Just under a year ago, I quit Facebook. Yup. After a decade of using it frequently, with over 10,000 posts and 7,000 pictures. It was the best decision I made. The original premise of Facebook has always appealed to me: connect with others you know in real life, but online, in order to share pictures and information to keep current. But it also has a lot of negatives:

With the release of Blender 2.8 I went back to messing around with graphics. I would like to be able to replicate some of the, already existing, effects. Nothing fancy. Nothing new. At the same time looking… good! I also would like to explain the process to learn and improve. Lets look at a text with some scanlines. The scene is pretty basic, text object and a scaled cube with an array modifier. Both objects have their own ..

My NAS sits there quietly doing it's job most of the time. However, recently I needed to troubleshoot a cron that appeared not to be running, so went looking for log entries. Turns out Debian 8's default behaviour was to send cron loglines to journald only (i.e. no passthrough to rsyslog). To make matters worse, there's no journal rotation set up by default, so the loglines go back _months_ and JournalD is hysterically bad at actually g..

V nadväznosti na predcházdajúci článok, už nejaký čas sa v onkológii propaguje a ospevuje nechemoterapeutická liečba rakoviny v podobe imunoterapie, ktorá je inak veľmi málo účinná a to v úzkej skupine pacientov. Samozrejme, keďže je pacientom lekármi sľúbená vysoká úspešnosť, pýtaju na na náš názor. K zvýšenému záujmu o ňu prispel aj nadávny, nový odborný […]

Gergely Orosz has some great advice for professional networking, for people who don’t do networking well. “A surprisingly efficient networking method I found was doing cold reach-outs to more experienced software engineers, offering to buy them coffee or lunch. In exchange, I asked them to share their advice ... What I did not expect was this approach to be far more valuable than just a one-off networking session. In all cases, I had fa..

Who am I? I’m Jean-Baptiste Doyon, but everyone calls me Jb (sounds like “G-Bay” in French). Across many misinterpretations, it evolved into the online handle Jiby (my French friends make it sound like the English initialism for Great Britain ), giving the domain name of this website. While I’m natively French, originally from a town near Nice, I moved across Europe a few times for my studies before settling in Edinburgh, Scotland.

With the recent Pocketcast PR blunder I finally decided to jump back to open source Antennapod. This has been painless especially with the introduction of the Remove silence feature, the main feature that kept me with Pocketcasts for so long. The only issue I had was a Private feed with broken cover artwork, this was frustrating but it looks to be an issue on Patreons end. Thankfully Node Red is available to rescue the situation! ....

Today I get to spend some more time on one of my favorite topics, the vehicles you use to get the gear you pack to the places you want to go . I outlined the process that led to my 4Runner in Choosing an Adventure Rig , and today I want to talk about its loadout. In the first part of this article, I will talk about the gear that stays in my vehicle full-time; in the second, I will outline a basic packing list for a typical adventure. ..

Amazingly enough, git is now 14 years old . What started out as Linus Torvald's 'three day' replacement for BitKeeper is now dominant enough in its domain that even the Windows Kernel is hosted on git. (If you really are amazed by the age of git, that last bit might be even more amazing.) In any event, I also use git and have done so for close to ten years. Along with a compiler and an editor, I'd consider it one of the three esse....

You know what smoke testing is, right? Yes! Great, I also thought I knew, as did a colleague of mine. The problem: each of us had a different interpretation of the meaning. As mentioned in my article, visualization and prioritization of technical debt, analogies can significantly help with grasping abstract concepts. This is where a term like “Smoke Testing” can come in handy, as long as everyone involved has the same understanding of the ..

Welcome to my website! This blog is meant to record some of the thoughts I keep coming back to, or discussions I’ve had over and over again with different people. My rule of thumb for inclusion here is “if you’ve had to say it more than twice, it’s time to write it down”. See the About page for my background and motivations. Look forward more posts as I try to condense my thoughts in written form.

Note: This is more a stream of consciousness than a blog post. It’s not detailed and mainly for my own memory on how to set this up. Be cautious. So I’ve recently built a new home server/lab and wanted to use some of it’s power to run my daily dev stuff. I’ve been playing a bit with VSCode Remote for Containers which lets you define you dev environment as a container and commit it along with your code… it’s super nice.

Out of all the topics I want to tackle here, I feel most excited to talk about adventuring. Although my passion for it all but died out in high school, after seven moves in as many years, it reignited in college: when I had to decide whether my profession would be the anchor that kept me stationary or the means to a nomadic lifestyle down the road, I chose the latter. This choice has informed every major decision I have made since then, and..

Stewart Brand, with a fascinating look at the results of conservation efforts amidst cries that the sky is falling: “The trends are favourable.

The ecologist Stuart Pimm at Duke University in North Carolina claims that conservationists have..
