  • I’ve been on a kick about early christianity (atheist).

    Just finished Bart Ehrman’s Forged: Writing in the Name of God–Why the Bible’s Authors Are Not Who We Think They Are.

    Just started Robert Price’s The Amazing Colossal Apostle: The Search for the Historical Paul.

    Price is a mythicist, a school of thought that I only first found last year. This is the third book I’m reading from an author who doesn’t believe their was a historical Jesus. Very interesting stuff. I read because I want to learn new things and to better understand topics. I especially love history.






  • My tip for anyone struggling with getting started with linux, set up a log function so you can easily log any relevant changes you make, and have it accessible from somewhere else (like a shared partition or external drive for example). This way you know what you have done and can use that to fix whatever you fuck up. Also, make a knowledge base with the sources you find useful. I have a small kb in UpNote now so I can look up how some things were done instead of having to search and find the right guides over and over.

    This is the best advice for anyone who wants to learn how to utilize the command line. I used to write tremendous documentation for myself, as though I was writing a blog post. Now, I just throw a one line description of the change and hope I remember enough about it for it to make sense. But writing the longer info was really important for me internalizing things in the very beginning.

    Glad you’re having fun!

    Edit: Oh, and I suggest you look for guides on setting up rsync to work like Time Machine.
