    Si vous avez encore un mot de passe identique sur trois sites, ou que vous vous dites "le 2FA c'est bien, mais je ferai ça plus tard", ce billet est pour vous. Proton Pass, c'est le gestionnaire de mots de passe de Proton, l'éditeur suisse derrière Proton Mail, Proton VPN, Calendar et Drive. On va voir ensemble quels sont les points forts, les limites et la vraie valeur ajoutée côté vie privée par rapport à d'autres outils du même genre.

    Parce que Proton essaie de nous faire admettre qu'il est possible d'avoir un gestionnaire de mots de passe sérieux, open source, zero-knowledge, avec des alias email intégrés, sans payer 50 € par an. Du coup on va voir si l'affirmation se vérifie ou pas. Avec une promo tonton Korben rien que pour vous, ma bonté me perdra je sais ^^

    Proton Pass : tour du proprio

    Le premier truc à comprendre, c'est que Proton Pass est zero-knowledge. Pour les moins techos d'entre vous, cela veut dire que Proton ne peut pas lire vos données, même s'il le voulait. Tout est chiffré côté client (via AES-256-GCM, et votre clé de chiffrement dérive de votre mot de passe maître que Proton ne connaît jamais. C'est la même logique que Proton Mail, Proton Drive, Proton VPN . Zero-knowledge, justice suisse, en dehors des alliances de surveillance 5/9/14 Eyes et personne qui a les clés à votre place.

    Mais ce qui rend Proton Pass vraiment différent là où les autres gestionnaires sont souvent juste "fonctionnels", c'est un ensemble de features qui touchent à l'identité et à la vie privée, pas juste à la sécurité brute. Point important, 2 audits indépendants (Cure53 en 2023 et Recurity Labs 2026 ). Extensions navigateurs, applis mobiles/desktop et même l'interface en ligne de commande ont été passées au crible.

    Voici les principaux points de différence qui font que Proton Pass se distingue de la masse (selon bibi) :

    1. Les alias email intégrés : la killer feature côté privacy

    C'est ZE fonctionnalité qui claque. Proton Pass intègre nativement Hide-my-email, hérité de SimpleLogin, un très bon outil de messagerie anonyme open source qu'ils ont racheté en 2022.

    Le principe est aussi simple qu'efficace puisque cela vous permet de générer des adresses email aléatoires qui redirigent vers votre vraie boîte. Vous ne donnez donc jamais votre vraie adresse à un site. Lorsque vous créez un compte, vous choisissez un alias, et l'alias reçoit les emails comme s'il était la vraie adresse. Le nombre d'alias est de 10 dans la version gratuite (cette dernière propose par contre un nombre illimité de mots de passe et d'appareils), mais si vous avez besoin de plus, il y a le Pass Plus (alias illimités, domaines perso, envoi depuis l'alias, etc.).

    C'est massif comme diraient les djeuns, parce que peu de concurrents l'intègrent nativement dans le gestionnaire. Vous avez des outils comme AnonAddy ou des services externes, mais ici c'est intégré dans le flux de création de mots de passe. Vous créez un login, vous choisissez un alias, vous validez. Basta. C'est déjà un niveau de privacy en avance et surtout ça se fait le plus facilement du monde quel que soit votre niveau.

    2. Zero-knowledge et métadonnées

    Outre l'utilisation de l'algo de niveau militaire AES-256-GCM (le même que la plupart des outils du genre), Pass ajoute un point technique fort, souvent ignoré par les concurrents. Proton Pass chiffre en effet aussi les métadonnées (URLs, usernames, noms de dossiers). La plupart des gestionnaires laissent ces champs en clair côté serveur, ce qui permet un profilage possible (quels sites vous utilisez, quelle fréquence, etc.).

    De son côté, Proton chiffre ces champs, ce qui empêche la société de voir ce que vous faites. C'est un point moins visible côté UX, mais massif pour la vie privée.

    3. 2FA/TOTP intégré et passkeys illimités

    Proton Pass intègre un authentificateur 2FA/TOTP, sans avoir besoin d'un outil séparé comme Authy ou Google Authenticator. Vous pouvez générer vos codes 2FA directement dans le gestionnaire, au moment de la connexion. Depuis début 2026, les passkeys sont aussi illimitées, même sur le plan gratuit. C'est un vrai plus pour remplacer les 2FA classiques par une méthode plus moderne et plus sécurisée, sans payer un supplément.

    Et bien sûr, l'autofill et la synchro entre vos différentes machines (navigateurs Safari/Edge/Firefox/Chrome ...) et OS (macOs/iOS, Android, Windows) sont en place. Sur les versions payantes il y a même une surveillance continue du darknet (Monitor) pour vous prévenir si un de vos mails a fuité et une protection anti-phishing (Sentinel). Que demande le peuple ?

    4. Écosystème Proton, une logique cohérente

    Proton est l'éditeur de Proton Mail, Proton VPN, Proton Calendar, Proton Drive, tous zero-knowledge. Proton Pass fait partie du même écosystème , avec un seul compte, une logique cohérente. Si vous utilisez déjà Proton, c'est un package complet. Si vous venez de Google, LastPass, 1Password, c'est une alternative sérieuse.

    Et si vous avez des besoins un peu plus larges il y a les packs Family (pour 6 utilisateurs avec les fonctions Pass Plus, panneau admin, etc.) ou Pass for Business , qui est la version entreprise (avec logs d'activité, SSO/SCIM et depuis peu la gestion par groupes). Bref, un un vrai plus pour la gestion des équipes, car ça permet à l'administrateur de suivre qui a des mots de passe faibles, qui réutilise les mêmes à gauche et à droite, etc.

    Sans compter que bientôt de nouvelles fonctionnalités vont arriver, car Proton Pass a une roadmap claire pour cette année : organisation plus fine via dossiers/sous-dossiers, agent SSH (stockage de clés SSH), amélioration de l'autofill, gestion par groupes en B2B, gestion des tokens d'accès pour les agents IA. C'est un produit qui bouge, pas un gestionnaire statique comme trop le sont devenu.

    Proton Pass vs Bitwarden vs 1Password & co

    Sans creuser plus que ça, on peut le comparer assez rapidement avec les gestionnaires les plus connus. Chacun ayant ses avantages et ses inconvénients donc à voir selon votre profil.

    • Bitwarden : open source, auto-hébergement possible, moins intégré côté alias, pas de chiffrement des métadonnées. Proton gagne sur les alias + métadonnées, Bitwarden gagne sur le côté self-hosting.
    • 1Password : premium, plus mature, pas d'alias natif, pas de chiffrement des métadonnées. Proton gagne sur la vie privée (alias + métadonnées), 1Password gagne sur l'UX et la maturité.
    • LastPass : une des leaders du marché mais avec un historique de fuites, moins privacy-focused, pas d'alias natif. Proton gagne sur l'aspect vie privée et zero-knowledge, LastPass sur la maturité et une base d'utilisateurs plus large.
    • NordPass : facile à utiliser, bonne UX, audits indépendants, nombre d'alias limité, pas de chiffrement des métadonnées. Là encore Proton gagne sur la vie privée. NordPass gagne sur simplicité et parfois des prix bas lors de certaines promos.
    • Google Password Manager : pas de zero-knowledge, pas d'alias natif. Proton gagne sur la plupart des points en dehors du prix.

    Et pour vous partager la table de comparaison un peu plus visuelle du site Proton (c'est un peu plus complet) :

    Vous voulez passer à Proton depuis un autre gestionnaire de mots de passe ? C'est facile, Pass vous propose un import automatique en quelques clics.

    Le bon plan du moment !

    Si vous voulez tester Proton Pass sans vous prendre la tête, il y a une série d'offres spéciales tonton Korben, toutes sur la même page. Proton Pass tout seul, c'est 12 mois à -50%, soit 2,49 €/mois. Pour équiper toute la famille, le pack Pass Family est à -40%, soit 4,19 €/mois (jusqu'à 6 personnes). Et si vous voulez le grand chelem (Pass + VPN + Drive + Mail), Proton Unlimited est à -30%, soit 9,09 €/mois. De quoi essayer toutes les features premium (alias illimités, 2fa intégré, passkeys, monitoring dark web, etc.) sans vous prendre un mur côté budget.

    Samsung nous vend KNOX comme le gros cadenas de nos smartphones Galaxy mais il semblerait que ce soit un gros fail. Si vous ne connaissez pas encore KNOX, c'est la couche maison de Samsung qui garde un oeil sur tout ce qui tourne dans le téléphone afin de nous PROTÉGER (retenez bien ce mot c'est important...lol).

    Et bien je vous le donne dans le mille mes petits Emile, des chercheurs de LucidBit Labs viennent de prouver l'exact inverse à cause d'une faille logée dans KNOX lui-même, qui est resté grande ouvert durant ces 8 dernières années. C'est la CVE-2026-20971, notée 7.8 sur l'échelle CVSS et elle concerne à peu près tous les Galaxy sortis depuis le S9.

    Le problème, c'est que n'importe quelle appli, même un machin tout bête sans la moindre permission, pouvait déclencher la faille pour aller ensuite tripoter la mémoire du kernel et cibler par exemple une prise de contrôle totale de l'appareil. Rassurez-vous, le correctif est arrivé dans la mise à jour de sécurité de janvier 2026, donc filez dans Paramètres, Mise à jour logicielle, et vérifiez que vous l'avez bien.

    Maintenant si votre Galaxy commence à dater et qu'aucune MAJ ne pointe son nez, c'est le moment peut-être de regarder si Samsung le maintient toujours, sinon opter pour une autre version d'Android ou acheter un smartphone pour les adultes (qui a dit iPhone ?? Rooooh).

    Ce qui est fou quand même c'est que toute cette galère sort quand même d'un truc ajouté POUR renforcer la sécurité. Parfois les défenses deviennent la surface d'attaque... C'est à se demander si empiler des couches et des couches de sécurité c'est vraiment une bonne idée alors qu'il suffirait de bien verrouiller le système de base (le noyau Android)...

    Bref, comme à chaque salve de failles Android , foncez mettre à jour votre Galaxy !

    Le président centriste Nicusor Dan enchaîne les consultations après les échecs successifs de deux premiers ministres désignés, depuis la chute du gouvernement du libéral Ilie Bolojan, le 5 mai. Cette instabilité profite à l’extrême droite, qui réclame des élections législatives anticipées.

    À l'aide d'une couteuse imprimante 3D capable de reproduit 600 000 couleurs Pantone, ils ont trouvé une méthode pour imprimer des gaussian-splats (une manière de stocker et représenter en 3D des modèles capturés en 3D).
    Le résultat est vraiment incroyable (ici, une abeille capturée en 3D en gaussian-splat).

    Pour essayer de l'expliquer autrement : C'est comme imprimer des voxels (des pixels en 3 dimensions) dans une résine, chaque voxel pouvant être d'une couleur et d'une transparence déterminée (grâce à l'imprimante).
    Il n'empêche qu'il faut quand même faire le travail de transformer le jeu de données du gaussian-splat en voxels, ce qui n'est pas trivial.

    Admettons que vous ayez besoin de transmettre des fichiers d'une machine A à une machine B, le plus vite possible et sans vous prendre la tête ?

    Et bien j'ai ce qu'il vous faut et ça s'appelle USB4STREAM, qui vient d'être fraîchement mergé dans Linux 7.2. C'est Intel qui a pondu ce protocole "super simple" (c'est leur expression) pour balancer des paquets bruts d'une machine à une autre, directement par le câble USB4 ou Thunderbolt sans serveur intermédiaire... Juste deux bécanes et un fil.

    Et effectivement, comme ils le disent, c'est super simple ! Une fois le module chargé et le stream configuré (un petit tour par ConfigFS pour faire apparaître le device), votre noyau expose des périphériques /dev/tbstreamX, et n'importe quelle application qui sait faire un read/write peut alors taper dedans.

    Vous branchez le câble, et il vous suffit ensuite d'écrire dans le device qui doit expédier les données d'un côté, puis de les recevoir sur l'autre machine. C'est tout... Du Unix pur jus, où tout est un fichier.

    Et les usages sont beaucoup plus larges qu'on ne croit... Y'a donc du transfert de fichiers d'un ordinateur à un autre, évidemment (un peu comme Croc , mais sans passer par le réseau du tout) mais aussi, pourquoi pas, du partage de webcam entre deux systèmes, ou permettre un accès à n'importe quel flux de données brutes en basse latence. Ainsi, plus besoin de passer par des serveurs tiers dans le cloud, ou d'installer un outil de transfert en réseau local .

    Ça me rappelle quand je jouais avec les copains à des jeux vidéos en utilisant un port série sur le PC... À l'ancienne comme on aime, sauf qu'on est en 2026 et qu'on a maintenant 40 Gb/s dans le tuyau !

    Puis contrairement à Thunderbolt qui nous promettait la vitesse de l'éclair il y a plus de dix ans (ouais, je vous sors les archives là...lol), là c'est natif Linux, et dispo pour tout le monde via un simple device !

    Le choix raffiné : le câble, pas le cloud

    Le patch d'Intel est d'ailleurs passé tranquillou puisqu'ils l'ont glissé dans le pull USB/Thunderbolt de la merge window, et c'est Linus Torvalds lui-même qui l'a mergé sur master sans la moindre objection. Et quand Linus laisse passer sans râler, c'est plutôt bon signe.

    Le reste du lot vaut le coup d'œil aussi puisque cette même pull améliore l'allocation des tunnels DisplayPort en multi-écran sur Thunderbolt, et ajoute un pilote de température pour le contrôleur xHCI du chipset AMD Promontory 21. Notez que ce dernier a été écrit en partie par Codex, l'agent de codage d'OpenAI... Mais balek tant que c'est propre et que ça fonctionne.

    Bref, si vous avez deux machines en USB4 sous la main, gardez un œil sur le noyau Linux 7.2...

    Si vous ne connaissez pas, un favicon, c'est cette mini icône pixelisée que vous pouvez voir dans l'onglet de votre navigateur qui en général est le logo du site que vous visitez. Hé bien le dev Tim Wehrle a réussi à y faire tenir un site web entier en stockant tout son HTML dans les 212 octets de l'image.

    L'astuce est toute con vous allez voir... Une image, c'est des pixels. Et chaque pixel a 3 valeurs : rouge, vert, bleu, soit 3 octets. Du coup il prend son HTML, le découpe octet par octet, et colle chaque octet dans une couleur. Premier octet dans le rouge, le suivant dans le vert, puis le bleu, et on continue ainsi de suite. Et voilà comment il arrive à stocker 208 octets de HTML dans un carré de 9 pixels sur 9. Et au final, le truc ressemble à des confettis random.

    Pour relire tout ça ensuite, un peu de JavaScript suffit. Le navigateur charge l'image, la passe dans un canvas, relit chaque pixel, recolle les octets et réaffiche la page. Il n'y a donc rien à installer et pour tester ça par vous-même, il a même mis une démo ici où vous pouvez regarder l'encodage / décodage se faire sous vos yeux ébahis.

