Quand tout va bien on peut compter sur les autres, quand tout va mal on ne peut compter que sur sa famille.


"Proverbe" dont le sens est introuvable avant 1980 aux États-Unis et plus tard en France, ce qui témoigne d'une évolution frappante des mentalités occidentales.
Cherchez la phrase "only count on your family" et "on ne peut compter que sur sa famille".


|Quand tout va bien on peut compter sur les autres, quand tout va mal on ne peut compter que sur sa famille.|



On a dû te dire qu'il fallait réussir dans la vie; moi je te dis qu'il faut vivre, c'est la plus grande réussite du monde.


Citation extraite du récit et essai "Les vraies richesses" de Jean Giono (1936).

Il faut vivre en personne vertueuse, car vivre dans le vice ce n'est pas recommandable.

Extrait du récit et essai "Les vraies richesses" de Jean Giono (1936):

On a dû te dire qu'il fallait réussir dans la vie; moi je te dis qu'il faut vivre, c'est la plus grande réussite du monde. On t'a dit: «Avec ce que tu sais, tu gagneras de l'argent.» Moi je te dis: «Avec ce que tu sais tu gagneras des joies.» C'est beaucoup mieux. Tout le monde se rue sur l'argent. Il n'y a plus de place au tas des batailleurs. De temps en temps un d'eux sort de la mêlée, blême, titubant, sentant déjà le cadavre, le regard pareil à la froide clarté de la lune, les mains pleines d'or mais n'ayant plus force et qualité pour vivre; et la vie le rejette. Du côté des joies, nul ne se presse; elles sont libres dans le monde, seules à mener leurs jeux féeriques sur l'asphodèle et le serpolet des clairières solitaires.


|On a dû te dire qu'il fallait réussir dans la vie; moi je te dis qu'il faut vivre, c'est la plus grande réussite du monde.|



Un homme n'est jamais si grand que lorsqu'il est à genoux pour aider un enfant.


Citation apparue à la fin du XXe siècle et associée aux Chevaliers de Pythagore (Knights of Pythagoras), une fondation maçonnique de la jeunesse de Pennsylvanie. Impossible de savoir si elle est authentique ou pas.

Subway Tooter & Foggy Minds


Tried logging on to here via Subway Tooter, which I use for Mastodon. It's supposed to work with Friendica too. I tried the Friendiqa app but it doesn't even recognise this site exists. Anyway it appeared I'd logged on successfully but when I went to look at my feed I got a very long error message. The folks on Subway Tooter's help forum said it was a server issue and to contact the server owner.
in reply to Vanessa

I've got it partially working. The feed doesn't work but the notifications do and I can boost/repost posts from my Mastodon accounts onto my Foggy Minds account

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...

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:

Hello there. Glasgow calling.
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.

@Shiri Bailem Thankyou very much. Hope you are well.



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.

Listened to a command on the internet informing me how to remove dependencies using pacman on arch. Ended up removing ca-certificates and fucking my system. Had to reinstall those packages from cache.


It's just too warm to do anything... I loathe this heat. I want the winter temperatures back... 😩

Still don't understand what the differences between the 3 timelines "latest posts", "latest creation" and "latest activity" in Friendica are. 😆

@Shiri Bailem Thank you so much for the detailed explanation! It’s been very helpful in understanding the differences between the individual timelines.


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! 😀

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.

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