@zoeschimke I find it interesting that, in a denomination where we follow a Standard that clearly points out the positive and negative implications of each commandment, some seem to have a hard time recognizing BCO prohibitions unless they're explicitly forbidden. https://t.co/1GUXPEoeZH

@jandrusk I can't believe that Privacy Guides site just nonchalantly suggests hosting your own mail server, especially with a guide from 2019. I'm an SMTP engineer for a SaaS company, and I would never trust my own email to self-hosting.

[Brad Beyenhof @augmentedfourth]

@jandrusk I have exactly this, but in black. And I bought the longer shelf for the piece on the right side of the corner.

[Brad Beyenhof @augmentedfourth]

@sachz Yeah. The lack of dedicated config was just "use the service to set up the service."

[Brad Beyenhof @augmentedfourth]

@sachz So... I was connecting to NPMplus over HTTPS on port 81 still, and I was confused that there was no setting to enable a more legit connection. Finally realized... I just needed to set up a "proxy host" for NPMplus to route to itself and serve the necessary certificate. 🤦‍♂️

@jandrusk You've triggered a Presbyterian by not using the word "fewer."

@_BenRatliff I use ReformedApp for this already, but it's really bare-bones. How will your app be different? And can I help?

[Brad Beyenhof @augmentedfourth]

@cmcwain Also has features locked behind a subscription Pro version. I'll play around with FOSS RetroArch (which does apparently have a way to hook up to RetroAchievements). Honestly, there are half a dozen SNES games and half a dozen Lynx games I'd just replay over and over.

[Brad Beyenhof @augmentedfourth]

@cmcwain I don't usually watch TV shows on my phone. If I had a dedicated media device (where battery capacity wasn't tied to reachability/communication), I might. But I didn't realize RetroArch was on iOS these days... that's an interesting idea.

[Brad Beyenhof @augmentedfourth]

@cmcwain Yeah, I'm going for the big screen (as well as the familiar horizontal form factor from my youth). Have you tried GammaOS Full vs Lite? I like the idea of the stripped-down Lite, but I also think it would be cool to be able to use it as a media streamer (Hulu, Prime, Plex).

@brohsnbluffs @cmcwain @RetroHandhelds I'm using desktop Safari & Chrome. There doesn't seem to be a way to get back to the list of devices I've filtered out and add another to the comparison. I can click "Search devices to add to comparison" and search, but I can't see the filtered list to add one.

[Brad Beyenhof @augmentedfourth]

@brohsnbluffs @cmcwain @RetroHandhelds On the comparison site, I can't figure out how to actually compare multiple items. When I click a device's "+ Add" button, I immediately see a one-item-only comparison table and don't see the list anymore, so I don't know how to add another.

[Brad Beyenhof @augmentedfourth]

@cmcwain So... "custom firmware" is something you load on the Android side, though? Retro handhelds is a rabbit hole category full of hardware and software options, I'm seeing. But the RG Vita Pro looks really cool (and the form factor reminds me of my childhood Atari Lynx).

[Brad Beyenhof @augmentedfourth]

@cmcwain Is the Android partition helpful? Or is the Linux side really all you need?

[Brad Beyenhof @augmentedfourth]

@jandrusk Because only elders are officers in the courts of the church (session, presbytery, GA). Deacons do have authority, but it's administrative authority within the local congregation, and I believe the overhead for recording diaconal exceptions would be difficult to require.
