If my 2006 laptop lasts as long as my other machines – if it runs for another 1.7 years – it will have cost me only 26 euros per year. That’s more than 10 times less than the cost of my previous laptops. In this article, I explain my motivation for not buying any more new laptops, and how you could do the same.
Most of the 160-200 million laptops sold each year are replacement purchases. The average laptop is replaced every 3 years (in business) to five years (elsewhere).
The magical SD-card
I have all my data on a 128 GB SD-card, which I can plug into any of the Thinkpads that I own. I then make monthly backups of the SD-card, which I store on an external storage medium, as well as regular backups of the documents that I am working on, which I temporarily store on the drive of the laptop that I am working on. This has proven to be very reliable, at least for me: I have stopped losing work due to computer problems and insufficient backups.
The other advantage is that I can work on any laptop that I want and that I’m not dependent on a particular machine to access my work. You can get similar advantages when you keep all your data in the cloud, but the SD-card is the more sustainable option, and it works without internet access.
TL;DR: There are three options to fix an NPM dependency:
- Open a bug ticket on the repository of the maintainer
- Fork & Fix
- Create a patch and fix it
J'avais tendance à privilégier la 2e solution, mais elle a l’inconvénient de créer une dépendance à github.com au moment du build, ce qui n'est pas toujours pratique dans un contexte d'entreprise... patch-package peut donc s'avérer bien pratique dans ce cas
P'tites sorcières (site officiel) est un jeu de rôle gratuit d’Antoine Bauza, conçu et publié sur Internet entre 2001 et 2004, il y a donc déjà 20 ans environ !

Experience hype-filled dueling! Shoot, block, and jump your way to victory with your shotgun-rocket-launcher-that-shoots-heat-seeking-bouncy-missiles or one of the other over 11.2 million different powerup combinations.
We spent almost an entire afternoon on this game with a friend!
It's great. The visual remind me a bit of Ape Out.
The gameplay mixes skillful twin- stick platformer-shooter with crucial powerup choices.
Those choices balance the game and let players craft their own tactic for the match, by combining them.
Note: we initially played it with one player using a XBox controller, and the other keyboard + mouse, but that made the game very unbalanced. Better use 2 controllers.
Parody demake prototype of Gears of War, sort of like a gallery shooter.
It's very short (<10min) but I liked playing it with a friend!
A local two-player fighting game about swords, soul-theft, and everything in between.
A bit like Nidhogg, but with very basic visuals & game mechanics (slightly different than Nidhogg though, it's interesting) by the author of Ape Out, and free!
Healing Spree is a tongue-in-cheek hospital simulator featuring co-op for up to 4 players. Play as doctors on call to diagnose, help, and treat as many patients as humanly possible while maintaining your sanity AND friendships!
It's really like OverCooked, only a bit messier, but the demo is currently free!

La communauté du logiciel libre peut-elle se constituer en entité politique qui réfléchit, au-delà du logiciel, sur la société dans son ensemble ? Peut-elle se confronter aux orthodoxies productivistes, au développement infini de la puissance de calcul ? Tout le passé indique le contraire. Son succès, pourtant, en dépend.
Alors aujourd'hui je vais vous causer un peu plus en détails du sujet. Pas d'un point de vue technique, parce que le point de vue technique, on s'en fout. En fait, justement : je vais vous causer de pourquoi, à mon humble avis, on s'en fout, de cet aspect technique.
Libervia est un outil tout-en-un pour gérer tous vos besoins en communication: messagerie instantanée, (micro)blogage, partage de fichiers, albums photo, événements, forums, gestion de tâches, etc.

Petit focus sur un artiste que j'adore : Elliot Jolivet aka Tenseï.
Ses influences proviennent de la science-fiction (Star Wars, Blade Runner, Dune...), de la bande-dessinée (Mike Mignola, Ben Templesmith, Tsutomu Nihei, Juanjo Guarnido...) et du jeu vidéo (Piotr Jablonski, la Team Ico, Alexandre Chaudret...).

I recently discovered some really beautiful pieces of generative art on r/generative.
In the same spirit as a precedent article on glitch art, I want to share some of my favorites:

TL;DR version of lessons from the post:
- Writing open source software can be very rewarding in ways you can’t predict
- Be in it for the long haul
- Ship it and ship regularly
- Have broad, open-ended goals
- If you care enough, you’ll find the time
- No one cares about your unit test coverage
- There’s no shame in marketing
- Clear it with your employer
- Foster community
- Keep it enjoyable
