I’m still alive

On February 13, 2023 By Florent RevelutIn NewsLeave a comment

Due to popular demand (in my head; let's be honest: no one cares), I've decided to revive this website and start posting semi-regularly. Why? Many reasons: Twitter has been taken over by an egocentric maniac. It was one of my haven, and it's not any more. So I put my account in sleep mode, so …

Another Friday, another list of cool stuff that I've read this week (I know it's tuesday, let's pretend the week was long): Aputure released new lights. I have cheap chinese lights, I've been thinking for a long time about upgrading, I'm really struggling top not click "buy now" Sarah Maddox, who happens to be a …

Cool stuff Friday

A good friend of mine has this concept of "cool stuff day", which is a summary of stuff she read and liked and want to share. It can be in any direction, from tech paper to reddit posts. I read and watch lots of things online and I decided to steal the concept. Welcome to …

Crypto and kids

On January 21, 2019January 22, 2019 By Florent RevelutIn Hacking, NewsLeave a comment

I was nerd-sniped (reference from xkcd) by a colleague who wanted to do a cryptographic game for his kids, for a birthday party. The idea was to have a device to allow the kids to encrypt / decrypt a message Principle It's using the Caesar cipher, which is a simple shift cipher. It's super unsafe …

From a cheap crate to a treasure chest

On December 20, 2018 By Florent RevelutIn HackingLeave a comment

For my kids birthday, my wife wanted to organize a treasure hunt. The idea was to have a bunch of indices, that would eventually leading to getting 4 numbers, used to unlock a paddlock holding chains around a chest. While the idea seems sound, devils in the detail as we wanted the cost to be …

A nice plane story

On December 3, 2018 By Florent RevelutIn NewsLeave a comment

Yesterday (2018-12-02), I was on business trip to NYC, with Swiss (LX19). Due to late booking, I was in coach but managed to spend a whooping 50k Miles to get an upgrade into business (well worth it). I tend to prefer travelling light. This time, travelling light meant I was already carrying my phone, my …

Slick new design

On October 8, 2018October 10, 2018 By Florent RevelutIn NewsLeave a comment

My webpage got (once again) migrated. It is now hosted on wordpress.com, with supposedly the old content transfered. It's still a bit new and fresh, so I'm expecting some problems (feel free to report as comments to this post.), but so far, I'm pretty happy with the situation. I'm using the personal plan (4EUR/month), with …

I’m angry (again)

On May 15, 2017 By Florent RevelutIn News2 Comments

It's been quite a bit of time since I've posted here, so quick update on what's happening. It's mothers' day soon (it happens that this day is not the same depending on the country, so i'm hoping to be spammed twice as much) and I got spammed to "think about my mother and get her …

Create a video lamp

On February 11, 2017October 10, 2018 By Florent RevelutIn HackingLeave a comment

I'm doing quite a lot of video conferences from home and I've decided to improve my setup, to have better quality, and ideally, at some point, be able to use it for some Youtube tutorials. I still somehow naively think I'll eventually find some time to do that... Anyway, as I've discovered recently and explained …
