I run a webserver on Virtualmin, and it also handles incoming email. Sometimes some more details help people apply what I'm about to write to their server, adjusting for any differences they may have. So I'm using AlmaLinux 9.5, Postfix 3.5.25, Procmail 3.22, and SpamAssassin 3.4.6. The system has Perl 5.32.1.
I got errors (Subroutine File::Spec::Unix::canonpath redefined at /usr/share/perl5/XSLoader.pm line 111) after adding the razor crowd-hashing spam detection tool into my SpamAssassin system. Nobody else online seemed to have the same problem. Here's how I solved it, in case it helps anybody else.
This morning, at Trinity Church Scarborough, we continued our preaching series in the book of Proverbs, looking at Proverbs 25-29.
As a bill comes before parliament to legalise assisted dying, James argues that the real issues going on here are to do with mortality and the desire to be in control. To think clearly, we need to recover confidence in the sovereignty of God, our own mortality, and God's judgement and grace.
Is the idea of an afterlife new to the New Testament? In fact, there is hope of life after death even as far back as the Joseph narratives in the book of Genesis.
This is a note to self, where I'll find it, to switch from using 7-Zip to using NanaZip for Windows. WinZip became redundant when Windows integrated archive files into Explorer, but 7-Zip has good right click integration. For Windows 11, that doesn't work as well, so use a fork called NanaZip.
This is not a long post, but I've just seen something I've never seen before.
Matthew 12:1-14 illustrates and adds colour to Matthew 11:28-30.
Matthew 11:28-30 are some of the most beautiful words in the New Testament:
At Trinity Church Scarborough, we're preaching through Proverbs throughout the autumn.It's not a book I've ever studied in any detail, so I've taken a step back, read a few things others have written, and collected thoughts I've had over the years as I've read through Proverbs as part of my own personal Bible reading. I wanted somewhere to jot down the things I've learnt, so I can refer to it later, and thought this public space would be good as it may help others too.
Here's a detail I've just noticed, and rather love.
Psalm 95:7 in the NIV reads as follows:
"For he is our God
and we are the people of his pasture
and the flock under his care."
Take that phrase "flock under his care" and look more closely.
וְצֹ֣אן יָד֑וֹ
Literally "the flock of his hand".
Today, I had a very annoying problem that I managed to fix. It's a couple of hours of my life that I won't get back, and I found very little online to help me.
So, to help anyone else with the same problem, here's the problem and the solution.
For what it's worth, this is with Fedora 39, KDE Plasma spin. But I honestly suspect that makes little difference. Other distros (Debian, Ubuntu, etc.) are probably just the same.
