Toute tolérance accordée aux fanatiques leur fait croire immédiatement à de la sympathie pour leur cause.
Citation extraite du roman historique "Mémoires d'Hadrien" de Marguerite Yourcenar, publié en 1951. Ces pseudo-mémoires de l'empereur romain Hadrien ont rencontré un succès international fulgurant assurant la célébrité à son auteur.
Un exemple typique du détournement de citation.
Extrait du roman historique "Mémoires d'Hadrien" de Marguerite Yourcenar (1951):
Ce fut vers cette époque que Quadratus, évêque des chrétiens, m'envoya une apologie de sa foi. J'avais eu pour principe de maintenir envers cette secte la ligne de conduite strictement équitable qui avait été celle de Trajan dans ses meilleurs jours; je venais de rappeler aux gouverneurs de provinces que la protection des lois s'étend à tous les citoyens, et que les diffamateurs des chrétiens seraient punis s'ils portaient contre eux des accusations sans preuves. Mais toute tolérance accordée aux fanatiques leur fait croire immédiatement à de la sympathie pour leur cause; j’ai peine à m'imaginer que Quadratus espérait faire de moi un chrétien; il tint en tout cas à me prouver l'excellence de sa doctrine et surtout son innocuité pour l'État. Je lus son œuvre; j'eus même la curiosité de faire rassembler par Phlégon des renseignements sur la vie du jeune prophète nommé Jésus, qui fonda la secte, et mourut victime de l'intolérance juive il y a environ cent ans. Ce jeune sage semble avoir laissé des préceptes assez semblables à ceux d'Orphée, auquel ses disciples le comparent parfois.

Il est plus facile de désintégrer un atome qu'un préjugé.
C'est au psychologue américain Ronald Lippitt que l'on doit cet aphorisme.

En 1945, le monde avait pris conscience du pouvoir destructeur de l'atome et où pouvait nous mener désormais la haine.
Ronald Lippitt écrivit dans la revue "The Journal of Social Issues" en 1945:
«Il est désormais plus facile d'écraser un atome que de briser un préjugé.»

Les bonnes résolutions sont des chèques tirés sur une banque où l'on n'a pas de compte courant.
Citation tronquée extraite du roman "Le Portrait de Dorian Gray" d'Oscar Wilde (1890).
Il n'y a rien à y penser de bien, comme souvent avec Oscar Wilde.
Citation complète:
Les bonnes résolutions ne peuvent qu'inutilement intervenir contre les lois scientifiques. Leur origine est de pure vanité et leur résultat est nul. De temps à autre, elles nous donnent quelques luxueuses émotions stériles qui
possèdent, pour les faibles, un certain charme. Voilà ce que l’on peut en déduire. On peut les comparer à des chèques qu’un homme tirerait sur une banque où il n’aurait point de compte ouvert.

Trans Texans Can No Longer Change the Gender Marker on Their Drivers Licenses
Until this week, trans residents could change their gender marker with a court order or amended birth certificate.James Factora (Them.)

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...

Trans Woman Would Actually Rather Be Safe Than Brave

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:

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.

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.

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.
