Hello World!
First post on Friendica! Let's see what it do!

A First Post
As I move into my 40s, and contend with the dynamic tension of both more time, money, and capability; against higher demands on those very resources. I've been looking for a new place to do my social networking. I don't need the massive social networks of the past, since most of my community is well established at this point. It's nice to have federation, so my more distant friends can still see my posts without having to maintain or check a specific network just on my behalf. It's a little disappointing to find the landscape of self-hosted or federated social networks so barren, but Friendica seems like a solid option. The federated landscape makes it easier to try a platform, knowing that my work will not be forever vendor-locked into that platform.

Les larmes qui coulent sont amères mais plus amères encore sont celles qui ne coulent pas.

"Proverbe" introuvable en gaélique et en anglais. Par contre, on trouve une citation très proche dans l'homélie LXIV "Sur les actes des Apôtres" de saint Jean Chrysostome (vers 400 après J.-C.).

Extrait de l'homélie LXIV "Sur les actes des Apôtres" de saint Jean Chrysostome:

Les larmes qui coulent sont moins amères que celles qui ne sortent pas du cœur; celles-là soulagent la douleur, celles-ci l'augmentent en la concentrant en nous-mêmes. Ainsi, lorsqu'on est dans la peine et qu’on ne peut exprimer son chagrin, pour ne pas paraître rechercher la vaine gloire, on souffre plus vivement que si l'on donnait cours à sa douleur.

|Les larmes qui coulent sont amères mais plus amères encore sont celles qui ne coulent pas.|

Ils ne savaient pas que c'était impossible, alors ils l'ont fait.

Citation faussement attribuée, selon les sources, à Mark Twain, Winston Churchill, Albert Einstein ou JF Kennedy. La citation est en réalité de Marcel Pagnol:
«Tout le monde savait que c'était impossible. Un ignare ne le savait pas: il l'a fait.» (Cinématurgie de Paris, 1967)


|Ils ne savaient pas que c'était impossible, alors ils l'ont fait.|

Qui avale une noix de coco fait confiance en son anus.

Proverbe de Côte d'Ivoire apparue dans "Afrique magazine" en 2003.
Je me permettrais cette modification:
«Qui avale une noix de coco a une grande gueule et fait confiance en son anus.»

|Qui avale une noix de coco fait confiance en son anus.|

Slightly sketchy account makes me uncomfortable and others report it... I politely give them a warning to migrate before shutting them down...

Day and a half later "Protocols of the Elders of Zion"... whelp, that's an immediate delete...

2 months into a relationship and god I love her so damn much. There's a lot of passion, but there's also that steady comfort and safety... God I already can't imagine life without her.

How do y'all process the lesbian uhaul instinct? lol

Hello world

Servers that consume significant resources (ie. fediverse servers...) cost so much... 😭

new work
আজকে এটিই আমার প্রথম পোস্ট। দেখি কেমন হয়?

Long time no writing here

I started to digging into my latest hobby of #bookbinding (but it's not the only one i assure you)
And made several pamphlet, with also some custom design.
I recently made couple of handmade hardcover journals. One using a custom hero-quest character sheet, the other one is just a lined notebook.
More info for who is interested are available here: ko-fi.com/post/Two-more-bookbi… (don't worry all my posts on #ko-fi are free)
It also gave my a nice surprise of receiveing the first donation ever (even if it will be the last it still made me happy! :) ) Any opinion comment is appreciated.
These are couple of pictures of my latest works:

Hey there, I'm Kees (they/them/their, ne/nem/nir), a 30-something bug living in California. I'm hoping to make this my public facing account to share my art and generally interact with the rest of the fediverse.

I'm an amateur naturalist (I like BIRDS and BUGS, especially parasitic wasps) and I do art in various media (digital, watercolor, acrylic), usually of birds or original characters from an ARPG I help run. #tokipona li pona. Aaand I don't know what else to put in here so I'll stop ha.

Hello world. Just doing some testing with how this interfaces with Mastodon, and the various privacy options
This is meant to be a public post with an abstract/CW

Hello there. Glasgow calling.
I'm an analogue digital hybrid who cares about mental health issues, music, photography and art.
I'm deeply suspicious of ducks (in a less than serious way) and although I exist on Mastodon I'm keen to migrate to Friendica.
Best wishes all.

Hello world

Mist and fog clouds over this domain. The thoughts of raceme flowers and pinnated ferns hang over my minds eye as I walk with covered pupils. The hard dirt feels rock like, with an occasional trip over roots.

Listened to a command on the internet informing me how to remove dependencies using pacman on arch. Ended up removing ca-certificates and fucking my system. Had to reinstall those packages from cache.

Super sleepy... good time to check on foggyminds, right?

Obligatory first post

It's just too warm to do anything... I loathe this heat. I want the winter temperatures back... 😩

Still don't understand what the differences between the 3 timelines "latest posts", "latest creation" and "latest activity" in Friendica are. 😆

@Shiri Bailem Thank you so much for the detailed explanation! It’s been very helpful in understanding the differences between the individual timelines.

@Charline glad i could help! Friendica is powerful but it's far from the easiest to understand.
@Charline

Since nerdica.net collapsed, I was searching for a new Friendica instance. I've finally found one.

@Shiri Bailem Yeah. They messed something up with their backups while updating Friendica or something like that. They couldn't manage to restore everything and gave up, sadly. But I'm glad I've found your server! 😀

@Charline yeah, these databases get huge and it becomes a lot harder to restore. a month or two ago I lost a few days to a database crash, this morning's database backup was 4GB. It takes like half an hour to start the database if it's not a clean shutdown (and about as much time to cleanly shut down).

It's kinda a nightmare lol
