J'ai eu la même il y a des années (dans un Intermarché), gasoil dans un moteur essence (alors que, et le ticket me l'a confirmé, c'était bien une pompe SP95). Pas de grosse casse, mais une immobilisation et un clean du moteur.

Et même avec le ticket, c'est improuvable : qui dit que tu n'as pas fait le plein à plusieurs endroits?

Note que ça ne justifie pas une agression, quand même.

For what it's worth, that same github user already reverse-engineered the game : https://github.com/skynettx/raptor and this one should be able to compile on modern platforms.

There is probably a story behind the source release, I wonder what it is...

why not? (haven't seen any myself, tbh)

En 2014, on a eu la riche idée de fusionner le Nord-Pas-de-Calais avec la Picardie. Pourquoi pas, sur le fond. Mais il a fallu nommer la nouvelle entité. Après une brève parenthèse "Nord-Pas-de-Calais-Picardie", on a finalement renommé la région "Hauts-de-France". Mais pourquoi diable?

Je passe sur le fait qu'on dirait un nom de zone résidentielle friquée en bordure d'une grande ville de province, mais pourquoi "hauts"? Entre la Flandre, le Santerre, la Plaine de France, le Soissonnais, ... ça doit être une des régions les plus basses de France, en moyenne, par rapport au niveau de la mer. Alors oui, sur une carte de France orientée au nord, c'est en haut de la carte. M'enfin des coins qu'on a qualifiés de "haut" parce qu'au nord, je n'en connais pas beaucoup.

Alors qu'au fond, un nom, on en avait un tout trouvé. Nord-Pas-de-Calais, c'était déjà un peu bâtard (mais exhaustif, pour une région qui contenait le département du Nord et celui de Pas-de-Calais). Mais la Picardie, en revanche, elle couvrait historiquement bien plus que la région du même nom. Et puis c'est un nom qui parle à l'international, beaucoup plus facile à vendre. Sans parler du fait que le picard est une langue assez répandue y compris sur la partie "non-picarde" du territoire (sous forme de ch'timi, notamment). Et ça aurait permis un peu d'économies en comm, la moitié du territoire résultant ne changeant pas de nom. Au pire, on faisait un "nouvelle Picardie", comme la nouvelle Aquitaine.

Alors effectivement, ça aurait voulu dire que la puissante région NPDC (coucou Martine) aurait lâché son nom en faveur de celui de la région adverse (coucou Xavier). Mais j'ose espérer que ça n'est pas le motif qui a empêché ce qui aurait semblé être un choix de raison.

What do you mean by specifications?

This was a few years back, and my memory isn't that great, but from I recall : Diaspora had a rather privileged childhood, in the form of a very successul kickstarter. And they basically were the cool kids back then, and as such they didn't follow any existing protocol (which, at that time, would have been either OStatus or XMPP, basically) and went their own way. Federation at that time wasn't that much of a hype, but still they (rightfully) felt it would be great to document their protocol, and they published (some sort of) specification.

At the same time, Friendica's author (which then went to built several other socialnetworking tools/platforms, as RedMatrix, Huzbilla, Zap, Zot, ...) spent some time trying to federate his tools (can't remember if it was Friendica or RedMatrix) with Diaspora. And was appalled by how unusable the specification was. From what I understood, at least.

It's been there much longer, for one thing. But from what I recall, it's been a mess specs-wise. I do especially remember Friendica/Zot's author despairing over how little they followed their own specifications. I'm not sure they're still relevant today

I'm trying to setup a community without pict-rs (and as such, without being able to host its pictures myself). I've been tinkering a bit with the API (through python clients, essentially), and I've found how to change my users's avatar to an URL, but not a community. On Lemmy.py, for instance, I have an update() method a community object, but it can't seem to modify anything...

Has anyone an idea? Thx

It's still alive (on alternative repos), but it still has glaring issues : as decentralized as it wants to be, it still relies on centralized services (or "zites", 0net's own lingo) to manage authentication, for instance.

For something that isn't too obvious (e.g. not hanged in a museum or anything), I often come back to that picture and it always move me, for some reason :

There are actually people (e.g. https://www.twitch.tv/andrewmccalip) who are currently trying to replicate this. But from what early (internet) experts said, even if it works, is replicable and legit, it wouldn't allow much current through it, about a quarter of amp. Still promising, but not as groundbreaking as initially put.

I once did that, after unexpectedly stumbling upon an old college friend of mine. We had a nice lunch, planned to have another one but didn't really scheduled it. Life did its trick, and we lost touch again.

Hot water, directly from the tap. Showers are clearly underrated.
