dont je vous ai causé y'a pas longtemps, c'est le service de DNS co-financé par l'UE et opéré par une société tchèque nommée Whalebone. Et bizarrement, depuis des mois, cette société récupère auprès de l'organisation anti-piratage néerlandaise (la BREIN) des listes de sites pirates.
Du coup, les utilisateurs commencent à se poser des questions... Pourquoi faire ?
Et bien d'après les dernières nouvelles, ils ne s'en servent pas. La BREIN envoie automatiquement sa liste contenant +300 sites bloqués vers DNS4EU comme ils le font déjà avec les FAI, et je pense qu'ils voyaient ça comme une bonne astuce pour bloquer un maximum de sites illégaux.
Mais pas de bol, Whalebone a fini par...

How long have we been hacking routers? To some of you who’ve been in the Hackaday audience for a while, the answer is “nearly forever”. In the early 2000s, they were one of the few consumer gadgets that had the trifecta of hackability: WiFi and networking built in, a user-friendly Linux operating system, and a few spare GPIOs that could control from the OS. Back when the Linksys WRT54GL was the king of the hill, we saw some pretty absurd hacks.
Take this example robot from October 2008. Link-rot hasn’t been kind to the original project, but from what we can tell, it used the GPIOs to drive servo motors hacked for continuous rotation, and features the equally anachronistic CD-ROM wheels. Where would you...

Nostalgia remains a powerful force. So much so that, in exploring the echoes of a late-'90s childhood spent skimming the water of Corneria and sneering "cocky little freaks!" in time with a monkey encased in a Gundam suit, I'm simultaneously describing playing Star Fox 64 (Lylat Wars if you're nasty) in 1997 and streaming it through Nintendo Switch Online today.
The franchise has been revived through a splashy remake on the Switch 2, but it's also a series that has not seen an all-new entry since Star Fox Zero on the Wii U. Yet Nintendo's neglect of the series has been gently offset by indie creators. Ex-Zodiac and Whisker Squadron: Survivo …

With the FIFA World Cup being partially hosted by the United States, the chance of a U.S.-led pirate domain seizure round was significant. In 2022, the U.S. government already carried out a similar World Cup-themed enforcement action, which was repeated yesterday at roughly five times the scale. The Department of Justice announced that it had seized nearly 400 domains that were used to illegally stream the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The action, branded “Operation Offsides 2026”, was led by the National Intellectual Property Rights Coordination Center with HSI Washington and the Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section.

Tim Cook recently said price increases were "unavoidable" and described the company's pricing as "unsustainable." The 16-inch MacBook Pro saw its price go up by $300. The 11-inch iPad Air went from $599 to $749. Even the HomePod Mini got a $30 bump to $129. Cook squarely placed the blame at the feet of the AI industry, which is not surprising. RAMageddon has already come for your desktop PCs and gaming consoles. The Xbox has seen its price climb nearly 25 percent depending on the model, and Nothing even canceled an entire phone launch. Apple is just the most recent to jack up prices and point the finger at AI.

What's the Password? has a simple concept: To solve each of the game's more than 100 puzzles, you have to type in the right four-digit password on a number pad. That might sound like a limited constraint. But the simplicity gives solo developer Dan DiIorio, better known as TrampolineTales, lots of room to play with clever ideas. Over the course of a few hours, the game never stopped surprising me.
Puzzle clues come in several different formats. Some are written text; the very first puzzle is a sentence that tells you what numbers to punch in. But you'll also have to decipher four-digit codes from things like the blinking digits of a clock, …

If you ever cracked open one of those Magic 8-Ball toys, you found little more than a polyhedron floating in some dark-colored fluid. It was a quasi-random way of asking the universe to answer crucial questions like “will Mom and Dad get a divorce?” and “does Bethany like me?” even if the results were seldom accurate (sorry about your parents, kid). If you want a more reliably random 8-ball that is not even slightly more truthful, you might like this recent build from [David Noel Ng]. The concept is simple enough — leverage quantum effects that provide truly random results to seed run a random number generator that determines the outcome of a software magic 8-ball.

Earlier this month, BREIN published its latest annual report, providing insights into its priorities and achievements.
Among other things, the Dutch anti-piracy group reports that it shut down 50 IPTV/VOD subscription vendors, 42 streaming sites, while also stopping 673 pirate site proxies and mirrors. BREIN also keeps the Dutch pirate site blocklist up to date. By the end of 2025 it covered 303 unique domains, 13 platforms, and 8 IP addresses. These are part of the dynamic blocking efforts, backed by a voluntary agreement with ISPs, as well as court orders.

Birdhouses can be a great way to help out nesting birds in your area, but they can be a bit intensive to make. As part of a 500 birdhouse marathon, [Of Human and Nature] decided to test whether a metal roof would be safe or turn the birdhouse into an oven.
Most DIY birdhouses are made of wood to encourage cavity nesting species that would naturally find a hole in a tree to use the house. Unfortunately, an unprotected chunk of wood will deteriorate much faster than a whole tree full of holes might. A metal roof reduces the exposure to the elements, but does it make the box too hot?
[Of Human and Nature] heeded concerns from commenters and actually tested his hypothesis with a simple set of thermocouples, a heat...

Well, NVIDIA wants to take away that last one, beacause the all-water cooled Ruben architecture won’t need any evaporative cooling— coolant can stay in a closed loop, and never needs to be cooled below 45 C, or 113 F.
