Nick Vujicic, the remarkable evangelist born with no arms and no legs, was part of a massive outreach in Ukraine in which 400,000 surrendered to Christ as their Lord and Savior.
“The biggest event that our team at Life Without Limbs has seen and maybe the largest event ever in Europe – 800,000 people in the streets of Kiev Ukraine!” Nick reported on Facebook Oct. 17th.
Vujicic, 33, was born without arms or legs and was given no medical reason for his condition. On the ministry’s website, he explains, « It’s been said that doors open to a man without arms and legs much more easily than to anyone else, we thank God for providing that privilege. I’ve been invited into very unexpected places to share about my faith in Jesus Christ and literally millions have responded. »
Hubzilla is a powerful platform for creating interconnected websites featuring a decentralized identity, communications, and permissions framework built using common webserver technology. It could be an alternative as facebook, twitter or other services taken by big companies.
Finding a hub
That is not as easy. You have many hubs but many are outdated or don’t accept open registration
What the hub can do ?
As soon you find a hub where you can registrare an account you discover what the hub can do and what the hub cannot do. But the list of feature (activated plugin and feature) is not listed in a human reading. Exemple is the ostatus plugin activated or not. I cannot activated why ? Haaa that hub does not allow it. —> grrr I have to find an other hub and start at the begining.
Social ?
Hubzilla is a powerfull tool but it is a social tool. You expect communities or at least a community. But untill now the community is only hubzilla community. Where are people ? The community is small and not growing…. That dimension is missing. Hubzilla is only a tool not a community.
New users are not comfortable
I just notice that new user don’t stay. They try, open an account a channel and don’t use it. Why ? That would be interesting to try to answer that question. We could respond. Hubzilla is powerfull, it is a revolutionary tools, you are anomyme and privacy is really in the core etc. etc.. but the fast is new user are not able to dive into it and use it for a real use.
Slow
My user experience in hubzilla is that it is often slow. I am waiting often after clicking somewhere.
Double configuration
Often the admin should activate or parameter a plugin and the member should do the same. We need double configuration. If either the member or the admin don’t do it. It will not work. Even admin is not able to configurate plugin for member. That level of complexity is something like a weekness of course we also can see that like a strongness.
Simplicity should be the target.
How to make something complicated simple ? I hope the level of simplicity sill be the target for hubzilla.
Hubzilla is changing quicky and improvements are frequent. That is my hope. I am sure improvement will lead into the right direction. (simplicity)
Holiday is a time to forget the time. The goal is rest and doing nothing. Having a change of the daily routine. I have been to Liguria in North Italy when mountain drops directly into the sea.
During this period we even can be bored. One day has no 24 hours but a variable duration sometimes more and sometimes less. I like discovering a new region and something new. And the language is also a change when we don’t understand the local language.
The choosen region this year was Liguria in Italy. It is simple the continuation of the french mediteranean cost. Alps drops verticaly in the sea and this combination mountain and sea give such beauty.
Here are some photos.
Crossing Alps with Saint Bernard pass.
Alps drops into the sea.
Visiting piza and its famous tower. It was raining this day
And we didn’t forget Florenze and its famous bridge
On day we walk arount Riva Trigoso and saw that the fire was burnt all not long ago

Of course you can buy an additional plugin but I will explain how to integrate a spam protection without paying. You have to create and configure an account, change 2 sources. You can make it in 30 mn or less.
Here is a howto step by step for prestashop 1.6 (I don’t know about prestashop 1.7 but I imagine it should be similar).
1 Setup your Google reCAPTCHA if you don’t have it
If you don’t have this source in override\controllers\front copy it from controllers\front
Then you have to add few lines to check if the captcha is ok or not
search the postProcess() function it should be at the begining (2nd function) and add
if (Tools::isSubmit('submitMessage')) {
$extension = array('.txt', '.rtf', '.doc', '.docx', '.pdf', '.zip', '.png', '.jpeg', '.gif', '.jpg');
$file_attachment = Tools::fileAttachment('fileUpload');
$message = Tools::getValue('message'); // Html entities is not usefull, iscleanHtml check there is no bad html tags.
$id_order = (int)$this->getOrder();
if (!($from = trim(Tools::getValue('from'))) || !Validate::isEmail($from)) {
$this->errors[] = Tools::displayError('Invalid email address.');
// add the 2 lines from here
} elseif (!($gcaptcha = (int)(Tools::getValue('g-recaptcha-response')))) { $this->errors[] = Tools::displayError('Captcha error');
// to here
World’s longest pedestrian suspension bridge opens in Switzerland
Switzerland has opened the world’s longest suspension footbridge. It is 494 meters long.
The bridge is suspended between 1,600 meters and 2,200 meters above sea level. It is only 65 centimeters wide and goes as high as 85 meters above the ground.
Hikers, within sight of the famed mountain, the Matterhorn, and the Bernese Alps, can cross it in about 10 minutes
The bridge crosses the deepest-cut valley in Switzerland. Hikers can look down onto it through grates in the bridge.
Without the bridge, the journey previously took up to four hours.
According to Swiss reports, it took only 10 weeks to build the bridge. And the structure surpasses Germany’s “Titan-RT” as the world’s longest suspension footbridge. The « Titan-RT », which opened last month, is just over 450 meters long. It crosses Germany’s highest reservoir, the Rappbode Dam.
The Swiss bridge is also longer than the so-called « footbridge in the sky. » This bridge, built in 2014, is part of the Sochi Sky Park in Russia. It spans 439 meters and includes observation platforms looking on the mountains and the Black Sea Coast.
