Schtroumpfons la tentative de record du plus grand rassemblement de Schtroumpfs à Landerneau

Ils sont fous ces Bretons, ou d’une insupportable légèreté, à l’heure où les esprits sont tout sauf à la fête ? Sabrina Champenois salue cet élan collectif. Billet :
Schtroumpfons la tentative de record du plus grand rassemblement de Schtroumpfs à Landerneau
La commune du Finistère va tenter, ce samedi 17 mai, de battre son homologue allemande de Lauchringen, qui avait rassemblé 2 762 lutins bleus en 2019. Une parenthèse carnavalesque bienvenue.

For the past while J-P at @newae.com has been working on a major #ChipWhisperer doc refactor - this is now live, check out chipwhisperer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/in... . It moves software, hardware, and even some tricks/tips all into once place using Jupyter Books. Huge improvement in usability!
