• Distributions and Operating Systems

  • BSD

    • DragonFly BSD Digest ☛ Lazy Reading for 2024/12/01

      No theme but some new-to-me topics. Great Impractical Ideas in Computer Science: PowerPoint Programming.  (via) The Monstrome.   A Monster Manual. FriendlyStack Reminder, a hardware implementation of Post-It Notes. Tetris Forever, a game and a documentary at the same time.

  • Debian Family

    • Charles: Hello World

      Or how it took more than a year for me to set up this website -

      As the computer science tradition demands, we must start with a Hello World. Though I have to say this hello world took quite a long time to reach the internet.

  • Openness/Sharing/Collaboration

    • Open Data

      • [Repeat] Rlang ☛ Codes postaux

        This data, although not a “real” administrative limit, is often used in many different applications, see for example the BNV-D.

        There is no free, up-to-date, layer of polygon boundaries for french postal codes.