    Maintenant, n'espérez pas faire tenir votre site e-commerce là dedans hein puisque la capacité plafonne à 239 octets. Et sans le bout de JavaScript qui décode, le favicon tout seul ne servira à rien. Et ce n'est pas de la stéganographie non plus puisqu'on ne planque rien dans une vraie image. La data c'est l'image...

    Mais c'est le genre de hack inutile que j'adore ! Le code est sur GitHub si vous êtes curieux et il raconte toute sa démarche sur son blog .

    Un « choc numérique », « Zéro papier d’ici six mois ».
    Alors si vous n'êtes pas dans le métier informatique, je vous le dis : Aucun risque que ça marche en 6 mois. Absolument aucun.
    Encore une fois, c'est :
    1) un effet d'annonce ("Regardez comme moi j'agis contre ce problème !")
    2) solutionnisme technologique ("Je vais résoudre ce problème [social/économique/politique...] avec la technologie") (Et on sait que ça ne marche jamais).

    Il faudrait peut-être arrêter de retirer des moyens à la justice, arrêter de retirer des moyens à la psy et à l'hôpital public en général et tuer le masculinisme. Mais qu'est-ce que j'en sais, hein, moi ?

    « Je sais qu’AWS est basé aux États-Unis. Cependant, nous avons maintenant un cloud souverain européen. »

    Tina Morris, technical business developer au sein de la branche cloud d’Amazon, a fait la remarque au dernier RIPE Meeting. Elle réagissait à la volonté du RIPE NCC de réduire sa dépendance aux hyperscalers américains.

    Le registre régional d’adresses IP, qui dessert l’Europe et une partie de l’Asie, redoute un éventuel décret présidentiel qui lui couperait l’accès à des technologies. Son directeur exécutif veut croire que le scénario est « impensable », mais estime que pour autant, on ne peut plus l’exclure.

    Un déclic géopolitique

    Dans ce contexte, le RIPE NCC « réévalue » son architecture. Il n’est pas question de la restaurer telle qu’elle était avant le lancement de sa stratégie cloud-first en 2019. Les attentes en matière de sécurité, de stabilité et de résilience ne sont effectivement plus les mêmes, en premier lieu au niveau réglementaire. Cependant, l’incertitude géopolitique pousse à « une approche plus indépendante et autohébergée ». La hausse des coûts du cloud joue aussi.

    Ce retournement avait globalement déjà été acté l’an dernier. Avec, entre autres, la mise en pause de déploiements PaaS. Les choses sont désormais « plus claires », nous affirme-t-on. Le RIPE NCC ne détaille pas ses plans, mais parle tout de même d’une migration greenfield. Il considère qu’il lui en coûtera 5 M€ sur 2026-2028. Ses dépenses d’exploitation reviendraient à leur niveau de la décennie 2010. D’autant plus qu’il lui faudra changer du matériel obsolète, non remplacé au moment où les investissements se sont concentrés sur le cloud.

    Une migration vers S3 actée en 2021 dans une logique économique

    Chez AWS, le RIPE NCC utilise notamment du S3, pour stocker les données historiques de sa plate-forme RIPE Atlas (mesure de connectivité Internet).

    Celle-ci pesait près de 1 Po à l’automne 2021, lorsque le registre avait officialisé son Cloud Strategy Framework. Il y avait adjoint une méthodologie d’évaluation de la criticité de ses services, assortie de niveaux d’exigence (taux de disponibilité, limitation de l’enfermement dans des services managés, réduction des dépendances à un seul fournisseur…).

    La migration vers le cloud avait alors une logique essentiellement économique. Le RIPE NCC admettait avoir initialement pensé que la diminution du coût du stockage compenserait, sur le long terme, l’augmentation de son volume de données. Il avait défini l’architecture sous-jacente (Hadoop + HBase) en conséquence, avec la perspective d’acquérir, au fil du l’eau, du matériel sur étagère.

    En suivant ce modèle, le RIPE NCC en était arrivé, début 2024, à une cinquantaine de racks sur 2 datacenters. Ses coûts annuels d’hébergement et d’énergie – hors équipements et ingénierie – avoisinaient le million d’euros. Avec la perspective de réduire son empreinte de moitié pour la fin de l’année puis de la contenir à 10 racks pour fin 2025, il avait décidé de basculer dans le cloud une partie de RIPE Atlas – comme, d’ailleurs, de sa base RIS (Routing Information Service). Tout en maintenant sur site les « joyaux de la Couronne » tels que que le registre, les données des membres et l’infrastructure RPKI.

    Les données « chaudes » de RIPE Atlas (datant de moins d’un mois) ont été hébergées dans un cluster Hadoop sur bare metal chez Hetzner. Les plus anciennes, sur S3, en exploitant les classes de stockage jusqu’au niveau Glacier. Et le back-end, sur EKS, avec du BigQuery pour permettre aux chercheurs d’accéder aux données de mesures ouvertes.

    Un framework cloud assoupli avec le temps

    Au fil du temps, le RIPE NCC avait assoupli son framework cloud sur plusieurs dimensions. Il avait par exemple autorisé, sauf pour ses services les plus critiques, le recours à des « standards de l’industrie » en plus des « standards ouverts ». La grille d’évaluation de la criticité des services a également évolué, mettant davantage d’emphase sur l’intégrité et la confidentialité des données.

    La partie sur site a aussi connu des changements. En particulier de fournisseurs. Les deux sociétés avec lesquelles le RIPE NCC avait contractualisé s’étaient effectivement retrouvées, par le jeu des fusions-acquisitions, propriété du même groupe. Un des deux datacenters se trouve désormais hors d’Amsterdam… et au-dessus du niveau de la mer, nous signale-t-on.

    Le renouvellement de l’architecture courra sur la période 2027-2031. Il inclura un volet virtualisation, le RIPE NCC souhaitant « minimiser le lock-in » dans ce domaine… On aura noté qu’il utilise AWS pour ses réunions en ligne, Google Workspace pour la productivité et Akamai pour le CDN.

    Summer is already happening, and Prime Day just made it significantly more affordable to do it properly. Whether the plan involves a backyard that finally lives up to its potential, a camping trip that has been on the calendar since January, or simply surviving the heat with more grace than last year, this list has the outdoor essentials worth grabbing while the deals are live.

    July 23rd through 26th is the window, and the savings across outdoor, garden, and backyard categories this year are genuinely worth showing up for. From sunup to sundown, and everything that happens around a fire pit after that, consider this the summer upgrade list that Prime Day just made a whole lot easier to justify.

    #1 Comfort Finally Got A Glow Up And Crocs Women's Low Wedges Are The Proof That Nobody Has To Choose Between Looking Good And Actually Enjoying The Walk Anymore

    Review: "Wow! I love heels but have lately been having foot pain due to a Morton’s Neuroma. I’ve been living in crocs and I got these hoping they would be just as comfortable as regular crocs and they are!!!!! Now I have something cute to wear on Sundays when my foot is acting up… well I will wear them all the time anyway! They are just as squishy as regular crocs! Now I’m going to save up and get an all black pair. I’m normally a 6.5 and a 7 in crocs and I got these in a size 7 and they fit perfect. I have very small ankles and they adjust and fit perfectly." - LadyFitzgerald

    #2 Nobody Misses The Part Where Everyone Spends The Whole Evening Smelling Like A Campfire, And A 20 Inch Smokeless Patio Fire Pit Makes Sure That Part Of Outdoor Entertaining Is Officially Retired

    Review: "I ordered the smokeless 20” pit and the heat shield. We had our first burn in it and once the fire is going it really is smokeless. Needless to say it was a hit. The heat deflector is a must have and pushes the heat out very well. It’s very therapeutic to watch the smoke burn off. It’s also cost a fraction as the name brand pits but does the same thing. Only con is the wood you put in it will need to be cut into smaller chunk size piece. For full length wood(18”) id look into a bigger unit. But I had some pine I cut down into 12” chunks and it burned very clean. Also very light weight, portable and easy to remove the ashes." - Justin

    #3 Cold Drinks That Actually Stay Cold Stop Being A Problem The Moment A Smart Countertop Ice Maker Joins The Outdoor Setup And Starts Producing Ice Faster Than Anyone Can Use It

    Review: "Arrived with no issues. Connected to wifi with no issues. It's just another great product from Govee for my smart home. I made a couple of batches of ice and tossed them to clean it out. It shuts off fine when ice tray is full or out of water." - Blue River Lore

    #4 Carrying Cold Drinks, Snacks, And Enough Lunch To Last An Entire Day Out Without A Single Compromised Temperature Reading Is What The Stanley All Day Backpack Soft Cooler Was Built To Do And It Does It Without Breaking A Sweat

    Review: "Great price point for this Stanley bag. Get the Midi. It’s slightly bigger. Holds ice well and isn’t too bulky. Matches the seafoam color perfectly." - Stephanie

    Summer entertaining has a way of exposing every gap in the outdoor setup all at once. The cooler that doesn't hold temperature, the chairs that were never quite right, the lighting situation that sends everyone inside before the night is over.

    Prime Day is the one moment in the year where fixing all of it at the same time actually makes financial sense, and the deals on this list are broad enough to cover whatever the backyard has been missing since last season.

    #5 Reapplying Sunscreen Without Interrupting Whatever Good Thing Is Currently Happening Is Exactly The Kind Of Effortless Coverage A Neutrogena SPF 50 Sunscreen Spray Makes Possible Without Asking Anyone To Stand Still

    Review: "It Smells very good. I buy it every summer. I highly recommend it." - Edwin

    #6 Backyard Vibes After Dark Get A Serious Upgrade When A Row Of Solar Tiki Torches Handles All The Ambiance Without A Single Extension Cord Or Lighter In Sight

    Review: "I just love sitting outside with my Tiki style torches on. The flicker feels so real and they bring such a wonderful and fun ambiance to my yard. The light temperature is just right." - Wendy Williams

    #7 Turning The Back Of The Car Into A Fully Covered Campsite Without Setting Up A Single Pole Separately Is Exactly What A Tailgate Suv Tent Brings To Any Overnight Adventure That Starts And Ends With The Trunk

    Review: "I purchased this tent 5 years ago and can’t believe how well it’s held up!!! It’s been caught in storms, tossed around vehicles and stored in my garage. It only takes a couple minutes to set up or breakdown. Probably the best thing I have purchased on Amazon." - Jun J

    #8 Drifting Downstream With Cold Drinks Within Arm's Reach And Zero Effort Required Is The Entire Promise Of An Inflatable River Tube Float With Built-In Cooler And It Delivers On Every Single Word

    Review: "Was tough enough to handle the vegetation on the banks of the river. Sturdy and comfortable. Really liked the cooler, although I used it more as a storage space. Very pleased with it!" - Katy Richards

    Beyond the backyard, the best outdoor summers are the ones where the gear actually keeps up with the plans. A spontaneous beach day, a last-minute camping trip, an afternoon at the park that turns into an evening nobody wanted to end, none of that happens quite as well without the right equipment backing it up.

    Everything still to come on this list was chosen because it travels well, performs better than expected, and makes whatever you had planned feel as if you prepared for it weeks in advance, even if you ordered it yesterday.

    #9 Striped, Fringed, And Giving Full Bohemian Beach Club Energy Without The Membership Fee, A Beach Cabana Is The Setup That Makes Everyone Else On The Sand Immediately Wish They Had Planned Better

    Review: "Best cabana at the beach! This is a must super cute and high quality! Easy to assembly and put up. Perfect protection from the sun for my daughter’s play area at the beach!" - Emily

    #11 Showing Up To The Beach With A Lightweight Coleman Beach Chair That Sets Up In Seconds And Weighs Almost Nothing Means More Time Sitting And Significantly Less Time Wrestling With Equipment In The Sand

    Review: "Lightweight and very comfortable. Easy to carry, quick to set up, and surprisingly stable on sand. Comfortable to sit for a long time — perfect beach chair. I use it often in Oahu, Hawaii." - Anna

    #12 Flat When You Don't Need It And Fully Functional When You Do, The Coleman Snap N Go Collapsible Cooler Is The One That Finally Makes Sense For People Who Never Had The Storage Space For A Regular One

    Review: "Wow, wow, wow! What an amazing product. As RVers, we find this collapsible cooler incredibly useful. The overall quality is very good, and the lid provides an excellent seal. The cooler collapses into a compact package that stores easily in an RV or vehicle, as shown in our SUV photo. We have used this cooler on multiple grocery runs and have experienced no issues keeping food and beverages cold with reusable ice packs. For RVers, campers, or anyone short on storage space, this cooler is an easy recommendation." - MKWilli

    #13 No Backyard Gathering Has Ever Been Made Worse By The Arrival Of A Cornhole Set That Gives Everyone Something To Compete Over While Pretending They're Just There To Relax

    Review: "I read the reviews that this was easy to put together, and it really is. I honestly cannot put anything together, ever, but decided to give this a try. It just snaps together and the directions are straightforward, completely straightforward. This took me maybe 5 minutes. I wanted something to hide my leaf blower, extension cord and watering can. It all fits with room to spare. It’s a little darker than I anticipated, which actually matched better. It’s not the sturdiest, but it’s pretty well made and should hold up well enough. I like it; it was a good purchase." - Michelle S

    Choosing whether or not to have kids is a deeply personal decision. And yet, people who choose to stay childfree often find themselves repeatedly explaining that choice to others. Friends, family, and even acquaintances sometimes feel the need to question it or try to convince them they’ll eventually change their mind.

    One woman shared how her friend kept pushing the topic for years, even though she had always been clear about not wanting children. The final straw came at a wedding, when the friend loudly told her across the table, “Well, I hope you get pregnant.” What happened next left everyone at the table stunned—keep reading to see how she responded.

    It is a personal decision whether to have kids or not, and nobody should pressure you into one or the other

    Many Gen Z adults say they are choosing not to have children because of the financial strain and rising cost of living

    Parenting is no easy task, and most of us have heard the stories (whether from friends, cousins, or coworkers) about sleepless nights, endless laundry, and the chaos of raising little humans. In fact, the internet is packed with memes joking about the daily struggles of being a parent. Yet despite all the challenges, many moms and dads say the journey is deeply rewarding. For them, the joy of watching a child grow often outweighs the exhaustion. Parenting can bring meaningful moments, strong family bonds, and a sense of purpose that many people cherish. At the same time, it’s also a life choice that requires time, energy, and long-term commitment. And that’s exactly why some people take their time thinking carefully about it.

