La vérité est bonne mais elle blesse, le mensonge est mauvais, mais il engraisse.
1090ème proverbe recueilli par I.N. Kuteïnikov et offert à sa mère en souvenir en 1968.
«Хороша правда , да колет , плоха ложь , да кормит.» ou « Хороша правда да колит, плоха ложь да кормит.»

Il est aussi présent dans un ouvrage russe destiné à l'aide à la traduction du russe en français (1981). Cette traduction vient d'ailleurs de cet ouvrage (elle essaye de reproduite le jeu de mot avec "blesse" et "engraisse"):

On ne peut s'empêcher de vieillir, mais on peut s'empêcher de devenir vieux.
Cette citation serait de George Burns, comédien de vaudeville américain qui a continué sa carrière dans le cinéma, la radio et la télévision.
Elle est inconnue en France avant 2009, mais elle est connue aux États-Unis en 1984.

En toutes choses, il vaut mieux espérer que désespérer.
Extrait de "Torquato Tasso", pièce de théâtre de Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1790).
Extrait de "Torquato Tasso" de Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1790):
LÉONORE.
Espères-tu maintenant agir sur un caractère qui te semblait tout à l'heure impraticable?
ANTONIO.
Nous espérons toujours, et en toutes choses il vaut mieux espérer que désespérer; car qui peut calculer ce qui est possible? Il est cher à notre prince, il faut qu'il reste avec nous; et si c'est en vain que nous aurons cherché à le corriger, il ne sera pas le seul dont nous supportions les défauts.LÉONORE .
Je ne te crois pas à ce point affranchi de passion et de partialité! Tu t'es bien vite converti.ANTONIO.
Il faut bien que l'âge ait du moins cette prérogative de savoir s'arrêter à temps , s'il n'a pas réussi à éviter l'erreur. Tu voulais d'abord m'amener à pardonner à ton ami: c'est à présent moi qui t'en prie. Fais ce que tu pourras pour qu'enfin il revienne à lui, et que tout rentre bientôt dans l'ordre accoutumé. J'irai moi-même à sa rencontre, dès que tu m'auras dit qu'il est calmé, que ma présence ne peut plus accroître le mal. Mais ne perds pas de temps: Alphonse repart ce soir, et je dois l'accompagner. En attendant, adieu.

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...

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.

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.

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.
