(#vjop7ga) Thanks @bender@twtxt.net! Yeah, so super cute. I couldn’t pet them, though. Despite very curious, they were also very restless.

I persuaded my dad to check out the fireflies with me tonight. He only wanted to go for a short trip, so we came just across a couple hundred of them. Otherwise, the thousands mark would have been exceeded in no time. He was super glad I talked him into that. :-)

It was also my first time to see them over the meadows. Those numbers don’t compare to the ones inside the forest, no question, but we probably saw 60 or so. Haven’t come across them there before, I only heard and read about that.

Note to future-Lyse next year: Leaving at 21:45 seems like a good time. We left earlier and had to wait just a few more minutes for them to come out in masses.

Too bad it’s impossible to share photos or videos. My camera isn’t made for that at all, not even close.

They’re all talks, not real hands-on trainings like you did.

I love listening to good, well-structured talks. Problem is, not everybody is a good speaker and many screw it up. đŸ„Ž I’m certainly not a great speaker, which is why I gravitate more towards “workshops”, in the hopes that people ask questions and discussions arise. Doesn’t always work out. đŸ€Ł At the very least, I almost always have some other person connect to the projector/beamer/screenshare and then they do the stuff – this avoids me being wwwwaaaaaaaaayyyy too fast.

We are usually drowned in stress and tight deadlines, hence events like today are super rare 
 We used to do it more often until ~10 years ago.

Once a year the security guys organize a really great hacking event, though.

Oh dear, I’d love to participate in that. đŸ€Ż That sounds like a lot of fun. (Why don’t we do this?!)

I did a “lecture”/“workshop” about this at work today. 16-bit DOS, real mode. đŸ’Ÿ Pretty cool and the audience (devs and sysadmins) seemed quite interested. đŸ„ł

  • People used the Intel docs to figure out the instruction encodings.
  • Then they wrote a little DOS program that exits with a return code and they used uhex in DOSBox to do that. Yes, we wrote a COM file manually, no Assembler involved. (Many of them had never used DOS before.)
  • DEBUG from FreeDOS was used to single-step through the program, showing what it does.
  • This gets tedious rather quickly, so we switched to SVED from SvarDOS for writing the rest of the program in Assembly language. nasm worked great for us.
  • At the end, we switched to BIOS calls instead of DOS syscalls to demonstrate that the same binary COM file works on another OS. Also a good opportunity to talk about bootloaders a little bit.
  • (I think they even understood the basics of segmentation in the end.)

The 8086 / 16-bit real-mode DOS is a great platform to explain a lot of the fundamentals without having to deal with OS semantics or executable file formats.

Now that was a lot of fun. đŸ„ł It’s very rare that we do something like this, sadly. I love doing this kind of low-level stuff.

j’ai un souci avec mon nouveau routeur : depuis mon rĂ©seau local, lorsque je veux rejoindre mon serveur via son ip publique, ça me renvoie sur le routeur et ne redirige pas vers la DMZ comme ça le fait lorsque je suis en dehors du LAN. Des idĂ©es? C’est un zyxel

À la fin de mes Ă©valuations, j’aime bien y mettre une petite #quote. Celle d’aujourd’hui c’est : Si ça ne marche plus, je le rĂ©pare. Si je sais pas le rĂ©parer, j’apprends. Si ça n’existe pas, je le crĂ©e. Si je ne sais pas comment crĂ©er, j’expĂ©rimente. SolĂšne Rapenne, experte informatique  (1989 – )

LevĂ© Ă  6h. Maison rangĂ©e. LitiĂšre lavĂ©e. Les pois chiche de la semaine cuisent doucement. L’air frais entre dans la maison. CafĂ©, brioche, les bulletins semestriels avancent bien, plus que 3 classes. C’est fou comme on est efficace quand tout le monde dort :). Je parie qu’il y a une corrĂ©lation entre le sommeil des autres et l’efficacitĂ© au travail

next up: authentication center / for both work & personal use.
for the work project, the customers (of my client) are unhappy with the account login flow and I need a fast & easy SSO for them.

for personal use: just a gateway to lock all the apps and provide access to friends.

i slowly realize the power of 1% everyday on what i am doing.

deployed #appwrite in production to build backend for a product i have in mind for a while. 😄

feel free to ask me for an acount if you’re building an application, i can host your little project at the early stage.

i support #foss & fellow developers.
