Agreed that Start9 docs are second to none. Also, their Telegram channel has excellent support from their team.

My suggestion is to start with a few core services and start to build your way up slowly.... Self hosting is a long transition and requires making a lot of changes and figuring out what your needs and capabilities are. Not everyone is the same. Give yourself the time to consolidate news habits and shift your expectations. It's a very enjoyable challenge.

This was our little hilltop church in the city this morning 44 first communions and an extravagant Eucharistic procession culminating with a street covered in elaborate carpets of colored sawdust. #catholic #dawn #corpuschristi

Pues hay mucho que me confunde de latinoamerica, pero no soy parte de eso y nada mas observo desde afuera... Me parece que Bukele se da el gusto de pompa, como muchos que he conocido. Soy catolico, no hay problema por disfrutar la pompa de vez en cuando. No opino si hay intenciones mas siniestras.

I enjoy him reading his poetry. He did a translation of Beowulf that is outstanding.

You can catch some samples herr:

De acuerdo, Milei es raro, pero desde mi sitio fuera de su pais, me gusta verlo...

Never used Osmand+ but I haven't had good luck with these open source maps. Magic earth isn't perfect but strikes a good balance. Offline maps, decent pedestrian nagivation, good battery life

I just need to get something off my chest.

My city built a new airport a year ago that demolished the 1960s "cutting edge" jet age shamrock-style terminals that allowed near instantaneous access to the gates from the drop off point. In its place is a big, boxy TSA theatre, and a parking garage attached. Despite the billions poured into it, they didn't think to put in a pedestrian bridge so that all vehicle traffic through the terminal didn't need to be stopped by a guy with a whistle and a reflective vest every single time someone wanted to cross to or from the parking garage.

Hideous.

Thank you for reading. I feel better.

Finding consistent, regular time to set aside for prayer is also really helpful. It is as much about quieting oneself to be able to listen as it is speaking about what's on the mind and heart, though it is that, too. I highly recommend a chapter of the Gospel of Mark per day with a simple expression of desire to get to know Jesus as he is, without substituting our own prejudices or letting our pain stoke our anxieties.

I'm praying for you now, brother! For whatever it is you need most.

Sharing a quote from one of the great mothers of literature:

β€œI am Beth Morgan,” my mother said, and her voice was as deep and strong as any man. β€œI have come up here to tell you what I do think of you all, because I have heard you are talking against my husband. Two things in this world do I hate. One is talking behind the back, and the other is lice. So you should know what I do think of you.”

The only sounds when my mother stopped were the crackling of wood and the hushing of snow.

β€œYou are a lot of cowards to talk against my husband,” my mother said with a full voice. β€œHe has done nothing against you and he never would and you know it well. He is Superintendent of the colliery now because every man will have his reward for working, and that is his. And for you to think he is with the owners because he has had his reward is not only nonsense but downright wickedness. How some of you can sit in the same Chapel with him I cannot tell. But there is one thing more I will say and that is this. If harm do come to my Gwilym, I will found out the men and I will kill them with my hands. And that I will swear by God Almighty. And there will be no Hell for me. Nobody will go to Hell for killing lice.”

β€œMama,” Davy called from the back of the rock.

My mother turned round to look for Davy, but she could not see him at first.

β€œI am not your mother,” she said, β€œwhen you are with these. You are lice with them. And if your father comes to harm, you shall be the first to go.”

Davy came out of the darkness to go to my mother but she turned away and started to stumble down the rock. I ran round to help her find her footway, and Davy stood at the top watching in quiet. There was low talking from the men and not a sound else, and indeed if ever I heard the voice of shame, then it was, while my mother was crying as she felt her way down.

Happy Mother’s Day to all. #quotestr #madres #happymothersday

Final day in Mexicoβ€”my first trip here. A whirlwind tour of the Nauha civilization that existed prior to the Spanish arrival, followed by a close reading of Guadalupe event that resulted in the baptism of millions of indigenous in the decades following.

It has been a challenging historical lesson provided by a great friend, Dr. Ezekiel Stear of Auburn University. His persistent line of investigation throughout his career has been in search of an answer to the question: β€œHow did Mexico become Mexico?”

His abundant knowledge has significantly altered my understanding of the β€œprimitive” civilization that the Spanish evangelized in the 16th century, as well as the real collaboration and mutual respect that existed between the Nauha and the Franciscans in certain parts of New Spainβ€”something approaching an ideal.

Of course, much of the story did involve mistreatment, deception, cruelty, and greed, on the part of both cultures. Human beings have not changed very much, ever.
