Ce qui est bien avec les amis du Collimateur @alexjubelin.bsky.social et @josephhenrotin1.bsky.social, c'est qu'ils font un gros effort pour trouver des titres rigolos et compenser (un peu) la WTF-itude de ce dont ils ont à parler.
Premier épisode du format Zone d'opérations du Collimateur où @alexjubelin.bsky.social et @josephhenrotin1.bsky.social reviennent sur l'action américaine au #Venezuela mais aussi sur les perspectives de la guerre d'Ukraine pour 2026.

I really love this quote from Daniel Stenberg: "AI does not replace humans - it clearly makes some humans more productive while some other humans get more destructive."

Ah ben m… alors 😁
2026 ?
2+26 = 28
2026-28 = 1 998
1998 divisé par 3 (cotés du triangle illuminati) = 666
Bonne chance à nous tous.

There are really motivated folks in the GeoGuessr community, and I love it.
See for example www.plonkit.net/kazakhstan: there is an entry for EVERY mapped road that helps you identify whether you're on it. And it's only one of the zillions of 🤯 pieces of information all elite players know...

The explanation of the CloudFlare outage (blog.cloudflare.com/18-november-...) is interesting.
This happened because someone forgot to protect themselves from "the impossible" - we all know there's no such thing at scale.

So I spent quite some time understanding why docker compose had trouble pushing stuff to docker.io from my EC2 instance... I'm pretty sure it was Cloudflare !
