Just noticed that the national recruitment platform for teachers/researchers civil servants in #France is now called "Odyssée".

10/10 for not missing a good joke opportunity.

Is there a good URL scheme to use as href link when publishing Matrix account info on the web?

Ideally it should be something that automatically open a chat to you if you are already on Matrix somehow, or explains how to create an account (on whatever server one likes) if not.

WOW! Full #security devroom at #FOSDEM, for the presentation of "ROSA: finding #backdoors with #fuzzing" by my fellow co-authors @plumtrie@mastodon.social and M. Marcozzi.

At #FOSDEM, 40% of attendees at the opening talk (in a full room with 1200 seats) raised their hand to signal this is the first time they attend. This is super exciting for an old fart like me, who has been attending for 25 years. There is hope for the future! Welcome fellow hackers, and have a blast.
