Une bombe qui explose tuera sans doute des enfants, mais ces enfants ne mourront pas en ayant l'impression que l'humanité a trahi tout ce qu'ils étaient en droit d'attendre.
Cette horreur restera épinglée jusqu'à la fin des massacres à Gaza.
La vérité est si obscurcie en ce temps, et le mensonge si établi, qu'à moins que d'aimer la vérité, on ne saurait la connaître.

|La vérité est si obscurcie en ce temps, et le mensonge si établi, qu'à moins que d'aimer la vérité, on ne saurait la connaître.|
On n'a jamais fait croire des inepties aux hommes que pour les soumettre.
Cette citation est extraite de la "Treizième lettre adressée par M. Covelle à ses chers concitoyens" (Covelle était un pseudonyme utilisé par Voltaire) venant de "Questions sur le Miracles" de Voltaire (1765).
Cette lettre n'est certainement pas du 23 juillet 1765, comme l'indique le Café littéraire en référence. Elle est celle, attestée, de la première lettre.
Extrait de la "Treizième lettre" venant de "Questions sur le Miracles" de Voltaire (1765):
On n'a jamais fait croire des sottises aux hommes que pour les soumettre. La fureur de dominer est de toutes les maladies de l'esprit humain la plus terrible; mais ce ne peut être aujourd'hui que dans un violent transport au cerveau, que des hommes vêtus de noir puissent prétendre nous rendre imbéciles pour nous gouverner. Cela est bon pour les sauvages du Paraguai qui obéissent en esclaves aux jésuites; mais il faut en user autrement avec nous. Nous devons être jaloux des droits de notre raison comme de ceux de notre liberté, car plus nous serons des êtres raisonnables, plus nous serons des êtres libres. Prenez-y bien garde, mes chers compatriotes, citoyens, bourgeois, natifs, et habitants; il faut qu'on ne nous trompe, ni sur notre religion, ni sur notre gouvernement. Le droit de dire et d'imprimer ce que nous pensons est le droit de tout homme libre, dont on ne saurait le priver sans exercer la tyrannie la plus odieuse. Ce privilège nous est aussi essentiel que celui de nommer nos auditeurs et nos syndics, d'imposer des tributs, de décider de la guerre et de la paix; et il serait plaisant que ceux en qui réside la souveraineté ne pussent pas dire leur avis par écrit.

La dernière phrase de Voltaire est paradoxale. La liberté est valable pour tous, pas uniquement aux simples citoyens. En outre, Voltaire a raconté nombre d'inepties dans ces lettres.

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...

Sorry for the downtime
Housing situation has been a pain, still on the temporary server environment and been hitting major resources bottlenecks.
I'm hoping to get a place sooner, but I've hit some roadblocks that very likely will push it drastically further out... in which case I'll need to spend more money on this environment to return things to stable.
Reminder that I'm covering this entirely out of my own pocket and these constraints are because I'm between homes and can't use my own much cheaper hardware. If you appreciate this instance I would very much appreciate a donation.

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:

any comment/critics is appreciated.
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.

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.
Introduction
New here, i'm a nerd and in freetime programmer! Italian, living in Ireland
I like to do a lot of stuff, and i'm interested in: #programming #osdev #music #art #bookbinding #sewing etc.
I like crafting things basically. And writing OS (and about Osdev in general).
Also have an interest into arts, and so far i made a small bunch of paintings (i'm a newbie so don't expect high level art), i will maybe post the photos here in the future.
So far that's all, my nick in the fediverse, and outside is most of the time dreamos82.
