Extrait de "A gift for God: prayers and meditations" de Mère Teresa (1975):
Essayons dès le début de vivre l'esprit des Missionnaires de la Charité, qui est celui d'un abandon total à Dieu, d'une confiance affectueuse les uns envers les autres et d'une bonne humeur à l'égard de tous. Si nous acceptons vraiment cet esprit, alors, à coup sûr, nous serons les véritables co-ouvriers du Christ, porteurs de son amour. Cet esprit doit rayonner de votre propre cœur vers votre famille, votre voisin, votre ville, votre pays, le monde. Insistons de plus en plus sur la collecte de fonds pour l'amour, la bonté, la compréhension et la paix. L'argent viendra si nous cherchons d'abord le Royaume de Dieu; le reste sera donné.
|Insistons sur le développement de l'amour, la gentillesse, la compréhension, la paix. Le reste nous sera offert.|

L'ignorance est un crépuscule, le mal y rode. Songez à l'éclairage des rues, soit, mais songez aussi, songez surtout, à l'éclairage des esprits.

Extrait du discours d'ouverture de Victor Hugo au Congrès Littéraire International de 1878. Nous sommes le 17 juin 1878:
Ah! la lumière! la lumière toujours! la lumière partout! Le besoin de tout c'est la lumière. La lumière est dans le livre. Ouvrez le livre tout grand. Laissez-le rayonner, laissez-le faire. Qui que vous soyez qui voulez cultiver, vivifier, édifier, attendrir, apaiser, mettez des livres partout; enseignez, montrez, démontrez; multipliez les écoles; les écoles sont les points lumineux de la civilisation.
Vous avez soin de vos villes, vous voulez être en sûreté dans vos demeures, vous êtes préoccupés de ce péril, laisser la rue obscure; songez à ce péril plus grand encore, laisser obscur l'esprit humain. Les intelligences sont des routes ouvertes; elles ont des allants et venants, elles ont des visiteurs, bien ou mal intentionnés, elles peuvent avoir des passants funestes; une mauvaise pensée est identique à un voleur de nuit, l'âme a des malfaiteurs; faites le jour partout; ne laissez pas dans l'intelligence humaine de ces coins ténébreux où peut se blottir la superstition, où peut se cacher l'erreur, où peut s'embusquer le mensonge. L'ignorance est un crépuscule; le mal y rôde. Songez à l'éclairage des rues, soit; mais songez aussi, songez surtout, à l'éclairage des esprits.
|L'ignorance est un crépuscule, le mal y rode. Songez à l'éclairage des rues, soit, mais songez aussi, songez surtout, à l'éclairage des esprits.|
Il n'y a rien de noble à être supérieur à ses semblables. La vraie noblesse consiste à être supérieur à soi-même.
Citation jamais sourcée et inconnue avant 2001. J'en déduis qu'elle est apocryphe.
Ce texte parle du prochain et non du semblable. Or, il ne viendrait pas à l'idée d'un prochain de vouloir être supérieur à un autre prochain.
«There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self.»
|Il n'y a rien de noble à être supérieur à ses semblables. La vraie noblesse consiste à être supérieur à soi-même.|

People think Linux needs you to constantly open the terminal to work on things, in part because they see Linux users so often opening the terminal to work on things...
Was just appreciating this morning that the "opening the terminal to fix it" in Linux is a privilege, not a limitation lol.
Sound started glitching this morning, I of course checked the soundbar, unplugged and replugged it, didn't fix it. Switched to TV speakers same problem.
Me being a techie, I'm going "Ah, pipewire glitched out", I pop open the terminal type systemctl --user restart pipewire and voila sound is perfectly fine again.
Do I expect other people to know how to do that to handle an odd sound glitch? No! I expect them "turn it off and on again".
The difference is that in Windows that's the only choice, probably the same with Mac too.

Looking to use Friendica a bit more
Lately I've been trying to convince myself to use social media more, so I can actually socialize and not just spend all my time watching YT.
I actually used to use reddit chronically, but at this point I haven't posted anything in months and that's been a plus in my opinion.
I started by using Discord more (I know, ABSOLUTELY PROPRIETARY(TM), but I joined a really good server that isn't anywhere else like Matrix).
Then I started using Mastodon more, and to my surprise I got my first follower in the form of Patrick Volkerding, the creator of Slackware, my all-time favorite Linux distro. Pretty poggers if you ask me.
Mastodon's been doing pretty good for me, and now I'm taking things further by trying to use Friendica more often. Soon enough, I'll also try to get back in the habit of using Lemmy instead of reddit.
If it's federated/foss, I'll think about trying it (except Bluesky, I predict that platform is gonna get real spooky like Twitter in a matter of time).
Overall, look forward to seeing more of me on Friendica, and if you want you can check out my Mastodon at tronnerd82@mastodon.social
@TronNerd82 I mean you'll probably have either have some forewarning or have bigger issues on your mind if that comes about... ie. if I have to emergency bail then you're probably doing the same or about to...
If I do get the opportunity to escape this state or country I'll probably at least have time to give people a heads up that the server is going down.

Downtime
Sorry for the downtime, server crashed and I wasn't able to address it quickly or smoothly in my current mental state.
I took advantage of the downtime, and probably exacerbated it a little, and finally did the migration back to local hardware... so it *should* be more reliable.
What honestly stretched it out a lot is that I also applied the most recent stable Friendica version and that took forever to update the database.
It's with a heavy heart that I'm letting y'all know that I'm disabling open-registrations and *encouraging* all users to find a new home.
I'm not kicking anyone off my server, but unfortunately due to the political situation here in the US the chance for things to go *very bad very quickly* I can not vouch for this server as reliable.
I live in Texas and need to figure out plans to evacuate at this point. I was holding out hope that we'd at least have status quo (as monstrously awful as it is) for longer.
And to make things worse, I'm a trans-woman, they actively want to make my very existence (let alone presence online) illegal and have been building the machinery to make that a very fast process once Trump assumes office.
So I do not recommend this server any longer for those reasons, if you choose to stay I'll continue to run it and support y'all.
