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! 😀



Seriously, if you're not in the US it's important to recognize how catastrophically fucked everything is. Like I actively need to flee the country bad...

If you're going to flee, flee to me. I will make use of you, by pointing you to someone who knows what to do.
in reply to Shiri Bailem

Yeah. Like, if you feel so powerless or hopeless that your impulse is to flee, why not take a chance at redirecting that energy. Point it toward a problem that needs doing.

You can do whatever you want. That's what it means to be free. You can be whoever you want to be, that's the meaning of liberty. If you don't have any ideas, come to me and I'll lend you a hand.

@Ritz-Menardi ... yeah, I'm talking about imminent threat of the loss of freedom for existing.

I'm disabled, I can't do shit, communication and education is all I can offer and I'm doing all I can there.

I'm dependent on others even for my ability to flee...

This is like Germany just before the Holocaust, telling Jews (of which I am also) to fight isn't a great idea at that time.

in reply to Shiri Bailem

Disability makes everything more difficult. I get it.

Communication and education are important.

You should do what your heart tells you to do.

in reply to Shiri Bailem

I'd like to add that "all you can do" is more than enough. Be kind to yourself, you are both important and valuable.
in reply to do-so-as-we-please

@Ritz-Menardi and to be clear, it's not an impulse to flee... it's complete terror because I see the writing on the wall for Hitler 2.0 and it's going to get really really bad before it gets better and if I stick around I'm very unlikely to survive.

Pikuach nefesh, my first duty is to stay alive.

in reply to Shiri Bailem

I know. Keep in mind, though, that the propagandic writing-on-the-wall cuts both ways. There are many more of us, than of them.

your first duty is to stay alive. plus, what you can do, you can do from anywhere, so long as the internet remains true. alas, has it ever been? but still it's up to you, what to do. no matter where you are, you'll find friends who will need your heart, your words, your kindness, and whatever other aid you may give.

I'm trans and relatively healthy and strong. in my legs at least. so my choice is a bit different than yours, mine becomes "die now, that others might live or die later, that others might die before me" and frankly that's not a choice at all.

@Harbinger of Salem I hate to say it but I wouldn't complain if he abused it to take care of his current political opponent...

Sensitive content



I'm in shock...

An anime I'm watching has a love triangle and then actually had someone say "have you considered polyamory?" (paraphrased)

#Polyamory #SomeoneGetsIt #MushokuTensei




Oh shit... first period.

That's what they mean by emotional!

So the temporary system had some sort of failure, I'm not even 100% sure what caused it to be honest. It went down sometime yesterday and some of the virtual drives got corrupted, which caught the database and the virtual gateway device.

I was able to restore the system... most of the way. Thankfully there are backups of the database, but some of them were also flawed as well, the most recent intact one was from 5/16, so 5 days were lost.

To be clear, this problem was exacerbated by the fact that there's not as much redundancy in the temporary setup (sadly it looks like it'll be a few more months before I have a place of my own and can spin up my own hardware again). But I'm going to still look at how I might get those in better shape.

As far as how long it took: I had a busy day yesterday and didn't see that the server was down until I was too exhausted to do anything about it, so it had to wait until I got off work today... each attempt at restoring the database takes around an hour, so that took *a while* to get restored.



Image Upload Trouble


If y'all have had issues uploading images... sorry about that.

I missed a setting when re-configuring the server after transfer to it's current environment and it's fixed now.

Longer Explanation: there are two servers involved, a reverse proxy and then the actual Friendica server. The Friendica server accepted uploads up to 100MB... the proxy didn't have that setting... so it would just go for a bit, then timeout. Added that setting to the proxy and all solved.

Welcome! I'm looking forward to reading about your projects especially bookbinding.
in reply to PatsyBaloney

@PatsyBaloney bookbinding is the most recent one, i just started to make few experiments with it, made couple of mini notebooks, i'll post some pictures in the coming days! :)


Server Migration Complete


Thank you for your patience!

The server has been migrated to a new dedicated remote server (hosted with OVH) and to the newest version of Friendica (2024.03, previously it was 2023.12).

Things should stabilize mostly for the time being, but I will be on the lookout for bugs.

Sorry I've not been on here for a while. Been busy.


Life has been very busy lately. I have been diagnosed with Breast Cancer and had a lump removed & a lot of appointments. I dressing changes 3 times a week. I am having CBT counselling. There is the decluttering. And that is on top of my caring duties, trying to cope with my osteoarthritis, etc & trying to sort out a motorbility car.