    Beyond the day-to-day challenges of raising a child, there are many factors people consider when deciding whether parenthood is right for them. In recent years, more Millennials and Gen Z adults have openly talked about choosing to delay or skip having children altogether. Research from the Pew Research Center shows that the U.S. fertility rate reached a historic low in 2023. At the same time, a growing share of women ages 25 to 44 report that they have never given birth. These trends reflect changing lifestyles, priorities, and economic realities. People today are thinking differently about relationships, careers, and personal goals. And for some, that reflection leads to a different vision of adulthood than previous generations had.

    One of the biggest factors influencing this decision is finances. Raising a child can be incredibly expensive, and many young adults are becoming more aware of those costs before making long-term commitments. According to a survey by MassMutual, nearly a quarter of Millennials and Gen Z adults without children say they don’t plan to become parents. Their main reason? Financial concerns. From childcare to healthcare and education, the price of raising kids can feel overwhelming. Many people worry about whether they’ll be able to provide the lifestyle and opportunities they would want for their children. As a result, finances have become a major part of the conversation around family planning.

    That same survey revealed something interesting about how people think about money and parenthood. About 23 percent of adults between the ages of 18 and 43 said their decision to remain childfree is tied to two key financial concerns. First, many value the financial flexibility that comes with not having children. Without the costs of childcare, schooling, and other expenses, people often feel they have more control over their budgets. The second concern is uncertainty about whether they could comfortably afford the long-term costs of raising a child. For some, the question isn’t about whether they want children; it’s whether they could realistically support them without constant financial stress.

    When you look at the bigger picture, those concerns start to make sense. Living costs have been steadily rising in many parts of the world. Rent, groceries, healthcare, and everyday expenses can already stretch budgets pretty thin. Buying a home, something many people once considered a major step before starting a family, has also become far more difficult for younger generations. With student loans and economic uncertainty in the mix, financial stability can feel harder to achieve. For many couples or individuals, the idea of adding the cost of raising a child on top of everything else can feel overwhelming. So naturally, people are thinking twice before making that decision.

    And then there’s the sheer cost of raising a child itself. In a piece discussing the topic Fox News mentions, experts estimate that raising a child to the age of 18 now costs over $300,000 in the United States. And that number doesn’t even include college expenses. Once higher education is factored in, the total can easily climb into six figures more. When you break it down, the expenses add up quickly—food, clothing, healthcare, school supplies, childcare, and extracurricular activities. Over the years, these costs can quietly stack up into a massive financial commitment.

    It’s important for people to respect others’ decisions about having children and avoid pressuring them to change their minds

    For some individuals, the decision not to have children is also influenced by health or genetic concerns. Certain people live with medical conditions or inherited disorders that they worry could affect future children. Others may carry personal experiences with illness in their families that make them cautious about passing those challenges along. These decisions are often deeply personal and emotional. People who make them usually spend a lot of time reflecting on what feels right for their circumstances.

    There are also lifestyle reasons why some people choose to remain childfree. Many say the choice allows them to dedicate more time to hobbies, interests, and passions that matter to them. Without the responsibilities of parenting, they might travel more, explore creative pursuits, or invest more energy into personal growth. Others focus on building their careers, saving for the future, or maintaining an active social life. For these individuals, the freedom to shape their lives in different ways feels fulfilling. It’s not necessarily about rejecting family life; it’s simply about prioritizing different goals. And for them, that path feels right.

    Ultimately, deciding whether or not to have children is a deeply personal choice that looks different for everyone. Some people dream of becoming parents and building a family, while others feel happier pursuing different life paths. Neither decision is inherently right or wrong. What matters most is that individuals feel supported in making the choice that aligns with their values, circumstances, and well-being. Conversations about parenthood are becoming more open and nuanced as society evolves. And perhaps the most important takeaway is that everyone deserves respect for the life they choose to build.

    In this particular case, it seemed like the author’s friend simply refused to respect her decision to remain childfree and kept pestering her about it for years. Eventually, the author decided to stand her ground and respond firmly when the comment crossed the line. What are your thoughts on this situation? Do you think she handled it the right way?

    “Turn and face the strange, ch-ch-changes

    Pretty soon now you're gonna get older

    Time may change me, but I can't trace time…”

    David Bowie’s iconic song may have been about reinventing himself as an artist and the inevitability of aging, but it’s something that we can all relate to. We’re constantly evolving, and so is the world around us.

    Below, you’ll find a list that Bored Panda has compiled of then-versus-now photos of famous places in the United States. As you’ll clearly see, these cities and landmarks have undergone massive changes, and it’s fascinating to examine how they’ve occurred. Enjoy scrolling through these images, and be sure to upvote the ones that inspire you to take a trip down memory lane too.

    Compared to the rest of the world, the United States is a pretty young country. It’s only been around for 250 years, while some have been standing for over a thousand years. Because the nation is so young, it has transformed an incredible amount over the past two centuries. And the places that have changed the most drastically are the cities.

    There are plenty of small towns in the U.S. where you can still find dirt roads today, but the nation’s largest cities are sprawling metropolises with seemingly endless highways and millions of homes. The most important and influential cities in the nation haven’t always been the same, though.

    Back when the country was formed, New York City, Philadelphia, Boston, Charleston, and Baltimore were powerhouses. And while they’re all still important today, some have become overshadowed by younger cities like Los Angeles, Atlanta, and Houston.

    And according to The Atlantic, the prominence of certain cities has changed drastically between 1978 and 2010 as well. Detroit, St. Louis, Cleveland, New Orleans, Kansas City, Milwaukee, Columbus, Indianapolis, and Buffalo have all dropped significantly in GDP rankings. Meanwhile, Washington, DC, Dallas, Phoenix, San Diego, Denver, Tampa, Portland, Orlando, and Sacramento made huge strides in improving their rankings.

    These changes are still happening today, though. Good Migrations notes that a handful of cities have rapidly changed even in the last five years. These include Boise City (ID), Provo (UT), Lakeland (FL), Austin (TX), and Huntsville (AL). 

    The transformations that these cities have experienced can be attributed to an increase in job opportunities, an increase in population, an increase in GDP, and more. Along with all of these changes often come more tourism, more cultural and arts events, and perhaps even happier populations.

    One thing that makes the United States unique (for better or worse) is the highway system that the country has. And that has definitely changed an incredible amount over the past century. According to Vox, 48,000 miles of highways were added to the nation between the 1950s and 1970s. These gave rural residents access to cities and allowed people who worked in cities to move to suburbs, while still having easy access to their jobs and communities. But there were certainly downsides to these highways as well.

    Peter Norton, a historian at the University of Virginia, told Vox that there was almost always discrimination involved when determining where these highways would go and whose communities would be impacted by them.

    “The explanation, in almost every case, is that the relatively well-off, influential people in those cities were able to stop the urban highways that would have gone through their neighborhoods," Norton says. He cites the example of Wisconsin Avenue in DC, which was supposed to become a highway but never did because wealthy residents protested. "The destruction mostly happened in the most disenfranchised neighborhoods. It's astounding how selective it was."

    Despite how much American cities have changed already, it’s likely that the transformations won’t stop any time soon. There is a movement for walkable cities that is gaining traction in the U.S., and hopefully, many more communities will have options available for transportation other than just cars. 

    In fact, a recent survey found that six out of 10 builders are now moving away from large homes and focusing their attention on creating walkable neighborhoods. 56% of Americans even say they would be willing to move and have a smaller yard if it meant they lived in a more walkable neighborhood. Times are changing!

    There’s this misconception that all, or most, twins are thick as thieves. They once shared a womb together, and know each other better than anyone else. But it turns out that sometimes, the good twin/evil twin narrative we see in movies isn’t too far from the truth.

    A cousin has spilled the beans on some wedding drama that rocked the boat of a wealthy family. According to her, this family splurges on an boat cruise every few years. One such vacation hit an iceberg when the dad decided he’d postpone it so that he could pay for his daughter’s extravagant wedding instead. The bride’s twin sister lost it, accusing her of being selfish and ruining everyone’s year by getting married.

    Their family cruise was put on ice so that the bride’s father could pay for his daughter’s lavish wedding

    Twin estrangement is more common than you might think, here’s why…

    Many people think of twins as having the perfect relationship but this is simply often not the case. In fact, some experts say that twins fight worse than other siblings and hold onto resentments for much longer.

    “There’s such an ingrained belief that twins have an ideal relationship, that twins are icons of idealized intimacy, and sometimes that’s true, but often it’s not,” says Barbara Klein, an expert on the development of twins. Klein adds that because twins are supposed to get along, estrangement between them can cause deep shame.

    Dr. Joan Friedman, another expert on twins, notes that while twins fight just like different-aged siblings, “their tensions have much more to do with establishing separateness and uniqueness, traits afforded naturally to siblings born at different times.”

    “Twin estrangement that grows out of unresolved anger, disappointment, and resentment is emotionally complicated and confusing,” Klein writes. The expert herself has first-hand experience of this, revealing she was “estranged and then connected and then disconnected” from her own twin sister for over 45 years.

    Klein describes twins as “born married” because they have a unique bond. But that doesn’t always mean they’re close.

    “What is unique about twinship is the level of conflict between twins, which can come after harmony, almost instantly,” she explains. “Conflicts over differences of opinion—what belongs to whom, or who is more favored or entitled—are ongoing discussions that create intense unhappiness and confusion.”

    According to Klein, harmonious happiness can easily be totally wiped out by a superficial fight over a dress, toy, or sweet treat.

    “Profound fights about the best college to go to or the right man or woman to marry can become ruthless and hateful, and often cause nonstop fighting and alliances in the nuclear and extended family,” adds the twin expert.

    Friedman says that rivalry in adult twins has “everything to do with wanting to be on one’s own and discovering one’s singular sense of self without worrying how this will disrupt and upset one’s twin.”

    Klein reveals that even when they’re estranged, twins yearn for each other.

    “All twins long for the closeness they shared from conception into childhood. The bond twins share is primary; like the mother-child bond, it cannot be replaced,” she says. “Misunderstood and mistreated by each other, twin communication can be destroyed because of fighting and unrealistic expectations.”

    Sometimes a job, a career, the rat race all gets to be too much, even if the work is manageable. The truth is that we’re all well aware that there is a big world out there to explore and one typically doesn’t get to see much of it if you’re stuck in a nine-to-five.

    So we’ve gathered posts from people who decided that they don’t want to be stuck, tied down to a job and got up and left to travel the world. Get comfortable as you read through their experiences, upvote your favorites and be sure to share your own tales in the comments section down below.

    Yes. Several times. No regrets. The biggest was when I quit a bad factory job and saved up about 7k. Then I walked coast to coast across the USA which took about 8 months. Most of my budget was food and gear, slept in a tent most nights. My work history is full of large gaps, but also full of life experiences I wouldn’t trade for anything.

    My partner passed away in an accident in July 2024. Quit my job, packed up and left. I couldn’t stand staying in the city we had moved to together and planned to have our life in. Initially, I started a new job in another country but I was not mentally ready for it and I couldn’t hack it. Ended up leaving and now I’m traveling. Somewhat with a plan, somewhat randomly. Visiting friends in different places, and seeing places I’ve always wanted to visit but never had the chance. It’s bittersweet because I wish my partner was with me but I’m hoping it’ll help me figure out what to do with myself when the traveling ends.

    I say go for it. Why wait? There are always going to be reasons to put it off. If it’s something you want to do, don’t spend your time dreaming about it and never doing it. You never know who you will meet or what will happen along the way. Go wherever you’ve always wanted to go. Don’t overthink it.

    Traveling alone gets hard around the 7 month mark. You start slowing down and spending a month or two in each place and taking classes or participating in sports or something.

    Humans really want connection, comfort, stability.

    If you travel with a partner though, it’s easy to go full blast for the full year at pretty high speed.

    I did a whole year. Quit my job and travelled Europe, India, SEA, Japan. Ended up in Australia on a WHV, met my future wife in Thailand, she's Aussie, got married last year and bought a house now have a baby on the way. I don't regret a single thing!

    Not a year. I'm on year 8. And now it's coming to an end. I regret very little, although I wish I'd known the entire time that financially I was always going to be okay.

    In hindsight, I'm always fine, but after 8 years of not always knowing where the next paycheck is coming from, and always having an eye on 6 months in advanced for the next major contract, it's grown tiresome

    Now I worry about getting back into work that will 1 keep me stimulated and two, not suck because of nearly a decade out of regular work

    If I knew what I know now when I started, I'd have taken less big risks, and just enjoyed the ride, although the 8 years of pushing myself will definitely pay off when I put down roots

    The thing with money is there's always a way to find it. You just have to hone skills.

    Learning things like video editing, marketing, copywriting. Are actually great starts, it's cliche, but the way you approach it is key.

    The most successful way of finding money on the road that I've ever seen was video editing. Not my cup of tea but he would approach businesses, offer to do them a video for free, if they like it, they can buy it off him. Worked really well.

    Have you considered discussing the potential of an unpaid sabatical with your office? I am in the middle of a 5 month unpaid sabatical which I think has made the trip more relaxing, knowing that I have a job to go back to. It also has made budgeting easier as there is no unknown of job searching.

    Alternatively, maybe see if you can find a new job and tell them you can only start on 3 months? I have a 3 months notice period at my job so it's not uncommon that people can't start straight away.

    Yes, twice.
    Though I wish it weren’t the case, I feel that age plays a significant role in how these experiences unfold for me.

    The first time, I was young, living in my parents’ house, and my job wasn’t very serious. Traveling for a year was an incredible adventure—I learned a lot, had amazing experiences, met fascinating people, and felt I’d had serious personal growth. Coming back home after a year of traveling wasn’t overly easy, but it wasn’t very difficult either. The hardest part was dealing with the overwhelming boredom of not traveling or doing something different and exciting every day. Still, it was relatively easy to get back into my life—I moved out of my parents' house, rented an apartment with friends, and landed a higher-paying job fairly quickly, so things worked out.

    The second time, I quit my job, sold everything I owned, and set off for another adventure. It was great, but when I returned after a year, it was much harder. This time, it felt like everyone around me had moved forward with their lives. People had advanced in their careers, gotten married, had kids, and I felt stuck in place. I struggled to find a job for over a year, eventually looking at entry-level positions, which was a huge blow considering I was once on a completely different career path. At some point, COVID hit, and things got even worse. It became incredibly difficult to find an apartment to rent, so I had to sublet and move to a different apartment every month or two. My friends were busy with their spouses or babies, and I felt like I was completely alone.

    Now, almost six years later, I still feel like I haven’t caught up with those around me.

    Do I regret traveling? Not really. I had incredible experiences that I wouldn’t trade for anything, but it’s important to acknowledge that while you’re living your dream, life keeps moving forward for everyone else. People progress in their careers, relationships, and personal lives, and when you return, you might find that you’ve missed out on opportunities.

    It’s not the same but I took a 13 month unpaid sabbatical to travel the world. Here’s the bulletin list to your questions:

    Yes, I recommend it. You’re only at your age once. It becomes different the older and more established you are. I was 41 back then.

    No. I have no regrets. The memories, friendships and experiences I made live on long after I came home.

