Yay! I got a sibling to turn on the Bluesky/AP bridge!

Hi Aris! @RS

(Also someone on github said my side of the bridge might fix if I mention someone on the other side lol)

@RS
in reply to Shiri Bailem

Cool! Am I correct in my understanding that other people over there can follow me as fed.brid.gy/bsky/tadaris... and it'll all magically link?

tadaris.bsky.social profile - ...

in reply to RS

@RS Yep, it's translating requests from ActivityPub (Mastodon, Friendica, etc) to AT (Bluesky) and back.

It's opt-in though, which is why you needed to follow the bridge account: @ap.brid.gy on the Bluesky side and @Bridgy Fed for Bluesky on the other

La différence entre la stupidité et le génie est que le génie a ses limites.


Citation apocryphe.

Quote Investigator pense qu'Alexandre Dumas, fils, peut être crédité de l'expression donnée dans la citation de 1865. De même, Elbert Hubbard peut être crédité d'avoir popularisé la version donnée dans la citation de 1906. Il n'existe aucune preuve substantielle qu'Albert Einstein ait dit ou écrit une quelconque occurrence de l'expression.

Aimez votre voisin mais ne supprimez pas votre clôture.


"Proverbe" associé à la Chine depuis le début du XXIe siècle en France alors qu'il est évident qu'il s'agit d'une boutade en rapport avec le commandement de Dieu d'aimer son prochain comme soi-même. On la doit à Carl Sandburg, écrivain américain né en 1878 et décédé en 1967.

«Aime ton prochain comme toi-même, mais n'enlève pas ta clôture.» Carl Sandburg, "The people, yes" (1936)


|Aimez votre voisin mais ne supprimez pas votre clôture.|



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.

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.

Vanessa reshared this.





Stalin: Actually, Mr. Churchill, and his friends in Britain and the United States, present to the non-English speaking nations something in the nature of an ultimatum: “Accept our rule voluntarily, and then all will be well; otherwise war is inevitable.” But the nations shed their blood in the course of five years’ fierce war for the sake of the liberty and independence of their countries, and not in order to exchange the domination of the Hitlers for the domination of the Churchills. It is quite probable, accordingly, that the non-English-speaking nations, which constitute the vast majority of the population of the world, will not agree to submit to a new slavery. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

Major Service Notice, USpol

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.
