Hello, hello 🙂. Thanks for clicking on this article 😁, for the record, it will be less condensed than the last one, this week, we're going softer 😛. Basically, I'm not familiar with Powershell, I'm more in the world of penguins and all that... but a few months ago, I had to work with Powershell ... and Linux. Today, I'd like to tell you a little about my experience of this adventure, take this article as a little story from a guy who didn't know Powershell, but...

New week, new article! How are you? The wife? The kids? The goldfish? (is the goldfish important?) This week we're going to try and figure out what the padlock in your browser's address bar means, so yes on this site there is one (there, I've just saved you the trouble of looking up to check). Naaaaaa but don't go away, it's an interesting subject! promise?. Before you start I'm redirecting you to the "asymmetric encryption" paragraph of my article on ransomware, because there's no p...

Ah Docker! I've been hearing about it for years, but like many people (I think) I hadn't yet taken the plunge. I'd read several articles on this technology, and even looked at the official documentation to try and tweak a few things, but it was still too vague for me. First of all, what is Docker? It's (almost) magic in the sense that you don't need to worry about your server configuration, your OS or your version of PHP, Node, React ... in short. You just code on your machine, and miracu...

Hello and thank you for clicking on this article! Some time ago I told you about my nuclear disaster, the super adventure of a server that suddenly shuts down and gives no sign of life. Recently I received an email from my service provider saying "Please note that your Ubuntu version will soon no longer be supported. You should upgrade to 22.04 minimum". Well, even if this email seems nicer, I still had a feeling of déjà vu of my server getting lost in the cosmic uni...

Hello ?, This week's article is based on something that happened to me recently. During an Ubuntu server update, it seems that the bind9 package, after the update, started to crash after a while. The problem is that on this machine, I need DNS resolution, as it hosts services that need to complicate with other online services like Stripe. So I end up with a call informing me that when it comes to entering the bank card on this Symfony application, well, it doesn't display the form reques...

Hey there 😁, Thanks for clicking on this article, it's changing a bit, but I hope you like it 🙂. This week, we're going to talk about social networks, well especially one, it's LinkedIn, many of you read me on the blog, but some of you are on LinkedIn.... Basically, this article was also intended for Twitter (they say you have to say X now), but on X, there's no problem, the algorithm doesn't seem to limit the reach of tweets containing a link (according to my research)...

Hello and thank you for clicking on this article 😁 Today we're going to talk about experimental code that I've been interested in recently. To contextualize, I finished a PHP course for a promo I had as a trainer. Once we'd seen the basics and got to the end of the program, we naturally moved on to the MVC and object-oriented aspects of implementing a project in native PHP. It was at this point that I asked myself the question of how to implement a router in a project of this t...

Ah, updates! You must see dozens of them every day. It's time-consuming, it's inconvenient, if they're launched when you're busy (hello Windows?). But then... Yes. But it's important. An update is never done by chance, and its main purpose is to correct bugs and, above all, security flaws. "What do you mean? You're developers and you don't code properly? " It's a little more complicated than that. Indeed, even if the error remains human, flaws generally occur AFTER a product has bee...

Hi there 😁, Thank you for clicking on this article, I hope you enjoy it, despite its very "niche" nature.... But hey, this adventure happened to me in December 2024, so I figured I'd make an article out of it. Are you ready? Let's get started! What is a label printer (Zebra)? Without realizing it, you use them every day. For example, on your packages ordered online, there are labels. These self-adhesive labels are created using a label printer. The one I'm most familia...