    Short answer I work for the government in BC, Canada. I just came back to my old job.

    I saved and spent $24,764 CAD. About $62 a day.

    I spent three months in South America, two months in Eastern Europe, six weeks in the Middle East, five weeks in Africa and five months and a week in Southeast Asia.

    Regarding the regret question it’s been ten years and I’m on a second sabbatical. This time it’s seven months paid at 40% of my salary. I’m traveling Africa for the whole time. Currently in Kenya.

    A long time ago, my then girlfriend asked me to give up my job, rent out my house and travel the world with her. I immediately said 'No'. It just made no sense to me. Weeks later she passed suddenly at the age of 27. Suffice to say, I was devastated. We'd not been together for a long time (18 months) but...

    12 months later, after saving every penny I could, I gave up my job, rented out my house and headed to the other side of the world. What followed was five years of on/off travel. I'd work to save money and travelled as much as I could.

    My regrets are obvious but I also wish I'd done it much earlier in my life. I was once sat in a hostel cafe in Paris and a16yo back packer came in. I was so jealous of the freedom he had and the great travel experiences he had ahead of him. I didn't start til I was 29.

    Travelling changed me in so many ways and I encourage everyone to go out and see the world. You'll learn more about yourself than anything else.

    I'm in the middle of doing it. 1 month in. Feeling a bit homesick but don't regret it. But I was tired af of that job. I saved up plenty of money that I don't have to stress too much. Doing Europe and a bit of Asia. Might extend the trip when I get back if I feel like it.

    I left a job in an engineering/manufacturing business to tour Asia for six weeks. Relatively short, but it was a long journey for me. I just needed the break as an opportunity to explore and experience discovery. When I came back I had the opportunity to work fewer days at the same place and a few years later left completely to go back to school.
    No regrets at all.

    Yep, did it in 2023 for 6 months after leaving a stable corporate job in marketing. I interviewed about 4 weeks before I came home and walked into a job immediately. I had some decent experience though and was not a junior anymore. No regrets at all but it was definitely mentally challenging at times and I learned a lot about myself.

    Not the same, but I was laid off in September 2023 and remained unemployed through March 2024.

    I don't have any children, so I took part of my savings and my severance to travel to 4 different countries (Portugal, Curaçao, Türkiye and Chile). Having credit card points available also helped.

    It was definitely risky, but worth it. I want to do it again, but between January and June 2027 because my passport expires in January 2028 (usually you need to have at least 6 months of validity on your passport).

    Who knows if I will do it again or not.

    It all depends on your personal situation and the job market (which is not the best right now).

    I only regretted not updating my resume before I left, and not preparing for interviews a little more while traveling. I don't regret quitting or traveling at all.

    Yes, twice quit and sold all my possessions. I was gone for 9 months the first time, second time 5 years :)

    Absolutely no regrets. 10/10 would do it again.

    I did it! I was basically going to quit my job one way or another, but I ended up deciding to take another job in the industry four months later. Given your industry, I think the key is to make sure that your professional network is kept up. But, I never had anyone view the fact that I took a few months off work negatively.

    I went to Europe and, being a planner, I had a lot of my trip planned out in advance. I used a Google spreadsheet to keep the hostel reservations and flight/train/bus tickets organized in one place.

    I’m quitting my soul sucking IT job next week and taking off for a 4 month trip across Latin America and Europe. I’ve saved $10,000 and will be teaching English online very part time for an additional 200€ a month. I’ve secured a job teaching English in Vietnam starting in August so that was easy. I’ve already booked the first month worth of accommodations and I’m just going with the flow for activities !

    Yes I did it at the beginning of 2022 and came back home 13 months later. I travelled around Asia and it was probably the best year of my life. Absolutely no regrets. I did this at 39 years old, had plenty of savings and also rented out my flat for income so I was in a good position to do it.

    Coming back home was hard initially adapting back to reality again. The job market wasn't great and it took me about 3 months before I got a permanent job. I spent about £18,000 on the trip in total and I've since made all that money back again.

    Would I do it again? No, it was a one off thing for me and kind of a midlife crisis. I'm now happy in my job and ready to settle down with the right person. And as I'm getting older I now prefer comfort over the backpacking life.

    I've taken a year off to travel and this is really a much bigger topic than can be covered in a comment on reddit. Great experience, no serious regrets, just minor tweaks. (And I've since learned how to plan trips like this in a more streamlined way than I did originally.) I went from juggling multiple part time jobs to travel to pivoting into a more stable career path in marketing. Saved $12k before leaving and made the rest of my budget freelancing while traveling. Finding work on return varies between industries, positions, and individuals. You might chat with a recruiter in your industry to learn how long job searches are taking. Happy to share more via chat another time.

    Yes.

    My first trip to Europe I quit 2 jobs AND took a semester off from university actually to spend 3 months backpacking through Europe.

    I regret not staying longer. I regret going back to school and work. I regret not expanding my travels more to see more of Europe and traveling further afield.

    I would 100% do it again, even today with my family. We own home and cars and have savings. We are healthy and I have a skillset that I can come back home and immediately either find a new job or work on the side to start re-earning a livable income.

    But not everyone is as ready to leave it all behind for an extended trip as I am :)

    When I went on that first trip, it was supposed to be 4 high school friends spending 2 weeks seeing our favorite soccer clubs and the tourist highlights along the way.

    Budget was $3,500 - all in: flights, hotels, rental car, food, etc. I didn't have that kind of money, my parents didn't have that kind of money. But all of my friends' parents did.

    I took a semester off of university, doubled my part-time job's hours, picked up a second full time job. I worked 6-7 days per week for several months.

    Then I found 'Europe Through the Back DOor' by Rick Steves, consumed its 300+ pages in a single weekend, and realized I could spend the entire summer on that same $3500 budget.

    I told my friends thinking they'd stay the summer with me. They laughed and made fun of me.

    I bought a backpack, a Eurail pass, a Hostel Card, and a moneybelt, and a open-jaw, round trip 'from anywhere on the East coast of US to Western Europe and back' airfare 'voucher.

    I flew out a week before my friends, and learned all about solo backpacking, hostels, Europes trains, sleeping on trains for free, eating affordably. \Then met my friends in Rome and we traveled together for 2 weeks.

    THey left and a cousin from home flew out to meet me. We traveled together for another 2 weeks.

    Then I traveled solo for the rest of the summer. I didn't see as much as I could have in retrospect, but i saw and experienced a LOT.

    Next to my wife and kids, it was the single most pivotal moment in my life.

    Now I share my stories and experiences and advice from 25 years of European travel on Youtube and Twitter and am building a web app to help others travel to Europe on their own affordably and with confidence.

    The only thing I regret is not traveling more before having a family & not dragging my family around more as my kids have grown up.

    Not quit, but had a 9 month sabbatical planned after my dad passed away. 2 weeks into the trip I end up temporarily paralyzed in a hospital in Santiago, Chile and had to cut the trip short and come home.

    #24

    Yes. I planned to travel from 6 months to 1 year, and ended traveling for 3yrs and half, with 2 stops at middle.
    At total, I stayed 10 years in Asia, and expected was 6 months.
    You can do it at any age, regardless of people tell you, but you have to be flexible with jobs, want to learn new skills, accept losses, loneliness, uncertainty about the future.
    When you end, for me at least, there is always a sensation of feeling lost, but after a period of recovery, I'm ready to look for a job.
    Many hiring companies see work gaps as a red flag but you can overcome it proving that you are a resourceful person.

    I am a teacher and I quit my job in 2022 to travel Latin America for 6 months. Like everyone has already said, my only regret is not saving more money or spending more time away—it is an incredible experience you should have if you can!

    I spent roughly $10,000 not including some withstanding expenses in the US (storage unit, credit card, etc). My one piece of advice is to keep things open and flexible! I was always anxious about not having plane tickets or solidified reservations/plans, but traveling is so convenient nowadays and most things works out when you go with the flow. Give yourself enough wiggle room so when you fall in love with a new spot, you can hang for a bit!

    Being a teacher, I had no problem securing a job when I returned but each profession is different. I hope you have a blast :).

    I do it every few years. Frick it dude, you will be replaced at a job within a week.

    Travel is the only thing you can waste money on and it’ll still make you ‘richer’. Richer with life and stories and knowledge.

    Get out there man.. one day the grim reaper will come knocking. Live a life you wanted.

    12 years ago I quit a 100k job and purchased a one way ticket to SE Asia. I was 32 and started my trip solo (ended it with a partner I made along the way). I ended up travelling for 18 months. Honestly, I wish I had gone longer.

    Hell yeah I was nervous. I was leaving a really good job, my friends and my family. And it was hard the first month. I was on a small island learning to scuba dive and it would get lonely. I was used to being busy all day. But then like anything, you adapt and get more comfortable. You begin to appreciate the peacefulness of not having obligations. And you see the joy in smaller things. You will be fine.

    The trip itself was amazing. I went places and did things I would never dream of. Spent 6 months making my own way across Africa, which just blows my mind when I look back on it. Hell, because of my trip I ended up moving to Europe from the U.S. I’ve been here 10 years now. My trip changed my life completely, and I’m much happier for it.

    Go. Enjoy every moment you can.

    I didn’t do this but I’ve traveled solo a lot and what I say about it is the highs are higher and the lows are lower. The loneliness and boredom sometimes is awful but then you have these incredible unplanned experiences and it makes it all worth it. I’d say establish some daily routines you can take anywhere so you ground yourself.

    I quit a job that some people considered a career entry point. It was a union job providing tech support for the local phone company. It paid decently for the time ($17/hr in 2006), but I always intended for it to be temporary.

    Best thing I ever did. Spent the next 6 months on an overland route from Cairo to Budapest. Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Turkey, Greece, Bulgaria, Romania and Hungary. Plus some brief stops in London, Paris and Malta. (Those brief stops totalled about 3 weeks, which is now my typical vacation length)

    Traveling long term isn't like a vacation. You develop routines, meet new friends, and just experience what carefree living is all about. Probably you'll spend whole days reading books. Maybe you'll randomly decide to spend a whole week somewhere just because the pension you're staying at serves good food (okay, they also had a pool). But the travel adds variety to those routines. You'll never be bored because there's always something new to see. And if you are bored, you can just pack up and move on.

    Everyone gets nervous in the face of a big change, but if this is something you want to do, and have the ability to, you'll have far more regret and second thoughts if you back out.

    I did it and traveled for a year. It was totally worth it. I wasn’t at all doubtful about it because I was really unhappy with that job by the end of it and was sick of where I was living and was planning on looking for a new job and moving anyway. Looking back it was amazing but while doing it I kind of got used to it and there were just different kinds of highs and lows. Sometimes I had to stop and just take a moment to appreciate all the incredible things I was seeing.

    I very rarely had nothing to do though. You can pack your itineraries as full as you want. Apart from the occasional beach break I was pretty much doing stuff every day during the hours most people would be working.

    #35

    I did it back in 2023. Well I didn’t quit, I was laid off and just took the opportunity to go travel for 3 months.

    A few things happened, one I haven’t been able to land a job since lol. I worked in the tech industry and the market has just been absolutely ruined. I worked as a photographer as a hobby and occasional side-gig but have been forced to do it full time. So while I’ve been broke as hell, I’ve actually been a lot happier as I have more free time.

    #36

    I did this for a four month trip. I was leaving a job that was for a set term and so had to find a new job anyways. When the new job gave me the offer I asked if I could delay my start date for four months and they agreed. It was great, honestly - I had the security of knowing the job would be there when I got back but I didn’t know anything about it to have it weighing on me during the trip.

    I left my job in September 2022 and traveled for 14 months.

    I returned in December 2023, and it was a rough first few months back. I didn't expect to struggle so much with the transition back to being home. I battled depression. It didn't help that I live in a northern city that gets very dark and grey in the winter, and I was returning just in time for that.

    I also didn't expect my friends and family to be so uninterested in hearing about my experience. I spent a few weeks seeing family after my return and they could not have cared less and acted like I was irresponsible for not working for so long. So what I'm saying is don't expect friends and loved ones to understand or care about your journey if you choose to do this.

    During my travels, I also struggled existentially with the purpose and meaning of what I was doing. You get tired and burnt out. Some days I sat inside and did nothing. Sightseeing gets old real quick, so you need to have a purpose for traveling, or some sort of interest you're pursuing. I also got tired of moving around, so the further into my trip I got, the longer I'd find myself staying in some spots - especially if I liked them.

    Once I returned, I briefly saw a therapist to try and talk through some of the issues I was having mentally and slowly came out of my funk. I found a job about four months after getting back. Granted, I wasn't even looking the first two months. I did put my traveling experience on my resume as a self-improvement sabbatical, and employers seemed to respond to that in a positive way.

    As far as anything I would do differently? Not sure, maybe using more of my down time while traveling to invest in skills that might translate into employment opportunities. But it's hard to do that when your mind is focused on traveling and not thinking about your next career move. The time was mostly a break after leaving a very stressful and toxic job, and I wouldn't give it up for the world. I think about it every day, and I can honestly say that it is one of the best decisions I've ever made.

    #38

    This comes up on career subs pretty often. If you want to travel for 6 months or less and are in a professional role, I would highly suggest asking for a leave of absence. By the time they post your role, find someone and train them, it can easily be 4-6 months, and they would be better to have you back. If you hate your job or your company, then the situation may be different, but even so, a leave of absence will play better than a resume gap. If you want more advice along this line, I am happy to provide it.

    #39

    I have seen this type of thread come up on Reddit over the years. Hardly anyone who quit their job to travel a bit regretted it.

    As for me, I decided between quitting my job to travel and buying a house. I chose the latter and I regret it. Now I have a mortgage tying me down and I have to stay employed or I’m screwed.

    If you’re itching to travel then do it now.

    #40

    Came back 4 months ago, travelled 1 year.

    I didn’t expect to cry a bit when I got home and drove out to the mountains. Realized once again how lucky I am to live in such a gorgeous place.

    Started the job hunt 2 weeks into being back, started in a stellar job 2 weeks later.

    I wouldn’t change a single thing about the trip.

    #41

    Also a software engineer.  I left in 2023 and worked for a charity up in a remote part of the my country for a season, then travelled NZ for 7 months in 2024, working odd jobs and volunteering for accommodation.

    Not going to lie it was rough when I came back and applied for SE jobs again. I got quite depressed feeling like I was unwanted and like I’d made this huge mistake that would cost me my future in this kind of job. I kept telling myself just to keep trying and something would work out - in the end that happened through reaching out to a previous manager and going in for a chat. I rejoined that company and feel settled back in now. 

    Looking back it was absolutely the right decision to leave and travel / experience a different job for a while. I think about NZ daily and I had a great experience travelling. It has also given me a different perspective around work - I used to fantasise about quitting and travelling just to escape my weeks in the office. Now I understand that work is (for most people) an inevitable sacrifice that has to be made, and I feel a lot better equipped now to make the best of my days rather than sulk and daydream.

