Il y a exactement un mois, mon ami Gildas Avoine, professeur de #cybersécurité à l'INSA Rennes, et moi-même avons rendu à notre éditeur Dunod le manuscrit d'un livre intitulé « Cybersécurité et hygiène numérique au quotidien - 129 bonnes pratiques à adopter pour se protéger ». Son arrivée dans les librairies est prévue début 2024.
Visant le grand public initié au monde numérique, cet ouvrage explique en termes simples les problématiques de cybersécurité rencontrées tous les jours à la maison et au bureau, et surtout, il propose un grand nombre de recettes pratiques à appliquer au quotidien qui permettent de réduire ces risques.
Un tout grand merci à nos relecteurs de la première heure pour leur soutien et leurs encouragements (ils se reconnaîtront !), ainsi que pour avoir bien voulu relire et commenter tout d'abord le chapitre témoin, puis le manuscrit en entier. Un grand merci également aux éditions Dunod, qui ont cru en notre projet et accepté de le publier.

With news of #Bandcamp being sold, and advice that you should download your purchases now, I haven't published it yet, but I actually wrote a post recently about downloading from Bandcamp, and here were the three options that took my eye:
https://github.com/Otiel/BandcampDownloader
https://github.com/RyanBluth/Bandcamp-Greasy
https://github.com/easlice/bandcamp-downloader
I used bandcamp-downloader, and here is an extract of my post using it:
"I easily managed to install it and configure to download to a chosen directory and in the FLAC format with the following command, replacing the terms `USERNAME` and `/path/to/directory/` accordingly:
`./bandcamp-downloader.py USERNAME -d /path/to/directory/ -f flac`
And then the downloads slowly started to trickle in, all zipped up underneath directories with the artists' name. As such, the music still needs unzipping, but that was the case when downloading manually as well, and then music can be organised however you like.
I like how I can run it the leave it to do all the work in the background with me needing to monitor it or it be too intrusive as I work on something else, but the other two options may be more suitable if you prefer to work with a graphical interface and aren't too comfortable with the command line."

Quora uses ChatGPT which hallucinates an answer to a nonsense question.
Google Search picks up this nonsense answer from Quora which has high page rank and treats it as an instant answer.
