Repair an Asus Laptop

Let me introduce you my travel computer : an ASUSPRO Zenbook Pro UX550VD-BO098RB, bought in 2018 for work and later replaced by a Tuxedo Aura 15 Gen-1 for this usage. Since the Asus remained a good machine, I’ve used it for various tinkering, mobility requirement, and during travels. It’s also one of the first machine I’ve installed Manjaro Linux on it. Good point, Manjaro worked better than Fedora on it and the Nvidia drivers got installed by themselves.

BTW, why zedas.fr ?

Today, I want to answer to a question nobody asked : why is this site uses zedas.fr for its URL ? Well, there is a small story behind it. No very special, but I wanted to share it. A lot of personal blogs are usually using an URL named after their owner, or a pseudonym they use. Me, I didn’t want, mostly for privacy reasons and also because I didn’t want to see my same in my mail address and other stuff using a DNS, mostly because I don’t really like it.

My first short story book

Today, I’ve submitted to Amazon Kindle store, Kobo, and also on my Ko-Fi shop (that I’ve also discovered I could use that, better later than never…) the first story I’ve wrote as a book. The Amazon and Kobo publications are under review and should be available after 72 hours maximum. “Un voyage en train” is a short novel written in French telling the story of a student traveling in a strange world on board a high-end technological train.

Good-bye VPS

This blog has been created in 2019, with its first post in French published in the end of December.

Back on this time, this server was a good deal, subscribed during the Black Friday, it was one of the rare actual commercial opportunities for this period in France our retailer copied from the USA.

Manage your project documentation as Code

As an architect, the main product I deliver is a document named “Technical Architecture Document”. This document is basically a high level specification (not because it’s rocket science, it’s just a detailed global perspective) explaining how a software project will be implemented with the rest of the information system. And in most of the case, the template for this document is an Office suite-related document type such as a Microsoft Office document, or anything else.

What is GitOps ?

In my experience with the software delivery chain, we talk a lot about how the software is produced and delivered, but when it comes to make it live, the topic is less studied. Maybe that’s because the deployment is situated in the “Ops” domain of the DevOps timeline while the software production is on the “Dev” side. And we usually like to focus on Dev and less on Ops I suppose.

Testing Infomaniak's kSuite

A few years ago, I’ve tested Infomaniak’s Mail and Drive service. And today that’s my daily driver for these use-cases.