    Savings wise, it sucked to go basically back to 0, but we’re both in a fortunate position of working in a well-paid job, and with hindsight I would not question the decision to trade savings for the experience of travelling. If you’re thinking about it and the timing feels right for you, sometimes you’ve just got to make the scary decision and trust that ‘future you’ will figure out the situation when you return. Hope you can make it work for yourself, I’m rooting for you!

    #42

    I did this for a little over a year! Got back a couple of months ago and thankfully was able to find work (tech) pretty quickly after.

    I have zero regrets and am so so happy I pulled the trigger! Obviously, i might feel a bit different if I hadn’t been able to find a new job so quickly.

    Traveling has put my savings and retirement behind but it was worth it.

    #43

    I did this for a year after 2023 tech layoffs like others mentioned. I was on a visa and had to leave the states quickly because I couldn’t find another senior design job in 60 days!

    I travelled around Mexico and Colombia and practiced Spanish. By around 8 months I kinda had travel fatigue and got sick of packing up and moving every month or so but I really enjoyed the little friend groups I made at each place.

    Early 30s is a great time to travel. Think of the opportunity cost. You can put off tech burnout and you might not have a hard time going back to work if you are in engineering.

    #44

    I quit my job in 2022 after I turned 30. During Covid I had worked a lot without having major expenses so I saved a lot of money which allowed me to think about travelling.
    Initially my plan was to travel for 3 months and rejoin ( I worked as a psychologist in a school) but I ended up traveling for 1.5 years as I was having the best time of my life.
    Not going to lie, once I got back, it was a bit bleak. I didn't want to continue the job (due to low salary) and it took me some time to figure out my options. I had lots of people tell me to try out in the tourism industry but I didn't want to change my career at the age of 32, which is exactly what I did and right now I am working with a tour company and honestly it's a dream job. So I lucked out.

    My advice here would be, only do it if you have enough money for this with some extra savings for some months after you get back from your travel and know when you are going to get back, you are probably going to be a different person because the entire travel experience changed me. For good.
    I had absolutely no idea what I wanted to do once I got back. I wish I got into tourism immediately rather than waiting for a year. That's something I wish I did differently.



    But I'd say, if you have money, do it. Southeast Asia is especially cheap. And this is a fantastic age to travel.

    #45

    I am currently four months into this myself - been in Japan since April (with a 2-week trip to visit an old buddy in Mongolia) and I’m about to head to Thailand for August then South Korea in September, potentially coming back to Japan in October thru December.

    I’m traveling solo and have found really good deals on long-term stays by contacting expat groups on FB and getting a way cheaper rate than thru Airbnb. I hate checking into and out of hotels constantly, so being in the same apartment for the last two months has helped me avoid feeling like I’m living out of a suitcase. Being able to cook and store food is amazing and don’t ignore that.

    #46

    The first time, no. Six months off after a brutal year of 80+ hr weeks to explore all of South America was worth it. I spent ~$4k/mo.

    The second time... I turned down phenomenal job offers that would've catapulted my career and life forward to backpack Europe, Africa, Asia instead. Not the worst trade, but I gained less and gave up more the second time.

    Get what you can out of travel, but don't let it distract you from building a life to come back to.

    #47

    Quit my job at 37 - had about $175k in cash and owned 4 rental properties that replaced my salary. Wish I could have quit in my 20s, but would never have been able to build that financial parachute. Travel only gets harder as you get older, that much I can say. Even in my late 30s, I'm not willing to put up with certain discomforts that didn't bother me in my 20s, like 16 person hostel dorms lol. I have been going all over the world, but I slow travel now.

    The big thing I want to say though: traveling will not fix you or make you happy if you are depressed or struggling. It actually may be a terrible idea, as it is frequently uncomfortable and challenges you, especially if you are going to countries where you don't speak the language. The good thing about traveling in yours 30s: I'm much more emotionally resilient than I was in my 20s - I've lost a parent, been through some stuff, built a business. A bad trip or experience rolls off me, where I used to take it more to heart in my 20s. It's all part of traveling. Good luck!

    #48

    My wife and I quit our jobs in our early 30s to take a 2 month European honeymoon. It was the trip of a lifetime and my favorite time of my life. No regrets whatsoever.

    #49

    Travel is great. But you’ll take yourself with you. You can change your daily grind to make it more enjoyable while also spending time travelling.

    #50

    No. I did this from 2022-23 and travelled for a little over a year.

    In retrospect, it was just the right time for it. COVID was still lingering somewhat, so over-tourism and inflation hadn't hit like they are now. I saw places like Venice and Angkor Wat with very few tourists.

    There are certainly things I would do differently knowing what I know now, and it did wipe out my savings that I had built during the pandemic. But it allowed me to quit a job that I hated and I don't regret it for a minute. I think about those travel experiences every day and cherish them more than any material possessions.

    #51

    I only regret running out of money and not being in a great position to make a lot more quickly before my bucket list was complete.

    #52

    At the age of 21 I quit a job in telecomms to travel. I was away for 5 years and when I returned home, all my knowledge was outdated, the industry was downsizing. I went back to travel after 18 months of odd jobs and came back with a spouse and kids 3 years after that. That was decades ago and I never really caught up financially with my peers who stayed at home and retired after 30 years or so in their line of work.

    Most retired before the age of 60 whereas I'll be 70 soon and although it's not an absolute necessity, my wife figures she's more comfortable if I put in a few more years, since I don't have a company pension unlike most fo the folks we know. I don't regret my travels but if I had to do it again I figure I might have been better off if I had had a trade that doesn't involve too much technology (nothing changes like tech.) instead of a diploma, and also I wouldn't have stayed away from my home country for so long. When you come back in your field or any new job at the age of 33, there are lots young folks who already have years in with the firm and know their way around and don't mind trying to boss the old person around...

    #53

    I can’t speak to your career field necessarily but I’m all for living your life in a way that actually feels fulfilling rather than just being a part of a machine and waking up when you’re 45 wondering what it’s like to feel alive. Not that travel is the only way to live a fulfilling life, but I have a feeling you’d figure it out.

    #54

    I am doing it right now in my 40s. Left everything behind in storage to travel for 7 months.

    #55

    I quit my job for a year and spent the time traveling, taking classes, starting personal projects, and just doing what I’ve always wanted to do. However, I only felt comfortable doing this because I was solid in my career (8 years). It’s a relatively high-paying career in a specified field that I felt confident I would be able to rejoin after that time off. I could also afford to come in at a role 1-2 levels below and still be fine financially. I also had tens of thousands in savings and a couple hundred thousand in investments, so I also felt confident that I could go even longer without a job in the worst case scenario.

    After ~10 months not working, I started applying. Got several interviews and got a job offer within 1.5 months at a great company. So personally, I would get more work experience under your belt because < 2 years of experience + 6-12 months of voluntary travel essentially relegates you to the same category as inexperienced new grads. And from what I hear, they’re having a terrible time in this current job market.

    #56

    The upside of having a bad job is you've got little to lose by leaving it to go travel.

    #57

    I was laid off and did it. It was great. I just recommend ending your apartment lease if you have one. Looking back I wish I travelled longer if anything and let go of more financial obligations.

    #58

    I quit my job and sold everything to go on a working holiday to NZ and Australia. Plan was 3 years. It's been 6, and I am having a hard time imagining a life outside of Australia at this point.

    #59

    I usually take temporary contracts (6 - 18 months), and travel in between. A few times I've been offered to come back to the job after I've got back from travelling because it's easier for them to give me unpaid leave rather than hire someone new. It's also generally easier to get a temp contract because not as many people apply for those roles.

    #60

    I took a six months leave of absence and went around the world. I told my boss about it a year in advance. As the date got closer they offered me incentives not to go, but no way! They did want me to continue working there, so were supportive.

    This was 1998, so no doubt prices have gone up, but it cost about $22k total! We didn’t stay in fancy places but they mostly were not dumps, either. I miss those days.

    #61

    I left my job and went travelling for 4 months. Zero regrets! I was refused a sabbatical so off I went. It made me rethink what I wanted to do and if it wasn’t for my personal circumstances I’d do it again!

    #62

    My advice, if it's your first time planning a big trip alone, is to be somewhat modest. This isn't about going to the most difficult to get to, most exotic location. You can absolutely have an amazing, life changing experience even if you just road trip within your own country. 


    Be mostly practical in your approach, with a touch of wild dreamer. Ie, if you've never traveled internationally, maybe don't make your first adventure a maze of international travel to ten different countries with all sorts of visa requirements. You're gonna be stressed AF and one little mistake could ruin the trip. Do one country for all three months. Or do a guided multi country thing with a travel agency.


    Be honest with yourself about your comfort level, and remember that this isn't the only time you'll ever have a chance to do this!! Your goal here is to have a good experience, relax, break free of the productivity mindset; if that means staying within your home country to start, that is a great idea. 


    I discovered things I didn't even know existed in my own country, found a new passion, overcame fears, and grew so much as a person without ever crossing a border. If I had tried to plan a gigantic trip overseas to all of the places I've dreamed of visiting, I think I would have had to deal with a lot more anxiety and ultimately not enjoyed it as much. 


    Now that I have built my confidence in my planning skills and the fact that I won't be destitute upon my return, I am working on an international trip. .

    #63

    Yes I did it. Quit my job in a call centre after saving up for a year. I was 24. Left UK in January 1997, returned the following February. Travelled round the world, had a 1 year working visa for Australia (repo man for Radio Rentals; mail clerk in David Jones). Best thing I ever did, and would recommend it. If you hate it, or it’s wrong for you, promise yourself you’ll just come home. But you won’t 🙂.

    #64

    Recommend. A lot will become clear as you do this, and you will return to your career with better priorities.

    #65

    It’s been great. Took 18 months off to travel Asia, spent half of our house down payment fund. Returned to the US last April, landed a job within 4 weeks that I absolutely love. Traveled to El Salvador, Chile, and Ecuador for “normal people” 1-2 week vacations. Closing on a house next month. Life is good.

    #66

    Slightly longer than your requested timeframe. 


    Quit my corporate job in 2018. Lived out of a backpack traveling the world with my wife for 2 years. Came back to USA and lived in a van for a year. Got a job 4 years ago (software developer).


    We got tired of traveling. It's hard to constantly change your home base and always be doing something new in remote places in countries where your not a native. I started to get de sensitized to the amazing things we got to see and do. Today's erupting volcano wasn't as good as the alpine waterfall we saw last week or the rainforest we saw the week before, ect. We needed to slow down and find a better way to have a comfortable home base. Van life solved this for me, would have happily continued to do it if not for COVID. 


    Both my wife and I had jobs within 4 weeks of applying to new positions. Admittedly the market was better in 2021. 


    I don't think I would do much if anything different. If you're willing to take the plunge, there is a wonderful full world out there with endless adventures. It's uncomfortable and challenging at times to navigate it, but when you figure it out, I can't explain how amazing your experiences can be. The good and bad change you and help you grow. I'd rather take the time when I'm younger to go experience the world and new perspectives.

    #67

    I was 31, spent $26k staying out of the US for 8 months. Australia, NZ, SE Asia. Would absolutely do it again in a f*****g heartbeat. Believe people when they say life is short.

    #68

    Quit a bad job in my early 30s, moved to Brazil to live with my girlfriend for almost a year. Was the most incredible year.

    Now married to said woman and working a better job with better people. Eventually going to retire in Brazil (hopefully in under 10 years) and do something fun with my life there.

    I did miss out on a lot of earnings and a little bit of career mobility, but it’ll be a wash in the end. Don’t regret it for a moment.

    #69

    Certainly never great to do this as a new professional in an engineering discipline because there is a lot to learn in the early years to establish your career.

    That said, if you do it extremely early in your career, you’re going to be an entry-level employee either way when you return 🤷‍♂️ Early is often easier than later.

    Le réparateur australien Hugh Jeffreys, connu pour ses vidéos de démontage et ses collaborations avec le site de réparation iFixit, a mis la main sur l'un de ces appareils que les prisons américaines louent à leurs détenus pour accéder à une poignée de services autorisés, et il a voulu savoir ce qu'on avait bien pu cacher à l'intérieur d'un objet aussi verrouillé.

    Le résultat ne paie pas de mine, avec son boîtier en plastique opaque scellé hermétiquement, sa mousse de calage glissée à l'intérieur et sa finition que Jeffreys compare lui-même à un bricolage de travaux manuels de lycée, le tout pensé pour tenir le choc dans un environnement carcéral.

    Screenshot

    Premier souci, l'engin refusait carrément de démarrer, et les quatre pastilles métalliques qui affleurent sur la tranche, pourtant calées sur les broches d'un port USB, ne déclenchaient qu'un clignotement d'une seconde au branchement d'un chargeur avant que tout ne s'éteigne. Aucune vis accessible, aucune ouverture possible. La scie à métaux a donc été le seul moyen d'entrer.

    Une fois la coque ouverte tant bien que mal, le diagnostic est sans appel, puisqu'on découvre une Iview Optimus-C-8001. Une tablette d'entrée de gamme qui fonctionne avec un vieux processeur Intel Atom Z8350 cadencé à 1,44 GHz et épaulé par 2 maigres Go de mémoire vive, soit une configuration déjà poussive le jour de sa sortie et complètement à la ramasse aujourd'hui.

    Screenshot

    Le plus parlant, en fait, se loge du côté du logiciel, parce que la machine tourne sous Windows 10 Home, une édition grand public installée en 2018 qui n'a, semble-t-il, jamais reçu la moindre mise à jour depuis, et qui s'est verrouillée en mode kiosque, ce réglage qui cloisonne l'appareil sur un unique navigateur bridé aux seuls services que la prison veut bien mettre à destination de ses pensionnaires.

    Sauf que le verrouillage s'arrête net à la surface. L'installation de Windows ne comporte aucun chiffrement du disque, c'est-à-dire aucun de ces mécanismes qui rendent les fichiers illisibles tant qu'on ne tape pas le bon mot de passe, si bien qu'une fois le boîtier ouvert et l'appareil rallumé normalement, Jeffreys accède sans la moindre barrière supplémentaire à l'intégralité d'un système qu'on imaginait blindé.

    Détail presque amusant, la tablette a visiblement fini à la poubelle à cause d'une carte de charge tierce défaillante, puisque rebranchée sur son port USB d'origine elle se rechargeait et fonctionnait sans problème. Du matériel jeté pour une broutille, donc.

    Il faut savoir que ces tablettes ne sont pas distribuées par pure bonté, car elles sont louées aux personnes incarcérées, qui doivent souvent payer pour le moindre service rendu, ce qui transforme l'accès au numérique en source de revenus pour les prestataires qui équipent les établissements pénitentiaires américains. Et c'est précisément ça qui rend l'affaire sensible.

