Staff SRE at @payfiteng.bsky.social & Maître Raclettier — Mostly posting about conferences & tech — 🔧 Automation, ❤️ Open-Source, ⚙️ Rust, 📣🎙️ Conferences {organizer, speaker, frequent attendee} — Mandatory « I use Arch btw »
And that's a wrap for this edition of @breizhcamp.org ! Thanks so much to the organizing team, this conference is definitely one of the best we have in France. Super interesting talks all across the agenda, super friendly vibe, sponsors tagging along the theme with creative games, nice food... ❤️
Wrapping up this @breizhcamp.org with Nicolas De Loof on sandboxing with microVMs through github.com/containerd/n... Let's see what's new with the OCI runtime spec Implementations ! Can be especially interesting to sandbox agents more than just Docker which is already useful for that purpose
Missed my talk today at @breizhcamp.org about @PayFitEng.bsky.social platform path toward more managed & serverless services for its infrastructure and overall architecture ? While waiting for the recording, here is the content (in 🇫🇷) I presented:
Moins d’infra, plus de produit : notre chemin vers les services managés — BreizhCamp 2026 (2026-06-26)

And now: ethical decisions at @breizhcamp.org Props to the speakers for providing a written script of the talk (docs.proton.me/doc?mode=ope...) right from the start so visually or earing impaires people have an easier tome folloIng along - @sestegra.bsky.social and bis KCCNC talk would be proue!
Now @nledez.fr at @breizhcamp.org on how AI helped him reduce the carbon footprint of github.com/cgwire/zou CI Appreciate the early disclaimer of what the talk will _not_ discuss. I should do that more in my own talks instead of always trying to cram everything together.
Last day of @breizhcamp.org opening with a keynote by Karine Sabatier on Enshittification - great followup to @julientopcu.com closing yesterday with Tech & Pop Culture ! Let's see if there's some light at the end of the tunnel to escape the platform effect somehow.
Missed my talk today at @breizhcamp.org about policies-as-code, their role in steering organizations (engineering) practices, and how they can bring more explicitness than feeling only ? While waiting for the recording, here is the content (in 🇫🇷) I presented:
Arrêtez le “feeling” : pilotez vos pratiques avec des policies — BreizhCamp 2026 (2026-06-25)

Early this morning at @breizhcamp.org to benefit from the morning fresh air (relatively speaking...) for a last dry run of the talk I'll present this afternoon : Stop with the feeling, steer your organization with policies ! Hopefully the demo will go fine, my laptop essentially died 2 days ago 🙈
Props to @klf37.bsky.social at @breizhcamp.org for an incredibly complete, interesting and smoothly delivered talk about improving devs & ops experience by considering them with the same care as end users/clients! Didn't even take notes given how engaging it was. Make sure to catch the recording!
Folks from @wescale.bsky.social talking at @breizhcamp.org , and it's about SecNumCloud and admin devices ? Of course I'm in! Go go Chris Navas & David Gandra, with a real life feedback from NumSpot Let's enjoy the thousands-lines-long rules spreadsheets checks VS actual implementation 😄
Second talk of the day at @breizhcamp.org : Daria Hervieux and Mailya Bogrova on passwordless UX. Seeing how badly identification flows are often implemented, can't wait to have some useful tips to share! TIL we know fingerprints identification since 1880
Room is _packed_ for this very first talk at @breizhcamp.org 2026! And it's no surprise given the topic: loving development at the AI era Props to the conference organizing team: they have done a _ton_ across the board to help survive the heat wave. Let's see how far we can make it without melting!
On commence avec @horgix.fr qui nous parle d’incident technique. Première fois qu’on voie un cône de chantier sur la scène du tech f’est
Missed my talk today at @tech-fest.dev about tech incidents management (theoretical & personal convictions + experience feedback from @payfiteng.bsky.social ) ? While waiting for the recording, here is the content (in 🇫🇷) I presented:
Alerte, tout brûle ! Comment gérer des incidents techniques — Tech F'Est Nancy (2026-06-12)

In 20min I'll have the pleasure to kickstart the @tech-fest.dev conf in Nancy, with a lot of "first times": family member in the audience, opening of the conference, close to home, and... having to leave before the end of the day. Hope my talk on incidents and burning things will warm up the room!
La veille de Tech F'Est, c'est aussi ça : une grande tablée, des speakers et des orgas, à refaire le monde entre deux plats Demain on vous retrouve à Nancy pour la conf. On est prêt.
i wrote a post about the growing divide between AI skeptics and AI enthusiasts. wins and costs are both real, but too often fall on different groups of people. when you're only experiencing half the story, it's too easy to write each other off. charitydotwtf.substack.com/p/ai-enthusi...
AI enthusiasts are in a race against time, AI skeptics are in a race against entropy
Both sides are grappling with a real existential threat, and both sides feel like they are screaming into the void. Here's how to close the gap and get everyone pulling in the same direction.

Cloudflare’s response to the “Copy Fail” Linux vulnerability is where runtime security is heading 🐝 Instead of waiting for a full fleet-wide reboot cycle to roll out patched kernels across hundreds of cities, they deployed an eBPF program as a live mitigation.

i’ve worked in tech more than 20 years. it has never been more ridiculous.
The @fusionauth.io team has invited me to dig into the details of my generative AI skepticism, which extends to agentic AI. I'm more pragmatic than some people think, but I gotta push back on AI agents for everything, and burning tokens at alter of Artificial Intelligence.
FusionAuth@fusionauth.io · 4mo ago@kelseyhightower.com is joining us next week. We aren't doing another "AI will change everything" keynote. This session will go several layers deeper, with questions submitted from seasoned practitioners, and a little 'AMA' at the end. fusionauth.link/4vDe0CI

I've left that notification from @shykes.bsky.social unread for the past 2 weeks because I'm amazed that I've apparently been part of the " @rust-lang.org lovers" group on the @dagger.io Discord 😄 Likely joined it during the Dagger Hack Night at the #KubeCon #CloudNativeCon 2025 & forgot, love it!
And now... Let's present live at the #AWSSummit on scene (16:45, Amphi Havane) how we at @payfiteng.bsky.social moved from our pure EC2+Kubernetes infrastructure to managed/serverless services Spoiler: our talk start with a dialog that has been titled "Cringe script". It's gonna be fun!
Just contributed to a podcast for the first time ever - live today during the #AWSSummit with @sebsto.bsky.social 's AWS 🇫🇷 podcast ♥ Great experience! You'll be able to listen to itin ~June, talking about our journey at @payfiteng.bsky.social from Kubernetes on EC2 to managed/serverless services :)
Dad jokes during this #AWSSummit keynotes: - Works only in 🇫🇷: Qu'est-ce qui est mieux que l'inference? La deuxference - Veolia using IA? So... Veol-IA ?
