Dear members and friends of ipernity, 1. Outreach support needed (advisory position). For our club to have a good future, it needs to be better known. Therefore, we need to promote ipernity. There are many ways to do this. Some of them have already been put in place. But we need someone who has a little time to keep these activities alive. New ways of promoting ipernity could also be found. Advisors would coordinate with the team, but have autonomy to run their own projects. There is…

La parabole des porcs-épics A. Schopenhauer | Extraits des « Parerga et Paralipomena » Par une froide journée d’hiver un troupeau de porcs-épics s’était mis en groupe serré pour se garantir mutuellement contre la gelée par leur propre chaleur. Mais tout aussitôt ils ressentirent les atteintes de leurs piquants, ce qui les fit s’écarter les uns des autres. Quand le besoin de se réchauffer les eut rapprochés de nouveau, le même inconvénient se renouvela, de sorte qu’ils étaient ballottés de…

Ils travaillent entre 3000 et 5300 mètres d’altitude. Mal équipés et mal payés, au péril de leur vie, les ouvriers des Travaux publics indiens, sous le contrôle de l’armée, ont pour mission de maintenir ouverte la seule route sécurisée qui mène au Ladakh. Un axe vital emprunté six mois par an par des milliers de chauffeurs routiers. Des trompe-la mort, sans lesquels aucune activité économique ne serait possible dans cet État du nord de l’Inde. Une région par ailleurs hautement stratégique, coincée entre la Chine et le Pakistan. Pays avec lesquels l’Inde a toujours entretenu des relations conflictuelles. * Article rédigé en 2013

[FR] Paul écrit dans son épître aux Thessaloniciens que l’Empire romain agit comme un katechon, c’est-à-dire comme un pouvoir qui masque la réalité agissante de l’apocalypse. Or l’apocalypse correspond en même temps selon lui à la Parousie, qui est la seconde venue du Christ. L’effondrement de l’Empire, c’est l’apocalypse, mais c’est aussi la révélation de la rédemption. « La tradition des opprimés nous enseigne que ‘ l’état d’exception’ dans lequel nous vivons est la règle. Nous devons par…

I would like to apply for the role of CTO, while I am more of an engineer with computer skills than an IT expert. Since my computer science lessons at school over 40 years ago, before Windows, my knowledge today is based on what I have taught myself. Much has grown out of working with Wim Janssen on votingmachines.panoramiogames.com . So I learned html, php, javascript and SQL, which is used there. This allowed me to help with the last small upgrades, but I found that ipernity is much mor…

Annie Ernaux est écrivain. Elle vit à Cergy, en région parisienne. Son oeuvre oscille entre l'autobiographie et la sociologie, l'intime et le collectif. Dans cette lettre adressée à Emmanuel Macron, elle interroge la rhétorique martiale du Président.

Bon , sérieusement , pas d’atelier d’écriture depuis le 11 mars dernier chez notre amie Colombe , et mon stylo commence sérieusement à sécher… Alors ce lundi 30 mars 2020, je m’y mets à l’ouvrage. Alors ce coup-ci c’est certain, cela fait dix neuf jours exactement et l’on commence vraiment Tous et Toutes à être au bout du rouleau…Et bien sûr vous comprendrez sans nul doute que ce n’est pas seulement une question de manque de papier toilettes. Le problème numéro un pour nous tous, c’est que…

Quelquefois je me dis encore : "Ce n'est pas possible, on va se réveiller". Mais non. C'est même comme si on réalisait chaque jour davantage. En ce moment on passe un peu par toutes les émotions... Il faut se protéger les uns les autres bien-sûr (voire les uns des autres !) en restant chez soi même si certains, j'ose espérer de moins en moins, font toujours comme si de rien n'était... Mais entre ceux qui insultent ceux qui sortent quelques instants (même juste pour sortir leurs poubelles !) parc…
