    My passion was Chinese, now it is Buddhism. With work and baby it is difficult to make time to practice outside of academically though... Over the past five years or so I would say I am particularly interested in the lives and practices of the great people of my specific period focus.

    I encountered Chinese through a friend and the Asian club in high school, very random. A studying abroad trip to Japan is what led me to encounter Buddhism. I took a class on philosophical approaches to Buddhism (this does not mean Buddhism is a philosophy) and it answered a lot of questions for me that Christianity was not. I then sought out a local Zen meditation temple. Also, I realized it was academically sensical to mix the two interests since the canon of East Asian Buddhism is written in Chinese.

    Been my passion for around ten years. I currently mostly express it through my academic work, trying to be a better person, and teaching my child meditation.

    Buddhism is both academically and personally important because it has over 2500 years of well-developed and interesting philosophical thought, thousands of records of important humans making history that has not been recorded or studied yet, and all of that can help you in your current station in life. Though Buddhism contains what some may label as supernatural, I would argue that most of its systems are logically sound and can help anyone now.

    Some random bits I find interesting.

    • I like that all beings are important in Buddhism, not just humans.
    • Japanese Buddhism is really shocking if you approach Buddhism from the texts then go to Japan, ie since the Meiji period they can drink, marry, and eat meat, and they very much do this.
    • Hell in Buddhism is a temporary place, as is heaven.
    • Much of the good and bad you encounter and receive is of your own making, within reason.
    • Different traditions tell the story of the historical Buddha different, he was a prince who became a buddha or he was a bodhisattva who used his final life to show buddhahood was possible for all, but at the end of the day the tradition teaches that enlightenment and freedom is available to all.
    • Buddhism is not one with everything in the way that wrong beliefs are somehow right, but having a belief Buddhist cosmology and philosophy would label as incorrect would not somehow condemn that person. For instance there is a god in Buddhism who thinks they are a creator god, when they are in-fact deluded as well.

    I am especially asking for English thesauri suggestions. But curious for any resource in general.

    The reason I use Goldendict is that I can host a lot of local dictionaries that I do not physically own without relying on the internet.

    Nginx and NPM do this automatically. What goofy method is setup..? I am thankful for this post as I thought it was randomly an issue on my end after playing around with my servers.

    Your comment is full of a lot of cope and unnecessary sass. Both games have been promised for over a decade with nothing to show for it. What a waste of time and money.

    I enjoy Mailbox.org. I think they allow something insane like 25-50 custom email addresses. I use it for all of my websites. Being hosted in Germany the website is sometimes slow from the US and Japan, in my experience. That said, once I set everything up I never visit the website.

    There was an introductory offer for those moving their services from the US to Europe. You might email them about this. They gave me six months free. I think after that it is 5$ or so a month, maybe less. Highly recommend.

    I used Proton mail before this, but it is a walled garden, expensive, and slightly pro-Trump. I then moved to Tuta which is also a walled garden. Neither of these options allow me to use my own email apps.

    I have fully embraced Linux over the past couple years and really do not like Linus’ recent stance, right wing dog whistles, and sucking up to corporate. What can one do?
