Nous sommes ce que nous faisons de manière répétée. L'excellence n'est donc pas un acte mais une habitude.
Citation apocryphe.
L'erreur d'attribution vient du fait que Will Durant, dans son ouvrage "The Story of Philosophy: The Lives and Opinions of the World's Greatest Philosophers" (1926), a pris le résumé des idées d'Aristote comme étant les mots d'Aristote lui-même.

On peut obtenir beaucoup plus avec un mot gentil et un revolver, qu'avec un mot gentil tout seul.
Citation apocryphe.
Quote Investigator émet l'hypothèse que cette boutade a été élaborée par l'humoriste Professeur Irwin Corey en 1953. De plus, QI pense que Corey a fabriqué l'attribution à Al Capone en 1969 pour renforcer l'effet comique et sans réelle intention de tromper. Néanmoins, l'attribution a été prise au sérieux et, aujourd'hui, l'expression est souvent attribuée à tort à Capone.

Ne juge pas la journée en fonction de la récolte du soir mais d'après les graines que tu as semées.
Citation apocryphe. Nous devons ce précepte à William Arthur Ward, écrivain américain connu pour ses proverbes, pensées et citations, sous cette forme:
«Jugez chaque jour non pas par la récolte que vous avez faite, mais par les graines que vous plantez.»

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.

Holy shit, today I learned... now I can at least follow people on Bluesky without having to make an account... (Bonus because Friendica supports RSS natively, but y'all on Mastodon and similar will probably benefit from this)
One of my favorite people is now on blue sky, and I dont want to create a bluesky account just to follow him.Fortunately every blue sky account has an rss feed, and RSSParrot can create a fediverse account for me to follow so I can get my favorite twitch streamer's bluesky updates right in my mastodon timeline: rss-parrot.net/

RSS Parrot
Home of RSS Parrot, a free Fediverse service that lets you turn Mastodon into an RSS or Atom feed reader.rss-parrot.net
My instance is currently running on a rented dedicated server, but in the next few weeks gets transferred back down to my own local hardware. But it still doesn't cost nothing to run even after that (power, internet, upgrades, backups, time).
I literally never received a donation, but I keep trucking on.
That said, running your own instance is rewarding and I definitely encourage shared hosting solutions.
The power of the fediverse is decentralization which doesn’t happen by accident. If you’re on a server you love then support it financially, but if you’re thinking of changing servers consider spinning up your own.The cost of managed hosting via @fedihost is the same as what I was previously contributing to my prior server, but now I have complete control of my experience.
