C’est le cheval de bataille des groupes politiques et associatifs depuis toujours et un bon vieux dĂ©mon qu’on aime haĂŻr tout en refusant d’avouer qu’on en a tous consommĂ© : la pornographie.

Introduction Il y a un mal qui me semble trĂšs français, c’est celui de l’auto flagellation dĂ©faitiste. On se plaint constamment que nous n’avons pas de “insĂ©rez un service Web ici souverain” en opposition aux gĂ©ants du Web qui dominent avec toutes leurs suites logicielles fournies bien souvent gratuitement (en l’Ă©change de toute votre vie).

RĂ©flexions autour de CentOS Cela n’a pas Ă©chappĂ© au monde du logiciel libre ces derniĂšres semaines, l’annonce de Red Hat arrĂȘtant le dĂ©veloppement de CentOS (le repacking gratuit de RHEL) au profit de CentOS Stream (la branche qui se veut upstream de RHEL) a provoquĂ© un raz de marĂ©e de rĂ©actions plus ou moins virulentes.
