Je voulais comparer les ordres du jour des chaînes d’information. Savoir quelle place BFMTV, CNews, franceinfo et LCI donnent à la politique un mardi soir, ou si un sujet revient plus souvent ailleurs. La question paraît simple. Elle ne l’est pas. Un direct ne se laisse pas additionner : il faut le découper, le transcrire, classer des morceaux, puis décider comment les agréger. J’ai fini par construire SIGNAL. Le site publie des parts d’antenne, des écarts, des courbes. Derrière, il y a surtout une série de choix de calcul. C’est cette mécanique que je veux décrire ici. Pas la récupération des flux : la façon dont les chiffres sont fabriqués. ...

I run my gaming setup in Docker. More specifically, I use docker-steam-headless, which gives me a full Steam desktop, Sunshine, X11, GPU acceleration, and remote access through Moonlight. It works surprisingly well. I can stream my desktop or Steam Big Picture from a server to almost any device. But there was one annoying problem: resolution switching. I do not always connect from the same screen. Sometimes I use an ultrawide monitor. Sometimes a laptop. Sometimes a 16:10 display. Sometimes Moonlight is configured for 2560x1080, sometimes 2560x1600, sometimes 1920x1080. ...

A few months ago, I was woken up by the sound of my server’s fans screaming. It wasn’t a spike in traffic or a scheduled backup. It was a crypto-miner. Thanks to a Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability in Umami, someone had managed to turn my analytics server into a very inefficient Monero farm. I got lucky. The hacker was loud. I killed the container within minutes, and at ~10 kH/s they would have earned roughly 10 cents a day. Hardly worth the risk of being found and sued. But it left me with a cold realization: If they had been smart, they wouldn’t have mined crypto. They would have quietly exfiltrated my database. ...
