Personne ne se connaît soi-même sans avoir été éprouvé, ne peut être couronné sans avoir vaincu, ne peut vaincre sans avoir combattu, et ne peut combattre s'il n'a pas rencontré l'ennemi et les tentations.


Citation détournée extraite du "Discours sur le psaume LX" de saint Augustin.

Saint Augustin parle de l'épreuve du péché, pas de grimper une montagne. Il ne s'agit pas de développement personnel.

Extrait du "Discours sur le psaume LX" de saint Augustin:

Et, en effet, notre vie, dans cet exil sur la terre, ne peut être exempte de tentations; car notre avancement a lieu par le fait même de nos tentations, et nul ne se connaît qu'autant qu'il a été éprouvé, nul ne peut recevoir la couronne qu'autant qu'il a remporté la victoire, nul ne peut vaincre qu'autant qu'il combat, et nul ne peut combattre s'il n'a un ennemi et s'il n'est attaqué. Celui qui crie des extrémités de la terre est donc dans les angoisses, mais il n'est pas abandonné.


|Personne ne se connaît soi-même sans avoir été éprouvé, ne peut être couronné sans avoir vaincu, ne peut vaincre sans avoir combattu, et ne peut combattre s'il n'a pas rencontré l'ennemi et les tentations.|



Mais au fond, il n'y a pas d'amis, il n'y a que des complices. Et quand la complicité cesse, l'amitié s'évanouit.


Citation extraite du recueil de poésies "Le Livre de mon bord" de Pierre Reverdy (1948).

Il s'agit des paroles d'un homme égaré, comme Friedrich Nietzsche et Albert Camus. Ces hommes n'ont pas trouvé Dieu.

Extrait de "Le Livre de mon bord" de Pierre Reverdy (1948):

Il ne s'agirait pas tellement d'aimer, mais seulement de pouvoir admettre et supporter le prochain, tel qu'il est, en lui-même et encore, si l'on y tient, pour l’amour de Dieu.


Un ami, c'est quelqu'un à qui l'on a donné barre sur soi mais qui doit bien se garder d'en abuser. C'est ce qui, entre l'homme et la femme, mériterait surtout d'être compris.

Mais, au fond, il n'y a pas d'amis, il n'y a que des complices. Et, quand la complicité cesse, l'amitié s'évanouit.

Il y a deux sortes d'unions qui durent - celle où l'on ne s'entend pas, bien qu'on s'aime - celle où l'on s'entend, bien qu’on ne s'aime pas. Et enfin peut-être, aussi, une troisième — mais n'en parlons pas.


|Mais au fond, il n'y a pas d'amis, il n'y a que des complices. Et quand la complicité cesse, l'amitié s'évanouit.|

Subway Tooter & Foggy Minds


Tried logging on to here via Subway Tooter, which I use for Mastodon. It's supposed to work with Friendica too. I tried the Friendiqa app but it doesn't even recognise this site exists. Anyway it appeared I'd logged on successfully but when I went to look at my feed I got a very long error message. The folks on Subway Tooter's help forum said it was a server issue and to contact the server owner.
in reply to Vanessa

@Vanessa That would be me for future reference (in the menu under information it has a lot of the server details and in there is a link to my profile as well as my email address)

If you look further down on that error message where it says HTTP 502 Bad Gateway it tells me the server might have been having issues at that point in time. In all honestly it's kinda unavoidable at the time due to resource constraints, sites currently on a rented dedicated server until I fix my housing situation (current ETA is late october when I can work on putting it back on my own, more stable, hardware again), so it probably was just having issues loading that page at that time.

There's not a lot I can do with troubleshooting clients, but let me know if it keeps having trouble and maybe I can work with you to find some answers?

in reply to Vanessa

I've got it partially working. The feed doesn't work but the notifications do and I can boost/repost posts from my Mastodon accounts onto my Foggy Minds account





I don't think it's talked about enough tbh.
When my egg cracked, there was a sense of dread... because once I knew there was no going back. My life would never be safe again.
Do I regret it? Not one bit, I'm genuinely happier now, but I do miss safety...

