To all a Merry Christmas, and to all a good night :)

@DMakarios rooibos with raspberry and coconut sounds amazing <3

(sorry about tragic circumstances)

Here's some of mine:
Hot water and rooibos and chooks and sunshine
waterfights and pushbikes and paper and pencils
bush beans and string beans and warm cherry tomatoes off the vine and lemons off the lemon tree
a vacuum cleaner that works and clean tap water
home made cottage cheese and spinach out of the veggie patch

What's your best thing today?

Listening to Paul [link below] is like listening to your Aussie Grandfather calmly reading out some bible and talking about it a bit. (Both my grandfathers are gone, and I miss them, and this reminds me heaps of one of them.)

@DMakarios oooh I love that one

You might have already seen it, but if you haven't: Praxis labs said helpful things about AI from a christian perspective:

@underlap I might try Hugo next time - thankyou for sharing!

@underlap Wow, i'd never heard of any of those!! And i haven't gotten around to learning Rust yet

I used Jekyll when I needed to create a static site.

I asked bing/copilot for the steps to
a) install it (it's based on ruby gems and i'm partial to ruby),
b) install a template so formatting is Not My Problem, and
c) build it and deploy it to a VPS

...because i do NOT have spare brainspace for things like this

book mail!! I can't tell you how much I am looking forward to reading these today :D

ping @DMakarios

@DMakarios those socks are truly beautiful, well done

@jonyoder aw no, sadface! that's annoying, esp because i had a couple of nonlinux friends i was about to try and switch... maybe i give it a few months

@DMakarios Yeah i'm with you I think - I don't mind half a cauliflower spiced up to taste like a roast, but not a fan of meatless sausages and steaks. I've tried them, they're edible, but i'd rather eat real food not ersatz.

Although as an Aussie, in a country where (edible!) roos hit plague proportions every so often - and cows are normally free range because half the country is grazing land with or without cows - I don't even really understand why they're so desperate to turn everyone vegan...

Ooooh yum - my hubby brought home anzac bickies!

Apparently some kid set up a lemonade stand type stall and was selling them a few blocks away.

The kids are alright :D

@dan

since you asked... I'm currently wrestling with the meaning and value of traditional jewish calendars (passover, feast of booths, yom kippur) and christian calendars (pentecost, lent, advent) over the modern consumer ones (pi day? talk like a pirate day?) ... but the 'wrestle' bit comes from how to do this well, and how much is law over grace, and how to be faithful to the bible year and seasons without getting all legalistic about it

I hope you get lots of answers and lots of inspiration for longer posts. Hats off to you for persisting!

@jforseth210 We're a dell shop at work too, but we've had a few ... glitches... lately. I hope it's just glitches and not a serious trend :(

Today's joy: Christ is still on the throne, and we're seated with him in heavenly places

Also: it's the start of feijoa season here, yummmmmmmmm

@mhamzahkhan Oh, no - I hope it is short and doesn't stick around!

@multilingualchurch That's very relatable, it really is.
