Tuesday of the Fourteenth Week in Ordinary Time Reading 1 Hosea 8:4-7, 11-13 Thus says the LORD: They made kings in Israel, but not by my authority; they established princes, but without my approval. With their silver and gold they made idols for themselves, to their own destruction. Cast away your calf, O Samaria! my wrath is kindled against them; How long will they be unable to attain innocence in Israel? The work of an artisan, no god at all, Destined for the flames— such is the calf of Samaria! When they sow the wind, they shall reap the whirlwind; The stalk of grain that forms no ear can yield no flour; Even if it could, strangers would swallow it. When Ephraim made many altars to expiate sin, his altars became occasions of sin. Though I write for him my many ordinances, they are considered as a stranger’s. Though they offer sacrifice, immolate flesh and eat it, the LORD is not pleased with them. He shall still remember their guilt and punish their sins; they shall return to Egypt. Responsorial Psalm Psalm 115:3-4, 5-6, 7ab-8, 9-10 R. (9a) The house of Israel trusts in the Lord. or: R. Alleluia. Our God is in heaven; whatever he wills, he does. Their idols are silver and gold, the handiwork of men. R. The house of Israel trusts in the Lord. or: R. Alleluia. They have mouths but speak not; they have eyes but see not; They have ears but hear not; they have noses but smell not. R. The house of Israel trusts in the Lord. or: R. Alleluia. They have hands but feel not; they have feet but walk not. Their makers shall be like them, everyone that trusts in them. R. The house of Israel trusts in the Lord. or: R. Alleluia. Alleluia John 10:14 R. Alleluia, alleluia. I am the good shepherd, says the Lord; I know my sheep, and mine know me. R. Alleluia, alleluia. Gospel Matthew 9:32-38 A demoniac who could not speak was brought to Jesus, and when the demon was driven out the mute man spoke. The crowds were amazed and said, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel.” But the Pharisees said, “He drives out demons by the prince of demons.” Jesus went around to all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the Gospel of the Kingdom, and curing every disease and illness. At the sight of the crowds, his heart was moved with pity for them because they were troubled and abandoned, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest.”

One Year With Void Linux Week One Post: So I have found myself at a cross road while doing a year long challenge on Linux. I started with NixOS as my daily driver and all was going well until it didn’t, I was loving it so much until I tried to update something and it all went out the window. Don’t get me wrong NixOS is a absolutely fantastic distro but I think its a little out of my league Linux wise. My head is full of other crap and learning a new way to use Linux was so fun to start with but after years of mainly Debian as my daily driver it felt as if my head was gonna explode. So I went with Void Linux and honestly I could not be happier at all, its so fast and runs perfectly on my Lenovo laptop, have no systemd is no big deal for me and plus with everything going on with that I would rather stay away. I love how I feel more in control over everything I do and use is the best feeling ever. Things I love about Void Linux The performance is brilliant Battery life is better then what I was getting on Debian Getting to know Xfce has been awesome Gaming has been great on my games Things I don’t like xbps is lacking some software I will update this as I go along. So far within the first week I have managed to break it by trying to move over to xlibre but after a bit of trouble shooting I managed to roll back to xorg. I have spent a lot of time learning as much as i can about the rest I just used ch as I can about this great distro and to be honest its lacking in the handbook but you can still get things done or fix with a little know-how. There are so useful tips out there on the web but I found AI to be useless when searching things up. AI can go in the bin as far as I’m concerned, they are spending billions on this tech and its pure rubbish, but lets move on. One thing I have noticed and this is a very small thing and that is my file transfer is slow compared to other distros I have tried, I’m not sure if this is me not done something right or if its void Linux, I would hazard a guess its me not doing something right so I will look into it this coming week. I find that installing software using xbps is incredible, they maybe lacking software, well compared to NixOS or Debian but they have mostly everything I needed and I just use AppImage for the rest of my software as I hate Flatpak with a passion, I find Flatpak clog up my laptop and overtime just make it unusable, might be lack of ram who knows so I just stay well clear unless I really and I mean really have to. I have to say I love how bare bones this distro is compared to the likes of Ubuntu and fedora, I honestly wished I had tried this earlier rather then jumping form one distro to the next. Gaming so far I have testing it with dark souls 2 which I know is a old game but dam it played really well even on high settings, I have also been able to go to the full 2GB VRAM on the internal graphics card which is amazing as Debian was the only other distro I could do that on, I will retest a few more games with the GPU getting that full 2GB So as I look into the future I can see me storming past a year, I hate to say it but I think I have found a forever home on Linux even after only one week. I have waited for this day for so long and I have been looking into free BSD a lot lately but I found myself saying why on earth would you leave something that's so stable and works with my hardware as well as it does, I would be crazy so here I am finally using my laptop as I want with everything running as I want it, only time will tell now if I manage not to distro hop again but as of now it ain’t gonna happen at all.
