As the light erupts across the sky your morning has just begun as cries of avow are birthed I sing to you my little one... 'tis not at this extreme 'tis between
You can endure no more of this abundance Your girths limit has been reached Ill content and miserable I say to you my child... 'tis not at this extreme 'tis between
Your barren face has lost its color You are barely there at all starving and desperate I reason with you... 'tis not at this extreme 'tis between
Not a thought for anything else can be she is all that you will see obsession overcomes thee Will you hear my plea... 'tis not at this extreme 'tis between
Her softest touch has torn your heart apart madness grips you to your core grief has manifest rage listen to my screams 'tis not at this extreme 'tis between
As the light dims across the sky your twilight finally arrives as sorrow finds its rest I utter my last goodbye... 'tis not at this extreme 'tis between

To those that have stood beside me , even when I lacked faith in myself, you have my everlasting gratitude, respect and love. You are the Cornerstones that my life is built upon. There is no way I could possibly repay you for all of your kindness and respect.
To those that have condescended me and have been intolerant of my flaws, even when you had no cause to be, thank you as you also have my everlasting gratitude, respect and love. You are the foundation of my life. More than any other person I know you have motivated, challenged, and driven me to success. I could not have been me, without you. There is no way I can repay this debt to you.
To those that have been apathetic and had no interest in my life, despite that I tried earnestly to be there for you, thank you as you also have my everlasting gratitude, respect and love. You have taught me humility, tolerance and compassion. Without you I would be far less of a human being. There is no way I can ever repay my debt to you.

You have taught me humility, tolerance and compassion. Without you I would be far less of a human being. There is no way I can ever repay my debt to you.
To those that I have never met and do not know me, just by circumstance, I can barely wait to meet you. You are my future and the person that will invest so much of your energy into building my character, wisdom and perspective to meet the challenges I will need in that era of my life. I will owe you more than I can ever repay someday, and I will do my best to be a positive contribution in your life. But how you receive me is not my option it is entirely your choice.
To those that I will never meet, due to time constraints, I want to thank you for the many ways you have improved my life though I cannot even fathom how you have. You have influenced others that have indirectly had an indirect or direct influence on me. I thank you for filling this need and I owe you a debt I can never repay.
When I tell you that you need to love your enemies, I am not being witty or sarcastic. I mean it emphatically and quite literally. How a person treats you is beyond your control. How you react and use their influence on your life is entirely up to you. They are not responsible if you fail to accept all the wonderful experiences they can bring to your life, if you let them.
No one will fail me because I will not allow that to happen. I will find a way to make their influence a positive one. If I do not meet this challenge then I have truly failed myself. You may say this is impractical or unrealistic and I tell you it is not optional. What we do not use to build ourselves up with, will be used to bury us with.
I have managed to fine tune my instance for now. Though I will have to see how it handles heavier loads when new users signup. For now the logs only show anticipated issues. Such as graphics that are shared that are not to encoded to the standard and thus throw exceptions. I would rather those exceptions be handled though for now it is not a big deal as it does not affect the server performance.
I am still learning the Friendica codebase so it will be sometime before I can work out issues such as these. And there are far more pressing issues.
Interesting, apparently all those tariffs are expected to cause significant increases in the cost of beer.
"..Beyond malt, hops, yeast and water, aluminum is a key ingredient in the manufacturing process, used to make the cans for most of the craft beer sold at retail.... For the craft beer industry, which depends heavily on aluminum cans from Canada, the 25% increase will hit hard.... For us, in packaging, it’s probably the most expensive part of what’s in a six-pack... A typical Spiteful six-pack sells for $11.99 on store shelves, Klein said. He expects the retail price to go up at least $1 per six-pack after the tariff hits...."
Oh fasten your seat belts, because we're going to hit back with tariffs of our own, and TFP promises to escalate if we do, so that Aluminum tariff is going to go to 30%, 35%, 50%... whatever dumb number the moron thinks will do the trick, and when he does, we'll increase and/or expand our tariffs, so get ready for $18 six packs.

revolt.chat/ is also an open source Discord clone, but doesn't federate, so you end up with a single super server anyway, so the open source and self-hostable part becomes rather moot.
@collectifission Why do you think you would end up with a single super server? It is enough when the client can connect to multiple servers at once. Your chats would be on your servers, and mine on mine, and each of our clients would connect to both.
Why would you even want to federate a chat server? It only complicates things – you do no longer have an authoritative timeline, and you invite spam the way Google Hangouts died in spam before it defederated random Jabber servers.

I wonder if the reason the current US regime hasn't started coming down on Signal yet is because they're still working on their own FOUO ( or however they plan to designate it ) fork or alternative. Once they have theirs, then I can see them coming for everyone else's. Just a thought as people build out resiliency and contingency plans.
@Ryo Kimball @cR0w This is all nonsense. I was using End to End encryption 20 years ago on Pidgin. So if criminals want to use E2E Enc, they are going to. By compromising the integrity of E2E Enc provided by Apple, Samsung, and others it will only help the criminals not Law Enforcement. A criminal enterprise does not need E2E Enc supplied by their communication providers. They can use their own devices as they always have and will continue to do. There is no good that can come from this.
