  • It takes me about 15min before being able to understand the canadian accent and stop trying to recognize every words. That requires a lot of concentration to decipher each words. During my first meeting with Canadians, we had to switch back to English has it was easier to understand.

    It’s like when you talk to an old farmer lost in the middle of nowhere and you need subtitles to understand the words. That requires practice!




  • For me, it was the parity system and the fact that i could mix different disk sizes and the vm + graphic card pass-through setup. Unraid helped me to start in this world.

    Years later, after gaining experience on all of that and investing in dedicated pcie card and disks, I’ve moved to truenas my data and containers.

    Still using unraid for the vm part. But i plan to migrate to truenas too at some point.



  • Note que ce vélo et les appareils connectés devront être sur un réseau électrique séparé (donc coût supplémentaire) car la gestion de la fréquence du courant (les fameux 50Hz) est primordiale pour pouvoir le réinjecter sur un réseau elec standard. Et cet équipement coûte cher.

    Rajoute aussi les pertes dans l’équation (chute de tension, résistance des câbles, perte d’énergie pendant les conversions / lissage du courant, qualité des connecteurs, etc), il est probable que ton calcul soit déjà bien optimiste.

    Fun fact pour finir: notre fréquence électrique actuelle est rigoureusement la même que l’on soit au fin fond de la France ou dans le reste de l’Europe, nos pays étant électriquement interconnecté. Et tout ça est dynamique et évolue à chaque instant, le réseau devant s’adapter chaque fois que l’on allume un appareil.








  • I don’t know for you but, by default, all our ISP box here broadcast an “open” SSID that allows any customers of this ISP to login with their ISP credentials on the ISP box around them (except if the customers switch off this function). That allow a customer with a dead box or in travel to still have internet. (traffic is of course segregated).

    So if you know the ISP brand via the IP range and find a isolated home with this provider ssid visible, you found the address of the IP. Again that work only with low number of houses or not often use ISP.

    Connect for me is not connected like a logon but more in term of network connection (pinged).


  • Depends of where you lives. if you have only 1 house per km² around you and your isp box provide predictable SSID name, you could be easily found as the ip range is per provider.

    Google street cars capture also the wifi network around them when taking street photos.

    And getting your ip can connect the people directly to your box. A trace route command to this IP could return intermediate equipment of your isp, helping to pinpoint your town or even your street.




  • Last time USA attached Iraq, the instability generated in the region boosted ISIS and created terrorist attacks waves in Europe, killing hundreds (on top of all the dead people directly impacted in the country attacked of course).

    So cool, here we go again thanks to the US people who are not fucking able to use their brain when voting.

    In cliché world yeah… But in reality, not so much. 😀

    It been years… no… decades that smoking have nearly disappeared around me - including in the office.

    I work with hundreds of people and the amount of people smoking can fit one hand. 25 years ago, i needed more than 2 hands to count them. And in my family, nobody starting at my parents generation and younger smokes.

    Same story with wine during lunch. 25 years ago, it was several bottles each day at lunches.

    Today, no more wine bottle and the trend started since easily 15 years now. Only for big occasion and the quantity have decreased a lot.

    People drink more beers now. But far less than wine.

    I see your point now. If you focus on the “republic” creation, yes. USA is older than France republic by few years.

    But, please, don’t tell me the original writer had that in mind. He/she is talking about nation. And, for example, a monarchy (our previous gouvernement state beforethe first republic) is a valid nation definition.