    Parce que la vraie question n'est pas la prouesse technique, plutôt limitée vu le niveau de protection rencontré. C'est ce que l'objet raconte, à savoir du matériel bas de gamme scellé à la va-vite et facturé à une population captive au sens propre, au nom d'une sécurité dont on cherche encore les traces. On a connu nettement plus sérieux.

    Le bidouilleur allemand John Engeln en avait assez. Il voulait une petite lampe de bureau qui change de couleur, point, sans dégainer son smartphone pour télécharger une appli et appairer le moindre objet, et plutôt que de suivre la mode du tout-connecté il est allé piocher du côté des années cinquante, dans le cadran rotatif des bons vieux téléphones à roulette.

    La chose tient dans la main, à peine plus grosse qu'un palet de hockey, et mélange du rouge, du vert et du bleu pour composer la teinte que vous voulez selon une logique simple : on fait tourner le diffuseur du dessus dans un sens pour monter en luminosité, dans l'autre pour glisser d'une couleur vers la suivante. Simple, basique, comme dirait l'autre.

    Sous le capot, 32 LED adressables SK6812, c'est-à-dire des diodes pilotables une par une comme les NeoPixels que connaissent bien les bricoleurs, sont commandées par un encodeur rotatif, directement couplé au capot translucide qui sert de molette géante à toute la lampe.

    Le boîtier est imprimé en 3D, posé sur un anneau de TPU, un caoutchouc souple lui aussi imprimable, qui empêche l'objet de valser sur le bureau quand on triture le cadran. L'alimentation passe bêtement par un port USB-C et n'importe quel chargeur 5 volts fera l'affaire. Rien à configurer.

    Et puis il y a le petit bonus caché : le logiciel embarqué planque des modes lumineux dissimulés, des effets qu'on déniche en tâtonnant avec la molette, façon easter egg. Du coup, on a presque envie de jouer avec.

    Côté ouverture, John Engeln n'a rien gardé pour lui. Tout est publié sous licence CERN-OHL-W v2, une licence open source taillée pour le matériel, donc les fichiers de conception et le code sont librement téléchargeables et la puce se reprogramme avec un simple Arduino, de quoi coder vos propres ambiances si vous êtes du genre à vouloir aller plus loin.

    Pour celles et ceux qui n'ont ni imprimante 3D ni l'envie de ressortir le fer à souder, un modèle déjà assemblé existe, avec des cartes produites chez JLCPCB et un assemblage, des tests et un emballage faits en Allemagne, le tout expédié depuis l'Union européenne sans frais de douane à l'arrivée.

    On pourrait hausser les épaules devant une ampoule connectée vendue trois fois rien, sauf que voilà, redonner du tactile et un brin de plaisir mécanique à un objet aussi banal qu'une lampe, ça fait un bien fou par les temps qui courent.

    Comment rester le même quand on vient de révolutionner un genre ? C’est sans doute la question qu’a dû se poser le désormais ex-candidat à la présidentielle François Ruffin après l’immense succès de Picardie Splendor aux éditions Les Arènes, une fresque tout en finesse dans laquelle François Ruffin sauve les gens de leur quotidien morose et de leur lâcheté intrinsèque. Selon ses proches, le président de « Debout ! » aurait déjà débuté la rédaction d’une trilogie dans laquelle le héros (SuperRuffin) parvient à empêcher le déclenchement de la Troisième Guerre Mondiale avant de résoudre le conflit au Moyen-Orient et de mettre fin à la guerre en Ukraine grâce à la création de « L’Internationale des gens qui puent un peu sous les bras ».

    Une fresque réaliste

    Même s’il n’a pas encore rédigé la fin, le député pencherait pour un grand meeting de SuperRuffin retransmis dans le monde entier qui réconcilierait définitivement tous les humains et installerait la paix dans le monde pour l’éternité. Interrogé, le réalisateur de « Merci Patron ! » préfère rester modeste malgré le succès : « Mon but est d’éviter la surenchère propre à la campagne présidentielle, je veux décrire le monde tel qu’il est dans sa réalité brute tout en trouvant des solutions raisonnables pour l’améliorer. »

    Ce n’est pas la première fois qu’un candidat renonce à la présidentielle au nom de l’art. En 2017, déjà, François Hollande avait annoncé qu’il ne se présenterait pas pour mieux se consacrer à l’humour.

    Ce n’est pas la première fois qu’un candidat renonce à la présidentielle au nom de l’art. En 2017, déjà, François Hollande avait annoncé qu’il ne se présenterait pas pour mieux se consacrer à l’humour.

    Google a-t-il une offre qualifiable de « plate-forme DevSecOps » ?

    Gartner considère que oui. Il l’a d’ailleurs classé dans le Magic Quadrant consacré à ce segment de marché. C’en est la quatrième édition… mais la première à intégrer la composante sécurité dans son intitulé – auparavant, le cabinet américain s’en tenait au DevOps – et dans la liste des critères obligatoires. Il fallait, en l’occurrence, pouvoir orchestrer des fonctionnalités telles que l’analyse de code, la modélisation des menaces et la protection des API.

    Google avait figuré dans la première édition (2023). Il avait ensuite disparu des tablettes, faute de proposer une offre relevant de la plate-forme. Gartner estime que les choses ont changé. Pas radicalement, néanmoins : on est plutôt sur une « collection d’outils »* pas spécifiquement conçus pour le DevSecOps et combinés sans stratégie produit globale.

    Dans ce contexte, Google se positionne parmi les « acteurs de niche ». Il côtoie, dans cette zone du Magic Quadrant, Buildkite, CircleCI, CloudBees, JetBrains et Octopus, qui y étaient déjà tous l’an dernier. Ainsi qu’OpenText, qui fait quant à lui partie des nouveaux entrants. Comme IBM et HCLSoftware, classés pour leur part chez les « visionnaires ».

    Plates-forme DevSecOps : 13 fournisseurs, 4 « leaders »

    Selon la terminologie du Magic Quadrant, sont « visionnaires » les fournisseurs qui se trouvent dans la partie basse sur l’axe dit « exécution »… et dans la partie haute sur celui dit « vision ». Le premier traduit la capacité à répondre à la demande (expérience client, tarification, qualité des produits/services…). Le second reflète les stratégies (ventes, innovation, déploiement sectoriel et géographique…). Les offreurs au positionnement inverse sont dits « challengers ». Ceux suffisamment bien placés sur les deux axes sont « leaders ». À l’opposé, il y a les « acteurs de niche ».

    La situation sur l’axe « exécution » :

    Rang Fournisseur Évolution annuelle
    1 Atlassian =
    2 Harness =
    3 GitLab =
    4 Microsoft =
    5 HCLSoftware nouvel entrant
    6 Buildkite + 1
    7 CloudBees + 1
    8 IBM nouvel entrant
    9 Octopus – 3
    10 Google nouvel entrant
    11 JetBrains – 2
    12 CircleCI -2
    13 OpenText nouvel entrant

    Sur l’axe « vision » :

    Rang Fournisseur Évolution annuelle
    1 Harness + 1
    2 Microsoft + 3
    3 GitLab =
    4 Atlassian – 3
    5 IBM nouvel entrant
    6 HCLSoftware nouvel entrant
    7 CloudBees =
    8 Google nouvel entrant
    9 OpenText nouvel entrant
    10 Buildkite – 4
    11 JetBrains – 1
    12 CircleCI – 4
    13 Octopus – 4

    Les quatre « leaders » de l’an dernier le restent :

    • Atlassian (progresse en exécution, recule en vision)
    • GitLab (progresse en exécution, stable en vision)
    • Harness (progresse sur les deux axes)
    • Microsoft (progresse sur les deux axes)

    Atlassian a acté la fin de l’option on-prem

    Gartner apprécie les SLA et le niveau de sécurité de l’offre SaaS d’Atlassian, ainsi que les options de résidence des données. Il salue le niveau d’unification de la plate-forme, tout comme la diffusion de l’IA en son sein et sa capacité à répondre aux besoins des différentes parties prenantes du SDLC.

    Quoique techniquement unifiée, la plate-forme ne l’est pas sur le plan commercial – pas de SKU unique – sauf pour les plus gros clients. Atlassian propose par ailleurs moins de briques de sécurité natives que les autres « leaders ». Il est aussi le seul à ne pas avoir d’option viable pour qui a besoin d’une solution sur site, affirme Gartner. En toile de fond, l’annonce, l’an dernier, de la fin de la gamme Datacenter pour 2029, sauf Align et Bitbucket.

    Chez GitLab, une restructuration qui laisse des traces

    Chez GitLab, SaaS et on-prem sont à parité fonctionnelle, y compris pour les composantes IA. Ses SLA ont été renforcés, égalant voire dépassant ceux de la concurrence. Il propose globalement, en natif, la plupart des capacités qu’on peut attendre d’une plate-forme DevSecOps, d’après Gartner.

    Au contraire d’Atlassian, GitLab manque d’une empreinte d’ensemble sur le SDLC, au-delà des métiers de l’ingénierie logicielle. Son business indirect délivre des résultats limités sur la plaque Asie-Pacifique et la restructuration récemment engagée au nom de l’IA ne suscite pas l’adhésion de tous ses employés.

    Harness, pas au niveau de la concurrence sur les SLA

    Harness parvient à intégrer efficacement les solutions open source, mais aussi les entreprises qu’il acquiert. Gartner salue sa proposition de valeur sur la sécurité, le MLOps et l’IA agentique. Il apprécie aussi l’approche de vente modulaire de la plate-forme.

    En fonctions des géographiques, les services et le support que fournissent les partenaires s’avère inégal. Les SLA n’atteignent pas ceux de la concurrence, que ce soit sur la disponibilité ou le temps de réponse. Le marketing de Harness demeure par ailleurs assez éloigné de la population des cadres dirigeants (C-suite).

    Sur GitHub, Microsoft priorise l’IA au cœur fonctionnel

    Au-delà de sa présence mondiale (ventes, support, R&D, datacenters…) et plus généralement de la viabilité de son activité, Microsoft a su constituer un vaste écosystème autour de son offre. Gartner la juge fonctionnellement riche, tout en notant les passerelles établies avec d’autres solutions DevSecOps. Il salue aussi la manière dont l’IA s’y diffuse.

    Ce focus sur l’IA a tendance à ralentir la cadence d’innovation sur le cœur fonctionnel de GitHub. En parallèle, la transition du modèle au siège vers la facturation à l’usage complique la gestion des coûts. Et l’offre Azure DevOps reste au catalogue, imposant d’évaluer la complémentarité et/ou les chevauchements avec GitHub.

    Sometimes, we see people in toxic relationships and wonder why they stay despite all the trouble. The truth is that we can’t really judge anyone, as we don’t know the internal affairs. Despite that, watching the victims finally walk away can feel like our own victory.

    Speaking of such couples, this woman didn’t even realize that she was stuck in an emotionally violent relationship. Her boyfriend of 7 months was so jealous that he made ridiculous rules to control her whole life, until she felt like she was going crazy. Here’s how she finally stood up for herself…

That’s why he made a long list of ridiculous rules about what, when, and how much she could talk with her guy friends.

    It also included things she could wear, what she said, how she lived, and you get the gist. Basically, he wanted to control every aspect of her life. As if this was not enough, things exploded because she often chatted with her close friend, “James.” In fact, Peter manipulated and gaslit her so much that the poor woman started to believe she was an awful girlfriend.

    Not only did they have constant arguments and fights, but she also lost good friends because of his jealousy. Peter turned her whole life into a nightmare, as anything she did on her own would upset him. However, things got heated when she noticed that he was being a hypocrite. While he banned her from talking to her ex, he was exchanging flirtatious texts with his ex, and the OP was utterly upset.

    After months of suffering, the author did eventually dump him, despite his protests that he would “change.” Even while breaking up, he accused her of being inappropriate with her guy friends. That’s when she knew she had made the right decision, but healing was still very difficult. Delightfully enough, she gave an update 2 years later, saying her life had turned for the better after ditching him.

    Netizens were delighted by the poster’s joyful ending, but also expressed their sympathy that she had to go through the trauma in the first place. Sadly, a study revealed that 40% of women in their survey reported expressive aggression and 41% reported coercive control. It further stressed that the effects of emotional violence were just as detrimental as the effects of physical mistreatment. 

    Moreover, researchers highlight that victims of psychological cruelty almost lose their identity and emotional security, which breeds anxiety and fear. They add that “it takes away the wonderful, positive characteristics of their nature and seeks to replace them with false truths and negative images. It attempts to hijack the personal power and sense of self for the benefit and control of the manipulator.”

    We can’t even begin to imagine what the original poster went through in those few months. Experts emphasize that experiencing emotional cruelty is difficult, but recovering from it can also be pretty challenging. Some survivors may experience PTSD, constant fear, or even feel that they are always on edge, but therapy definitely helps them deal with this difficult process.

    Well, I am glad that the author sought professional help and got better. I think that even netizens heaved a huge sigh of relief after knowing that she was doing so well in life after leaving him. It just goes to show that no matter how tough, humans can overcome anything they set their mind to, right? What are your thoughts about the story? Feel free to drop them in the comments section!

    La France a chaud et les records de température ne cessent d’être battus, au point que Météo France a placé 50 départements en vigilance « au secours ! » aujourd’hui et mercredi sachant que l’alerte pourrait se prolonger bien au-delà. Les autres départements restent pour l’instant en vigilance « ça s’arrête quand ? ». Pour la climatologue Valérie Masson-Delmotte, ce n’est que le début et il faut s’attendre pour cet été à d’autres épisodes du même acabit, voire plus chauds : « Je pense que le mois d’août sera le plus chaud jamais enregistré, il y aura sans doute des départements en alerte « ouh là là ça brûle ! » voire « donnez-moi de l’eau ou je vous abats ! ».

    Un avenir étouffant

    Selon elle, les épisodes que l’on traverse actuellement ne sont qu’un tout petit aperçu de ce que nous allons vivre dans les prochaines années et ce qu’on appelle canicule aujourd’hui pourrait être considéré comme une vague de froid dans une vingtaine d’années. Les températures ressenties pourraient avoisiner d’ici 2050 les « pitié plus jamais ça ! » et déclencher l’alerte « dernier avertissement avant l’Apocalypse ». 

    Malgré le caractère exceptionnel des vagues de chaleurs auxquelles est confronté l’hexagone, Michel H a tenu à rappeler sur X que « ça sert à rien de chouiner, oui, il fait chaud, ça s’appelle l’été, en 76 on n’en a pas fait tout un plat. »

    from Korben

    Quand vous demandez à un assistant IA de corriger une faille dans une de vos dépendances, il vous propose presque toujours la même chose : ajouter ce qu'on appelle un "override", une ligne de configuration qui force votre projet à utiliser une version saine d'une brique logicielle.

    Le conseil semble bon sur le moment. Mais voilà, personne ne vous dit jamais de revenir vérifier, six mois plus tard, que cette ligne sert encore à quelque chose.

