shortcuts or have to klick the back button manually. Is there a way ti fix this? I could not find a working fix yet.

    Uninstall iterm2 for good

    Hi,

    I'm trying to uninstall iterm2. I installed it via the installer from their webpage and tried to uninstall it by putting the application in the bin as usual. But it keeps reappearing. I also tried removing remaining files: "~/Library/Application Support/iTerm", "~/Library/Application Support/iTerm2", "~/Library/Application Support/com.apple.sharedfilelist/com.apple.LSSharedFileList.ApplicationRecentDocuments/com.googlecode.iterm2.sfl*", "~/Library/Caches/com.googlecode.iterm2", "~/Library/Cookies/com.googlecode.iterm2.binarycookies", "~/Library/Preferences/com.googlecode.iterm2.plist", "~/Library/Saved Application State/com.googlecode.iterm2.savedState",

    Still, iterm will pop up as soon as I start my mac. What is this shit? How can I get rid of it?

    Answer: "This shit" is my stupid brain. I forgot I reinstalled iterm after my employer introduced a managed software center. It was the only app I installed via msc myself and thus did not think of it at first.

    [OpenSUSE Tumbleweed] Updates and Dependency Hell

    Hi,

    I'm in the weird spot again, where I want to update my Tumbleweed system and am lost in a dependency hell. It more or less occurs once in a while when updates drop and the prompt asks if I want to install stuff from vendor "obs://build.opensuse.org/home:wolfi323" replacing the obsolete stuff from the official openSUSE vendor.

    As soon as I read wolfi323, I get fucking Vietnam flashbacks, because it means I will have to decide for ~100 services if I keep the current obsolote version or install the one from wolfi323. Either way, it's gonna fuck up a myriad of dependencies.

    All that hassle just to do the same shit all over again because at some point, the official opensuse repos catch up with newer versions.

    I could probably wait for the official updates, but it's uncertain, when they are going to drop and I'll just pile up thousands of updates in the meantime.

    How do the Tumbleweed Folks among us deal with this?

    [OpenSuSE Tumbleweed] Move installed packages with zypper

    I just noticed, that my SSD is almost full and I think it is because of all the zypper packages I got installed. I've got another ~100gb SSD thats just for stuff (mounted unter "Misc" says it all) and would like to move some (or all?) of the packages like vscode, podman or other stuff on that second SSD. Is there a way to do that with zypper without removing and installing them again under the new path?
