My personal website lives at https://pablo.rauzy.name/ since 2008. My previous personal website is not online anymore.
Some parts of it are in French, typically the teaching section, which is primarily aimed at my students.
My blog (in French) is at https://p4bl0.net/. It's a new version that's live since 2021 but this domain has been hosting my blog since 2006. I had a blog before that but the hosting service I used has long been dead.
My blog runs on Dotclear (a very good open source PHP+MySQL blog engine) with a homemade theme.
My website runs on a hand written static site generator made of a Makefile and Bash scripts relying on the xml2 and 2xml commands, and coreutils in between them (especially sed). Those are automatically executed by a Git hook on my server to update the website on push. It's been like this since the beginning so I have the full history of my website's version back up to 2008 (I'm not even sure GitHub Pages were a thing back then!). It's fun to sometimes go back and see how it looked like almost 20 years ago.
I agree, privacy still means a lot. It's a term that's been co-opted by the large tech companies which operate with impunity. It will has meaning that cannot change.
The post also misunderstands privacy
> Privacy is when they promise to protect your data.
Privacy is about you controlling your data. Promises are simply social contracts.
Relevant excerpts to understand what's at play here:
> (…) this is functionally Meta borrowing $27.30 billion for a campus no one else will touch, packaged in legal formality precise enough to satisfy the letter of consolidation rules and absurd enough to insult the spirit.
> The structure maintains a precarious technical separation that, under current interpretations of accounting guidance, allows Meta to keep roughly $27 billion of assets and debt off its own balance sheet while continuing to provide every meaningful form of economic support.
And there were an Emacs minor mode and a Vim plugin too that did this too, both for the SubEthaEdit protocol and for the one of the Gobby editor (https://gobby.github.io/).
There is a lot of good news in open source audio these days. Also see this video presenting the work done and planned for the future version 4 of Audacity: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYM3TWf_G38
Funnily enough, that video talks about the pain of implementing a VST3 host at around the 25 minute mark. "If you're planning on doing it, set aside a lot of time."
i have my own vst3 host. it's not really that difficult.
the real problem is that theres a lot of plugins that do some random thing that wont work becasue it's not standard.