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.







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.




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.




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

Shinryu reshared this.



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

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

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


Since nerdica.net collapsed, I was searching for a new Friendica instance. I've finally found one.
in reply to Shiri Bailem

@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! 😀
in reply to Charline

@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







另类右翼、另类lite、另类左翼中的“另类”是什么?关于作为政治能指的“另类”


原文:journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/…
本文的翻译是笔记式翻译(概述原文,但不包含译者观点),并不完整

What Was the ‘Alt’ in Alt-Right, Alt-Lite, and Alt-Left? On ‘Alt’ as a Political Modifier
另类右翼、另类lite、另类左翼中的“另类”是什么?关于作为政治能指的“另类”

“另类”修饰语最好被理解为是关于政治该怎样进行的偏好的能指。“另类”主要被用来标示其与主流在遵守政治行为规范方面的决裂:也就是拒绝“礼貌”,拥抱下流、尖锐的“幽默”,对政治对手采用对抗的、经常是故意冒犯的方式。

在“另类右翼”一词被谁创造、何时出现的问题上存在着分歧。一些记述将其追溯到2008年11月,旧保守派人物Paul Gottfried在极右翼H.L. Mencken Club发布的演讲,《另类右翼的衰弱与崛起》。其它描述则认为是Richard Spencer创造了这个术语,Spencer本人也认为如此。2010年时Spencer用这个术语作为网站的域名,当时这个网站在语气上还偏好严肃、理智主义、受人尊敬的形象。后来他表示嫌这个词消极且相对主义,而且不想把自己的主意根基于传统左右划分。

尽管Spencer放弃了这个术语,接下来这个词继续偶尔出现在Reddit、4Chan等地方。在2015年,它出人意料地在社媒上爆发。这和早期的“另类右翼”之间存在着核心区别,早期的核心是Spencer,后期“另类右翼”的核心则是各种网络名人,而且没有披上体面、理智主义的外衣,拥抱网络巨魔文化的讽刺、挖苦、堕落幽默感,不像早期的“另类右翼”一样在伪知识分子网站上发布冗长严肃的文章,而是通过“政治正确”和故意冒犯模因来交流。另类右翼的顶峰是川普竞选时期。

Alt-lite(或Alt-light)则是另类右翼用来贬义地描述那些同情,或者与另类右翼有联系,但不表明民族主义或反犹观点的人。他们在仇恨女性主义者、移民等方面与另类右翼一致。他们会使用“言论自由”、“政治正确”等方式,声称自己的批评者过度敏感、不懂幽默,他们有更广泛的媒体影响力与更复杂的策略。它通常不是一个独立的运动,而是在另类右翼的旗下。

另类左翼则是个用来攻击的术语,试图通过声称左翼中也有同样糟糕的、极端主义的群体来攻击左翼。它由特朗普的随口一说和随后几天极右翼网站的专栏开始。最开始只是一种模糊的、哪里都可以用的攻击,后来采用了一种政治马蹄理论的现代版本,再后来用来指一些同样具有讽刺语气、频繁使用模因、反对任何不以阶级为中心的“身份政治”的左翼网络媒体。基本没有人用这个标签来描述自己,几乎是用来攻击一个不存在的运动。后来似乎几乎没什么人使用了。

对于liberals和中间派来说,另类右翼和另类左翼所蕴含的道德等价使他们能够把自己包装为进步政治价值真正的火炬手,不单单能对抗另类右翼,还能对抗另类左翼所谓的性别歧视、种族主义、年龄歧视和在身份政治上的装聋作哑。另外,这种一边是另类左翼,一边是另类右翼的二分框架使得liberals和中间派能够声称:

他们被夹在两种隐秘地有许多共同点的狂热分子之间。这将他们的自由主义,可能还包括一些“温和的共和党人”,的独特品牌,打造为唯一合理的立场,而且是被另类们围攻的那种。

liberals和中间派因此能够将自己描绘为政治房间里唯一的明智成年人。