    C'est précisément le trou que vient boucher CVE Lite CLI , un scanner gratuit et open source développé par Sonu Kapoor et adoubé par l'OWASP, la fondation qui fait référence en sécurité des applications. Cet outil a l'avantage de tourner en local, sans compte ni cloud, et sans qu'une seule ligne de votre code ne quitte votre machine.

    Le problème qu'il cible est très simple. Une dépendance dite transitive, c'est une brique dont dépend une autre brique que vous, vous avez installée : vous ne l'avez jamais choisie vous-même, mais elle se retrouve quand même embarquée dans votre projet. Pour neutraliser une faille planquée là-dedans, on force une version corrigée via un override. Le souci, c'est que cette rustine vieillit toute seule, dans votre dos.

    Kapoor a du coup ajouté une fonction qui audite ces configurations et débusque trois cas de figure : l'override pointe vers un paquet qui n'existe tout simplement plus, il s'applique au mauvais gestionnaire de paquets, ou il utilise un motif de caractères (une sorte de joker censé attraper plusieurs chemins d'un coup) qui en réalité ne correspond à rien. Dans tous ces cas vous vous croyez protégé alors que la protection est tombée depuis un moment.

    Pour le prouver, il a passé quatre projets JavaScript très utilisés au crible, et les résultats sont parlants. Cal.com en alignait 90, dont 11 complètement inopérants ; Jest traînait une configuration qui pointait dans le vide ; NoCoDB empilait des jokers inefficaces ; seul Next.js s'en sortait sans le moindre défaut.

    Entre l'affaire node-ipc de 2022, où un développeur avait lui-même saboté son propre paquet par militantisme, et la vague d'attaques Shai-Hulud de ces derniers mois, un ver qui se réplique tout seul en volant les jetons d'accès des développeurs sur npm pour contaminer au passage tous leurs autres paquets, l'écosystème JavaScript prend cher. Et un override mort, c'est une porte qu'on croyait verrouillée.

    Ce qui est amusant, c'est que l'outil censé rattraper les approximations des IA est, lui, volontairement dépourvu de toute IA. Il interroge sagement une base de vulnérabilités connues et vous recrache des commandes prêtes à copier-coller, sans deviner quoi que ce soit.

    Quoi qu'il en soit, on a là un petit outil tout bête qui repasse derrière l'IA, et franchement, ça rassure.

    Ce qu'il faut retenir :

    • • Sébastien Missoffe, directeur général de Google France, a annoncé vouloir lancer les AI Overviews en France « dans les prochains mois », et « dès 2026 » si possible.
    • Le blocage était juridique : la loi française sur les droits voisins complique la réutilisation de contenus de presse sans compensation.
    • Les AI Overviews affichent une réponse générée par Gemini directement dans les résultats, avant même les liens vers les sites.
    • Les médias français craignent une perte de trafic significative, même si Google assure que ce n'est pas ce qui s'est produit dans les autres pays.

    Les raisons de l’attente en France

    Déployé dans plus de 200 pays et disponible de 40 langues, les AI Overviews, initialement présentés lors de la Google I/O de 2024 sont attendus de longue date en France.

    La raison du retard français n'est pas technique, mais d'ordre purement juridique, et il s'articule autour d'une notion précise : les droits voisins.

    Depuis 2019, la loi française impose en effet aux plateformes numériques de rémunérer les éditeurs de presse lorsqu'elles réutilisent leurs contenus. Or, un résumé généré par une IA qui s'appuie sur des articles de presse pour produire une réponse, sans renvoyer de trafic vers les sites sources, pose un problème évident au regard de ce cadre légal.

    La situation s'est tendue en mars 2024, quand l'Autorité de la concurrence a infligé une amende de 250 millions d'euros à Google pour avoir utilisé des contenus de presse française afin d'entraîner Gemini, sans accord préalable.

    Interrogé par Ouest-France le 21 juin, Sébastien Missoffe se dit confiant. Il indique que Google France mène des « discussions constructives avec l'Autorité de la concurrence » pour lever ces obstacles réglementaires, et résume ainsi l'enjeu : « Il faut trouver un équilibre : l'intelligence artificielle est trop importante pour ne pas être régulée, sans pour autant construire des murs qui freinent le progrès ou la compétitivité des entreprises européennes. »

    Google a également commencé à tester son « Mode AI ». En bref, tout est en place. Il ne manque plus qu'à appuyer sur le bouton vert (ou rouge selon votre sensibilité sur le sujet). Quand ? En 2026 peut-être, comme l'espère Sébastien Missoffe, mais il n'est pas possible de donner de date précise pour le moment.

    Quid des médias et des éditeurs ?

    C'est là que les tensions sont les plus vives. Si les utilisateurs obtiennent leurs réponses directement sur la page Google sans cliquer sur les articles, les médias perdent mécaniquement des visites, et donc des revenus publicitaires.

    Arthur Gregg Sulzberger, le patron du New York Times, a exprimé cette inquiétude sans détour lors du congrès mondial des médias à Marseille il y a quelques semaines, évoquant « un vol sans scrupule » et accusant les entreprises d'IA de « piller les sites d'information sans autorisation ni compensation ».

    Sébastien Missoffe, qui était présent à ce congrès, souligne que sur les requêtes d'actualité, les résumés Overviews apparaissent peu et que Google « continue à mettre en avant les différents points de vue des médias, avec des liens ». Il a également rappelé que Google verse chaque année des dizaines de millions d'euros au titre des droits voisins en France, et que depuis septembre 2023, les éditeurs peuvent choisir via Google Extended si leurs contenus peuvent ou non être utilisés pour entraîner Gemini.

    Ces arguments peinent encore à convaincre tous les acteurs du secteur. Ce qui est certain, c'est que l'arrivée des AI Overviews en France va représenter un tournant majeur pour l'ensemble du secteur de l'information en ligne.

    L’article "Les AI Overviews de Google vont enfin débarquer en France" a été publié sur le site Abondance.

    Vos concurrents ne sont pas forcément ceux que vous croyez. Sur Google, ceux qui captent votre trafic ne vendent pas toujours le même produit que vous. Ils ont juste compris une chose que vous n’avez peut-être pas encore mesurée : selon Ahrefs (107 SEO Statistics for 2026), 96,55% des pages web ne reçoivent aucun trafic organique depuis Google. Autrement dit, la quasi-totalité du web est invisible. Une poignée de pages rafle tout. L’analyse concurrentielle SEO sert exactement à ça : comprendre qui occupe cette poignée de places, et construire le plan pour les y rejoindre. Ce n’est pas de l’espionnage. C’est poser des fondations data avant de viser le sommet de la SERP. Des racines solides pour des ambitions élevées. Chez Brioude, on aborde ce travail avec une règle simple : plus de datas, moins de blabla. Analyse concurrentielle SEO : de quoi parle-t-on vraiment Définition : étudier qui capte votre trafic, pas qui vend la même chose L’analyse concurrentielle SEO consiste à étudier les sites qui se positionnent sur vos requêtes cibles, pour comprendre pourquoi ils rankent et identifier les leviers pour passer devant eux. Notez la nuance : on parle de requêtes, pas de produits. Votre concurrent SEO, c’est celui qui occupe la première page quand un prospect tape une question liée à votre activité. Il peut s’agir d’un média, d’un blog spécialisé ou d’un comparateur, pas seulement d’un rival commercial direct. Avant de comparer votre site à ceux des autres, encore faut-il connaître le vôtre. Un audit SEO complet de votre propre site donne le référentiel : vos positions actuelles, vos pages fortes, vos faiblesses techniques. Sans ce point zéro, la comparaison ne veut rien dire. Pourquoi 96,55% des pages restent invisibles sur Google Ce chiffre mérite qu’on s’y arrête. 96,55% des pages publiées ne génèrent aucune visite organique (Ahrefs, 107 SEO Statistics for 2026). Ce n’est pas un problème de volume de contenu, c’est un problème de compétition. Google trie. Sur chaque requête, il classe, et seuls les premiers existent vraiment. Le reste du web tourne à vide. Avec 90,39% de part de marché mondiale des moteurs de recherche tous appareils confondus (StatCounter, cité par Ahrefs en 2026), Google reste l’arbitre quasi unique de cette visibilité. L’analyse concurrentielle ne sert donc pas à faire joli dans un reporting. Elle répond à une question brutale : que font précisément les pages qui survivent au tri, et que vous ne faites pas encore. Concurrents business vs concurrents SEO : ne pas confondre les deux Votre concurrent business vous prend des clients. Votre concurrent SEO vous prend des positions. Les deux se recoupent parfois, mais pas toujours. Un exemple concret. Vous vendez un logiciel de gestion. Votre rival commercial direct est un autre éditeur. Mais sur la requête « comment choisir un logiciel de gestion », c’est peut-être un blog indépendant ou un média qui truste le top 3. Ce média ne vous vole aucune vente directement, mais il capte l’audience qui devrait atterrir chez vous. Confondre les deux, c’est se battre contre les mauvaises cibles. La première étape consiste à séparer proprement ces deux familles. Cartographier vos vrais concurrents SEO Identifier les sites qui se positionnent sur vos requêtes cibles La méthode est directe. Vous partez de vos requêtes stratégiques, celles qui comptent pour votre activité, et vous regardez qui occupe le top 10 sur chacune. Un outil comme Semrush, Ahrefs ou Ranxplorer le fait à grande échelle : vous entrez votre domaine, l’outil remonte les domaines avec qui vous partagez le plus de mots-clés. La Search Console complète le tableau en montrant les requêtes sur lesquelles vous apparaissez déjà, même en page 2 ou 3. L’objectif n’est pas de lister tout le marché. C’est d’isoler les sites qui apparaissent de façon récurrente sur vos requêtes cibles. Ceux-là sont vos vrais concurrents organiques. Concurrents directs, indirects et pure players de contenu Une fois la liste brute obtenue, classez-la en trois familles. Les concurrents directs : même offre, même cible, et bien positionnés. Ce sont vos rivaux frontaux, ceux qu’il faut surveiller en priorité. Les concurrents indirects : offre différente mais audience commune. Ils captent des prospects en amont, souvent sur des requêtes informationnelles. Les pure players de contenu : médias, blogs, comparateurs, annuaires. Ils ne vendent rien de comparable, mais ils dominent les requêtes informationnelles de votre secteur. Les ignorer serait une erreur : ce sont eux qui interceptent l’audience la plus haute dans le tunnel. Construire votre liste de référence (5 à 10 concurrents max) Résistez à la tentation d’analyser trente sites. Une bonne liste de référence tient en 5 à 10 concurrents maximum. Le critère de sélection : la fréquence d’apparition sur vos requêtes cibles, croisée avec la pertinence stratégique. Un site qui rank une fois par hasard n’a pas sa place. Un site présent sur 40% de vos requêtes prioritaires, oui. Cette liste devient votre panel de comparaison pour tout le reste de l’analyse. Connaître finement son marché, c’est la condition pour ensuite viser plus large. La proximité d’abord, l’ambition globale ensuite. Analyser les mots-clés et la gap analysis Repérer les mots-clés communs et votre part de voix Premier travail : la zone de chevauchement. Quels mots-clés partagez-vous avec vos concurrents de référence, et qui se positionne le mieux dessus. C’est votre part de voix. Sur 100 requêtes communes, combien remportez-vous en top 3, combien leur reviennent. Ce ratio est un indicateur de santé brutal et honnête. Il dit où vous tenez la dragée haute, et où vous vous faites distancer. La part de voix se mesure dans le temps. Une photo à un instant T ne vaut rien. C’est l’évolution mois après mois qui raconte si votre trajectoire monte ou s’effrite. La gap analysis : trouver les requêtes où ils rankent et pas vous La gap analysis est le coeur du réacteur. C’est elle qui transforme l’analyse en plan d’action. Le principe : isoler les requêtes sur lesquelles vos concurrents se positionnent et pas vous. Ce sont vos angles morts. Des sujets à fort potentiel que vous n’avez pas encore traités, ou mal traités. La plupart des outils SEO proposent une fonction de comparaison de domaines qui sort cette liste en quelques clics. Chaque trou identifié est une opportunité. Mais toutes ne se valent pas. La position 1 organique capte en moyenne 27,6% des clics selon l’étude Backlinko sur 4 millions de résultats Google (1 312 881 pages, 12 166 560 requêtes analysées). Au-delà du top 3, le CTR s’effondre. Conclusion pratique : une requête où votre concurrent est 1er et vous absent vaut bien plus qu’une requête où vous êtes déjà 4e. La gap analysis sans cette lecture du CTR reste un inventaire stérile. Détecter les mots-clés perdus et les nouvelles cibles L’analyse fonctionne dans les deux sens. Regardez aussi les mots-clés que vous avez perdus : ces positions que vous teniez et qui ont glissé, souvent au profit d’un concurrent identifié. Un mot-clé perdu signale soit un contenu qui a vieilli, soit un concurrent qui a frappé plus fort. Dans les deux cas, c’est une alerte à traiter vite, car récupérer une position connue coûte souvent moins cher que d’en conquérir une neuve. À l’inverse, surveillez les mots-clés émergents sur lesquels vos concurrents commencent à se positionner. Ce sont les nouvelles cibles, les tendances de marché avant qu’elles ne deviennent saturées. Être tôt sur une requête montante, c’est prendre le terrain avant la bataille. Décrypter contenu, backlinks et signaux techniques Évaluer la qualité et le format des contenus qui rankent Savoir sur quoi vos concurrents rankent ne suffit pas. Il faut comprendre comment. Ouvrez les pages qui occupent le top 3 sur vos requêtes cibles et disséquez-les. Longueur du contenu, structure des titres, format (guide, comparatif, page produit, FAQ), profondeur de traitement, présence de données, de visuels, de schémas. Le format qui rank n’est pas un hasard : il correspond à l’intention de recherche que Google a validée sur cette requête. Si tous vos concurrents traitent une requête par un guide de 2 500 mots structuré et que vous répondez par une fiche produit de 300 mots, vous avez votre réponse. Le contenu qui gagne n’est pas le plus long, c’est le plus aligné avec l’intention. Analyser le profil de backlinks et la stratégie de netlinking Le contenu ouvre la porte, l’autorité la maintient ouverte. C’est là qu’intervient l’analyse des backlinks. Pour chaque concurrent de référence, mesurez le volume de domaines référents, leur qualité, et les types de liens obtenus. Les outils SEO permettent de voir d’où viennent leurs liens : presse, partenariats, annuaires, articles invités, mentions naturelles. Ce profil révèle leur stratégie de netlinking et les sites qui font autorité dans votre secteur. L’intérêt est double. Vous mesurez l’écart d’autorité à combler, et vous repérez des sources de liens accessibles : si un domaine pointe vers trois de vos concurrents, il y a de fortes chances qu’il accepte aussi de pointer vers vous. Vitesse, mobile et structure : les signaux techniques à comparer Dernier bloc, souvent négligé par les concurrents : la technique. Comparez la vitesse de chargement, l’expérience mobile, la structure des URLs et le maillage interne. Les Core Web Vitals, le temps de chargement et la qualité de l’affichage mobile sont des signaux que Google intègre dans son classement. Un concurrent plus rapide et mieux structuré que vous part avec un avantage, à contenu égal. C’est aussi le terrain où les écarts se comblent vite. Optimiser sa vitesse ou corriger sa structure mobile relève de chantiers techniques bornés, pas d’une bataille de contenu au long cours. D’où l’intérêt de bien identifier ces écarts pour les prioriser correctement, ce qui nous amène à l’étape décisive. De la data à l’action : prioriser pour dépasser vos rivaux Trier les opportunités par impact et effort C’est ici que la plupart des analyses concurrentielles s’arrêtent, et c’est ici que tout se joue. Collecter la data ne sert à rien si vous ne savez pas par quoi commencer. La méthode tient sur deux axes : l’impact et l’effort. Pour chaque opportunité issue de votre gap analysis, posez deux questions. Quel gain de trafic ou de conversion potentiel (l’impact). Quelle charge de travail nécessaire (l’effort). Croisez les deux et vous obtenez une grille de priorisation lisible. Souvenez-vous du CTR : une requête où un concurrent est 1er pèse plus lourd dans la colonne impact. Le volume de recherche, la difficulté concurrentielle et la valeur business de la requête complètent l’évaluation. La data brute devient alors une histoire à raconter, une feuille de route. Quick wins vs chantiers de fond : par où commencer De cette grille émergent deux familles d’actions. Les quick wins : fort impact, faible effort. Une page qui plafonne en position 4 ou 5 et qu’un enrichissement de contenu peut hisser dans le top 3. Une balise title à optimiser. Un lien interne à ajouter. Ces actions se lancent immédiatement et donnent des résultats rapides, utiles pour embarquer une équipe ou un client. Les chantiers de fond : fort impact, fort effort. Construire l’autorité sur un cluster entier de requêtes, refondre une architecture, lancer une campagne de netlinking. Ces chantiers paient sur plusieurs mois, mais ce sont eux qui creusent l’écart durablement. La règle Brioude : on attaque les quick wins pour le momentum, on lance les chantiers de fond en parallèle pour la trajectoire. Google impose, on dispose. Les robots vous trouvent, les prospects vous choisissent. Définir une fréquence de suivi et mesurer votre progression Une analyse concurrentielle n’est pas un one-shot. Le marché bouge, les concurrents publient, Google met à jour. Un rythme de relecture tous les 3 à 6 mois constitue une base saine (fréquence recoupée dans les références sectorielles, Journal du Geek en 2025). Entre deux analyses complètes, suivez les indicateurs clés : évolution de la part de voix, gains et pertes de positions, progression sur les requêtes prioritaires. Un reporting SEO pour suivre vos performances structuré transforme ces relevés en pilotage continu, pas en constat a posteriori. Mesurer, c’est savoir si l’on gagne du terrain. Sans suivi, vous repartez de zéro à chaque cycle. Analyse concurrentielle SEO en 2026 : l’IA change la donne AI Overviews et chute du CTR organique : ce qui change Voici le sujet que presque personne ne traite, et qui change pourtant tout. Les AI Overviews de Google, ces réponses générées en haut de la SERP, redistribuent les clics. Les chiffres sont sans appel. Le CTR organique sur les requêtes avec AI Overviews est tombé à 0,61% en septembre 2025, contre 1,76% en juin 2024, soit une chute de 61% (Seer Interactive, cité par Ahrefs en 2026). Sur ces requêtes, Google répond directement et l’internaute ne clique plus. Pour l’analyse concurrentielle, l’implication est concrète. Sur les requêtes à IA, être 1er ne suffit plus à garantir le trafic d’hier. Il faut désormais segmenter : quelles de vos requêtes cibles déclenchent un AI Overview, quelles requêtes restent des SERP classiques à fort CTR. Cette lecture redessine entièrement la grille de priorisation. Surveiller votre visibilité dans les moteurs génératifs Le terrain de jeu s’élargit au-delà de Google. ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini et les moteurs génératifs deviennent des points d’entrée où vos concurrents peuvent être cités… ou pas. La question n’est plus seulement « qui rank sur Google », mais « qui est cité par les moteurs de réponse ». Surveiller sa visibilité générative, c’est vérifier si votre marque et vos contenus apparaissent dans les réponses IA sur vos requêtes stratégiques, et identifier quels concurrents y sont déjà installés. C’est un chantier neuf, encore mal outillé, où les positions ne sont pas figées. Raison de plus pour s’y intéresser tôt, avant que vos concurrents ne verrouillent le terrain comme ils l’ont fait sur la SERP classique. L’approche data-driven Brioude : plus de datas, moins de blabla La plupart des contenus sur l’analyse concurrentielle SEO énoncent des principes sans jamais chiffrer l’enjeu, sans prioriser les actions, et sans dire un mot de l’IA dans la SERP. C’est exactement là où nous prenons le contre-pied. Chez Brioude, l’analyse concurrentielle n’accouche pas d’un PDF de constats. Elle accouche d’un plan d’action priorisé, chiffré et suivi. Cette méthode produit des résultats mesurables : sur nos accompagnements, nous avons constaté jusqu’à +121% de mots-clés positionnés en top 3 et +41% de conversions. Des racines solides, des ambitions élevées, et des datas qui parlent. Connaître finement son marché local pour viser une visibilité globale : c’est tout l’esprit du Global Digital Village. La gap analysis transforme la proximité en ambition. Passez de l’analyse à la première page Cartographier ses concurrents, exploiter la gap analysis, prioriser par impact et effort, intégrer la lecture 2026 de la SERP : l’analyse concurrentielle SEO est un métier de stratèges et d’artisans, de conseillers et de bâtisseurs. Brioude ne vous livre pas un rapport, mais un plan d’action priorisé pour passer devant vos rivaux. Vous visez le sommet de la SERP, nous posons les fondations data pour y arriver. Parlons de votre analyse concurrentielle SEO et construisons ensemble votre trajectoire vers la première page.

