Contexte La dernière fois que j'ai été chez Cultura pour acheter des livres pour nos fils, j'ai jeté un œil aux Blake & Mortimer, et j'ai pris celui-ci que je n'avais jamais vu ni lu: "Le Dernier Pharaon" . L'Histoire Un étrange champ magnétique émane du palais de justice de Bruxelles, forçant les autorités à dresser un mur autour de la ville et à évacuer les habitants. Mortimer semble être le…
Context Of course I knew George Orwell already (I still need to make progress on finishing 1984!), but honestly, I didn't know about Animal Farm . When did I hear about it? Well, when reading "L'équipe" during the NBA playoffs, I was following the San Antonio Spurs and especially Victor Wenbanyama, who's an avid reader... and one of the books he was reading before the games was Animal Farm. Plot…
I was not expecting this at all, and did not see the news before someone on the French SFOS Users Telegram channel mentioned it: Commodore is releasing a flip phone that will run Sailfish OS! . You can read more at the above link, but this got me excited - while I'm waiting for my Jolla Phone to arrive! What sets it apart (in addition to running Sailfish OS) is that it does not ship with a browser…
Context The last RIPE meeting I attended was RIPE 89 in Prague, in October 2024. Back then I was still at F5, but now with a new job (still in DNS), it was time to attend a new one! This time in Edinburgh, and even though we had some rain, we also had some lovely weather, as you can see: DNS Session I attended the DNS Working Group on Thursday, with the following talks: "DNS, Transitive Trust and…
Context Alright, I'm super late for this report, since I ran this race on December 21st, 2025! Also, I didn't take any picture, so you'll have to bear with me with text only this time! The Race I wanted to run a shorter race, after the Nice 55k and the Trail des Maures 100k , running something around 30k felt just right. I found this race: 35k, 850m of elevation, and 1h driving from home - which…
Contexte Un autre cadeau de Noël, qui en général tombe bien car les nouveaux albums de Blake et Mortimer sortent en général en fin d'année. L'Histoire Conçu comme une suite à L'Enigme de l'Atlantide, l'un des tous premiers albums de Blake et Mortimer (que je ne pense pas avoir lu, ni posséder) - on y rencontre à nouveau le peuple des Atlantes. Mon avis Un très bon cru, l'histoire est bien ficelée…
I know, small victory! So far, in order to have my X1 go to sleep when closing the lid, I had an alias that did: nc_sleep='i3lock && doas zzz' This was a small annoyance, so I spent 30 minutes to fix it. Turns out it was easy! I just had to add an entry (e.g. lid.conf ) in /etc/devd : notify 100 { match "system" "ACPI"; match "subsystem" "Lid"; match "notify" "0x01"; action "/usr/sbin/acpiconf -s…
Context As usual, before a new Sailfish OS version gets released, contributors are asked to translate the new entries or updating existing ones. I am the "moderator" for French language, so that gives a good indication of what this new version will bring. This time, a lot of people helped translating, so I mostly had to validate or tweak a bit the translations, which took me roughly 90 minutes…
I recently received this email from RIPE NCC: It's your probe's birthday ! Dear Nico, To celebrate your probe's birthday, we are giving you 7442696 credits to use for scheduling your own measurements. In the last 12 years, your probe was connected for 62.020000% of the time. Happy measuring and thank you on behalf of everyone at the RIPE NCC and the other RIPE Atlas users. That's an amusing…
Context YES , this gig happened a while ago, and I didn't take time to write about it before. This was my first Radiohead gig in 9 years, the last one being in Amsterdam in 2016, so to say that I was excited would clearly be an understatement. Also, I went with my elder son, who was discovering Radiohead on stage for the first time. Getting Tickets A lot has been written on this: Radiohead decided…
