After 4 weeks using exclusively Gnash as flash player, I have switched back to Adobe® Flash™ Player. Though I had found workarounds for major video sites (including Youtube and DailyMotion), I have had a lot of issues with musical websites, most of them being still designed in Flash™. To use Adobe® Flash™ Player on my

Adobe® recently announced they have (temporarily) stopped working on the amd64 version of their Flash™ Player for GNU/Linux. The previous releases contain a big security issue, which makes them totally unusable.

Today, I have finally permanently deleted my Facebook account. I have followed Matt Zimmerman’s procedure, and it seems everything went well. Now, I just need to not login to Facebook over the next 14 days, which shouldn’t be a problem at all (my last connection was something like 2 or 3 months ago!). My aim

I have now finished converted most of the packages I maintain (part of the official archive or not) to the new 3.0 (quilt) source format. I first had to switch from dpatch or cdbs’ simple-patchsys to quilt, which was easy thanks to Romain Francoise’s old blog post. Also note this quick adaptation for cdbs: for

The HADOPI II law was finally adopted on September the 15th by the Assemblée Nationale. Guess what? My local representative, who wrote recently a very nice letter against this project, voted in favor of this law. This is not a real surprise, as it has also happened with the HADOPI I law last May, but

I have received an official letter from my local representative, in which he sums up the recent events in the area of the HADOPI law. I will only quote the following parts of his letter, referring to the amendments proposed to this law, following to the partial censure of the Constitutional Council: [...] ce qui
