Dans le but de promouvoir la décentralisation des données personnelles et l’usage de logiciels open source, je propose un hébergement de divers services utiles. Ces services sont basés sur du code libre et déployés sur des systèmes libres également.

Je suis un particulier, et dans la mesure de mes capacités, j’essaye toujours de fournir des services à ma famille et à mes amis proches en remplacement de services non libres fournis par les géants du web. J’ai décidé de faire le nécessaire pour étendre ces services à un public plus large, avec pour but de conserver une qualité suffisante.

The 2022 update to our famous Hive Systems Password Table that’s been shared across the internet, social media, the news, and organizations worldwide. So what’s new, and what’s our methodology behind it?

Unenforceable Contracts: What to Watch Out For

What kinds of contracts might not hold up in court?

Since a contract is a legally binding agreement, in the typical scenario, once you enter into a contract with another person or business, you and the other party are both expected to fulfill the terms of the contract. But it's possible for an otherwise valid contract to be found unenforceable in the eyes of the law, and this article looks at some common situations where that might be the case. //

Contracts can be found unenforceable on grounds of public policy not only to protect one of the parties involved, but also because what the contract represents could pose harm to society as a whole. For example, a court will never enforce a contract promoting something already against state or federal law (you can never enforce a contract for an illegal marijuana sale) or an agreement that offends the "public sensibilities" (contracts involving some sort of sexual immorality, for example).

Server auction

Server hardware can be reused even if a product is terminated. This is reasonable in terms of both economic and ecological aspects. Benefit from this advantage.

The server auction not only markets standardized server systems such as those found in our product portfolio but also customized systems that were adapted to customer requirements in the past. Therefore automatic image installers, special software images, the vKVM or other software systems are not possible. To ensure a seamless installation and functionality, the server is delivered in the rescue system.

Magic Roundabout: Circumnavigating the World’s Most Complex Intersection - 99% Invisible
thumbnail

Swindon, England, is home to what may be the most confusing-looking intersection ever created:  the world’s first “magic roundabout” (also known as a “ring junction”).

The complex interchange actually consists of five separate smaller roundabouts supporting clockwise traffic, all situated around one larger central roundabout that runs counterclockwise.

Despite its frightening appearance, this configuration is far more efficient than the conventional single-ring roundabout. It has been adapted to create other ring junctions around Britain.

HASSELBLAD IN SPACE

Hasselblad and NASA’s journey together began in 1962 during the Mercury program. Prospective NASA astronaut and photography enthusiast Walter Schirra had his own Hasselblad 500C with a Planar f/2.8, 80mm lens. Knowing the high quality of the Hasselblad camera, Schirra suggested to NASA that they use a Hasselblad to document space since the previous camera model utilised delivered disappointing results. After buying a few 500Cs, a weight-loss program followed including removal of its leather covering, auxiliary shutter, reflex mirror, and viewfinder. A new film magazine was constructed in order to allow for 70 exposures instead of the usual 12. Finally, a matte black outer paint job minimized reflections in the window of the orbiter. The streamlined Hasselblad would find itself in the payload for Mercury 8 (MA-8) in October 1962. The successful, high quality images that Schirra captured across his six orbits of the Earth would spark a new chapter in the history of Hasselblad and a long, close and mutually beneficial cooperation between the American space agency and the Swedish camera manufacturer.

One Man’s Quest to Draw 900,000 Buildings in New York City : The Art of Non-Conformity

It’s difficult to pin down the exact number of buildings in New York City. One source estimates 860,000, another source pins the number at 1,053,713. Whatever the number, we’ll know eventually, thanks to Australian-born James Gulliver Hancock, who has made it his mission to draw every single one of them.

Here’s his story:

When I moved to New York City, I really wanted to get to know Manhattan better, beyond a traditional tourist experience. New York was my new home, and I needed a way to understand it. Drawing every building is my version of a diary of my experience in the city—and it doubles as my own personal map. When I walk by the buildings I’ve drawn, it’s like seeing old friends.

If I’d set out to draw all the best buildings or all the brick ones, I’d wind up having that tourist experience I was trying to avoid. I really like the concept of just all the buildings. By concentrating on the city at large, I get to embrace all the fun buildings between the famous ones, like a crumbling brownstone or that weird falling-apart one I pass every day. Going all out provides me with a more realistic view of the city.

I’m actually not sure how many buildings there are in New York City. The number 900,000 comes up a lot though. I draw, on average, four buildings in a week, so it’s a long-term project to be sure. [Editor’s note: By our tally, this means James is about 1,100 buildings in. Maybe he’ll pick up the pace!]
