@FreePro Comment je fais pour contacter votre service client pour activer une carte SIM quand votre site est KO depuis plusieurs heures et que l’IA au téléphone renvoie inlassablement vers votre site ?

I’ve written a rather long article about my Git workflow. Find it here: https://t.co/FxjLjrUckY

Pour #Paris2024, est-ce qu’on ne pourrait pas utiliser le calendrier révolutionnaire pour les dates des épreuves ? Et le temps décimal ? Après le bonnet phrygien, ce serait l’occasion de faire rayonner la science française à travers le monde !

[Jean-Philippe Cugnet @ejpcmac]

@bitshiftmask Got it from the beginning, but with the French pronounciation it is easy to get.

[Jean-Philippe Cugnet @ejpcmac]

This is one of the aspects which makes me really like NixOS: this easiness to change anything in the system, in a reproducible and shareable way.

This, plus the ease of configuring the services and maintain them.

[locked-mutex deallocator @leftpaddotpy]

@a_hoverbear EXACTLY THIS. the fact that I can in principle just go fix arbitrarily deep parts of the system means that my fucking-computer-that-doesn't-work is at least not disempowering

the thing where you can patch stuff better and way more shareably than gentoo? like. holy shit!

[Jean-Philippe Cugnet @ejpcmac]

I am seriously thinking of switching at least my last-name domain on a third-party provider, but this goes against the philosophy of a decentralised internet.

I’ve been self-hosting all my email for a bit less than ten years now, and I’ve seen them decreasingly delivered, despite keeping up with the configuration requirements and having 10/10 on several mail testers.

[Carlos Fenollosa @cfenollosa]

After self-hosting my email for twenty-three years I have thrown in the towel 😩

Email is now an oligopoly, a service gatekept by a few big companies which does not follow the principles of net neutrality.

[Jean-Philippe Cugnet @ejpcmac]

This is a bit exhausting, when interoperating with others using an open protocol should not be that hard, time and energy-consuming.

Especially since I now host also several family emails on my server, this is getting a bigger issue when important emails are not delivered.

[Zach Edwards @thezedwards]

Twitter apparently used their cookies for "all purposes" (security cookies used for advertising) ++ once told by the French CNIL to change this, they kept it on purposefully for another month "in order to extract maximum profit from French users before rolling out the fix." 😅🫥

[MG @_MG_]

Did anyone at Twitter’s PR team do any research on who @dotMudge is before choosing their “retaliation” defense?!

Also, buried in this coverage is that their now-CEO wanted to comply with Putin.

Aller-retour Caen <-> Paris avec carte de réduction :

- il y a 6 mois : 28€
- aujourd’hui : 60,10€

C’est plus du double !

Comment est-ce possible @SNCF ?

Pendant ce temps @RegionNormandie maintient ses tarifs, le prix du Caen <-> Lisieux restant inchangé.

[FerrousSystems @FerrousSystems]

Today, we are happy to present a big effort coming out of our work to qualify the Rust compiler to the highest levels of assurances: The Ferrocene Specification, a detailed description of the Rust compilers behaviour, acting as our requirements document.

@FGRibreau Ça me rappelle cet article : https://t.co/F58RnbbDUZ

[Jean-Philippe Cugnet @ejpcmac]

If I’m free this week-end, it will be the occasion to deploy a Pleroma or Mastodon instance on my server.

[Jean-Philippe Cugnet @ejpcmac]

Yes, probably as open as Tesla cars.

[Bryan Cantrill @bcantrill]

Now that this platform is being bought by a freedom maximalist, does this mean we can expect a free and open Twitter API?

[Luke Wren @[email protected] @wren6991]

I think there is a strong argument that a buffer should be called an OT gate 🤔

[Jean-Philippe Cugnet @ejpcmac]

@SNCF, y a-t-il quelque-chose à faire pour pouvoir voyager librement (et libre de toute surveillance) en train dans notre beau pays ? (cc @laquadrature) On me suggère de prendre la voiture. Pas très écolo (et je n’en n’ai pas, par choix).

[Jean-Philippe Cugnet @ejpcmac]

Aujourd’hui j’ai fait une petite expérience #vieprivée : acheter des billets de train pour un week-end en dehors de ma région, sans donner d’informations personnelles à la @SNCF. Pas évident. Au guichet, je ne suis pas très bien accueilli lorsque je refuse de donner mon nom. 🧵

[Jean-Philippe Cugnet @ejpcmac]

L’agent @SNCF s’occupant de la vente justifie celà par la lutte contre la fraude. Je pense que ça les arrange bien, également, de pouvoir tracer les habitudes de leur clients. Pourtant, contrairement à Google, leur service est payant. C’est donc l’argent ET les données.
