Propos attribués à Confucius dans le "Jardin d'éloquence" (Shuo Yuan) de Liu Xiang:

Quand un homme de qualité cultive son comportement mais ne parvient pas à obtenir une position, il est heureux de sa propre compréhension des choses ; ayant obtenu une position, il est heureux de sa propre sagesse. Ainsi, il est heureux toute sa vie et n’éprouve pas le moindre désespoir. Une personne mesquine n’est pas comme cela. Lorsqu’elle n’a pas encore obtenu une position, elle est affligée de ne pas l’obtenir ; et, après avoir obtenu une position, elle est affligée à l’idée de la perdre. Ainsi, elle est accablée de soucis toute sa vie et n’éprouve pas le moindre bonheur.

«Il n'y a pas de plus grand bonheur que de nouer de nouvelles amitiés.» Qu Yuan, Neuf chants (Jiu Ge), V Le petit maître du destin (Shao si ming), entre 241-223 avant J.-C.

|Il n'y a pas de plus grand bonheur que de nouer de nouvelles amitiés.|

Citation de Liu Xiang extraite du "Dictionnaire classique de la langue chinoise" (法文註釋中國古文大辭典) de Séraphin Couvreur, prêtre jésuite français missionnaire en Chine de 1870 à 1919, (1904).

|Le bonheur vient de l'attention (prêté) aux petites choses, et le malheur de la négligence des petites choses.|

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.

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:

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.

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.

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.