    Je ne sais pas si vous manipulez souvent des fichiers CSV, mais sans savoir coder, en tirer un graphique correct, c'est souvent la croix et la bannière !

    Excel nous sort en général un camembert tristoune qui pue comme un vrai, et les outils de dataviz exigent que vous sachiez bidouiller du D3.js. Heureusement, RawGraphs se glisse pile dans ce trou, et propose une appli web gratuite et open source développée par le DensityDesign Lab du Politecnico di Milano, épaulé par les studios Calibro et Inmagik.

    C'est un super outil pour les utilisateurs d'Excel ou de Google Sheets, qui ont envie de plus de liberté ou qui souhaitent rester le seuls propriétaires de leurs données sans avoir à pisser une seule ligne de code.

    Le principe est simpeuuuul. Vous balancez vos données, un CSV, un TSV, un JSON ou un copier-coller depuis Google Sheets, vous choisissez un modèle parmi la trentaine proposée, vous glissez vos colonnes sur les variables du graphe puis vous exportez ! Et voilà, vous obtenez un graph parfait en SVG ou PNG, sans rien installer !

    Tout est calculé en local, dans votre onglet, et rien ne part sur un serveur, ce qui nous change d'outils comme Datawrapper ou Flourish (ce sont des SaaS) qui captent toutes vos données sur leurs serveurs.

    Et puis RawGraphs sait faire les graphiques que votre tableur ne fera jamais. Comme il est construit au-dessus de D3.js, il vous pond des diagrammes alluviaux, des sankey, des beeswarm, des streamgraphs, des treemaps, des voronoi...etc... Vous n'avez rien compris ? C'est normal ! A vous de choisir le graph qui vous plait le plus parmi une trentaine de modèles au total.

    Il n'a donc rien à envier aux classiques du genre et surtout, il va beaucoup plus loin avec notamment un export en SVG, que vous pourrez ensuite ouvrir et peaufiner dans Illustrator, Inkscape ou Figma.

    Et si vous doutiez du sérieux du machin, sachez qu'il traîne dans la boîte à outils d'investigation de Bellingcat . Hé oui, les journalistes d'investigation s'en servent pour rendre lisibles les montagnes de données qu'ils collectent. Ce serait bien utile, par exemple, pour faire une dataviz des notes de frais de Laurent Wauquiez ... Ahaha !

    C'est par exemple avec un diagramme alluvial fait sous RawGraphs qu'un journaliste a permis à tous de visualiser une partie des Panama Papers, ces flux entre sociétés offshore et leurs vrais propriétaires. Bref, transformer n'importe quel tableau bancaire imbuvable en schéma que n'importe qui peut comprendre, c'est ça la came de RawGraphs !

    Maintenant, si vous voulez vous en servir, pensez à préparer le terrain, avec un coup de Grist pour structurer vos données ou de xan pour nettoyer vos CSV en ligne de commande pour démarrer sur RawGraphs avec un fichier propre prêt à mapper. Les amateurs de terminal pur préféreront quand à eux youplot je pense... Mais pour du graphe présentable, l'interface de RawGraphs reste imbattable.

    Le projet est sous licence Apache 2.0, gratuit et le mieux pour vous faire un avis, c'est évidemment de le tester vous-même.

    Ayant « des années de stock » en DDR2, Raspberry Pi garantit que les prix de ses cartes d’anciennes générations n’augmenteront pas.

    L’entreprise avait pris cet engagement en début d’année. Jusque-là, elle a tenu promesse. Il n’en aurait probablement pas été de même sans ce stock. La pénurie de RAM a effectivement ruisselé jusqu’à la DDR2. D’un trimestre à l’autre (Q1 à Q2 2026), les OEM/ODM ont dû débourser 55 à 60 % de plus pour en acquérir, d’après TrendForce.

    Le cabinet taïwanais estime que la tendance se poursuivra au Q3 (+ 35 à + 40 %). D’autant plus que l’offre se réduit, les fabricants préférant concentrer la production sur des générations ultérieures de DRAM, dont ils tirent davantage de marge.

    Les principaux fournisseurs se sont réorientés sur la HBM, mémoire à large bande passante dont se nourrissent les infrastructures IA. Délaissant ainsi la DDR4 et la DDR5, ils ont « mécaniquement » engendré un report de la demande sur la DDR3. La DDR2 fut logiquement l’étape suivante… pour les machines la prenant en charge (équipements réseau, systèmes embarqués, informatique industrielle…). Un cycle potentiellement accéléré par des acteurs conservant leur stock dans une perspective spéculative.

    La HBM mobile, autre élément potentiellement perturbateur

    Le recentrage sur la production de HBM est susceptible de s’accentuer avec l’arrivée de ce type de mémoire sur les appareils mobiles. Samsung développerait une technologie de packaging adaptée à ces terminaux. Du côté de Huawei et Xiaomi, on plancherait sur de la DRAM basse latence « inspirée » de la HBM ; avec, en ligne de mire, les smartphones pliants, plus adaptés que les formats classiques en matière de dissipation thermique.

    Du côté de SanDisk, on travaille sur de la HBF (High-Bandwidth Flash), qui consiste à appliquer à la NAND une architecture similaire à celle de la HBM. Dans ce domaine, on aura noté qu’AMD s’est emparé de MEXT. Cette société américaine est à l’origine d’une technologie de tiering prédictif qui maximise l’usage de la NAND en combinaison avec la RAM.

    Si vous utilisez Codex , le CLI de dev d'OpenAI, allez vite jeter un œil à votre SSD avant qu'il ne rende l'âme ! Si je vous dis ça, c'est parce qu'un utilisateur a remarqué que l'outil écrivait en douce des quantités hallucinantes de logs sur son disque, et son calcul fait un peu peur.

    En 21 jours, environ 37 To sont passés sur son SSD. Rapporté à l'année, ça grimpe à 640 To. Sur un disque d'1 To, ça revient donc à le remplir entièrement 640 fois. Et le problème avec ça, c'est que pas mal de modèles de SSD grand public sont garantis pour à peu près 600 To d'écriture. En clair, avant que le bug soit patché, Codex pouvait cramer la garantie d'écriture de votre SSD en moins d'un an. Tout ça pour stocker du log, c'est couillon quand même ^^.

    Si vous avez un SSD, vous savez sûrement qu'il ne faut pas faire n'importe quoi avec, car ça ne se comporte pas exactement comme un disque dur classique. On peut réduire énormément la durée de vie d'un SSD si on fait trop de jeux d'écriture dessus car chaque cellule a un nombre d'écritures limité. Et une fois le quota explosé, le disque commence alors à fatiguer.

    Le coupable chez Codex, c'est un fichier SQLite planqué dans votre dossier perso (~/.codex/logs_2.sqlite) où il balançait absolument tout, jusqu'au moindre événement réseau, en mode TRACE. Du coup ça enflait tout seul au point d'avoir généré plus de 5 milliards de lignes au fil du temps, pour à peine 500 000 réellement gardées. Du vent écrit pour rien, qui use, qui use...

    Alors oui, c'est énervant, mais pas la peine de paniquer non plus car comme je vous l'ai dit c'est patché, et surtout, les SSD plus récents ont maintenant une durée de vie un peu plus longue et ça dépasse en générale les limites mentionnées par le constructeur. Bref ça dépend beaucoup du modèle que vous avez en fait.

    Et j'sais pas si vous vous souvenez, mais ce n'est pas la première fois qu'un soft s'en prend à votre SSD en silence .

    Alors du coup, comment on arrange ça ? Bah d'abord, mettez Codex à jour car OpenAI a fermé le ticket le 22 juin et fusionné deux correctifs qui virent environ 85% de ces logs d'un coup !

    Ensuite, allez voir la taille du fameux ~/.codex/logs_2.sqlite. S'il pèse plusieurs Go, supprimez-le sans crainte car Codex en recréera un propre au prochain lancement. En faisant ça, un utilisateur a commenté sur Github être passé de 27 Go à 73 Mo juste en virant le sien ! Quel bonheur !

    Bref, un petit coup d'œil, une petite update, un fichier viré, et votre SSD respirera à nouveau. Pensez-y !

    Depuis plusieurs mois, le conflit entre Israël et les États-Unis d’un côté, et l’Iran et ses alliés de l’autre, secoue le Moyen-Orient et l’équilibre mondial. Mais côté français, aucune position concrète n’a été prise. Interrogé sur ce sujet, le ministre des Affaires étrangères s’est défendu. « On a eu vraiment beaucoup de boulot ces derniers temps, et en plus, à cause de la vague de chaleur, on a eu des horaires aménagés, donc c’est difficile de tout suivre. » . Alors que nous interrogions le ministre en face à face afin de savoir quel pays la France soutenait, il nous a répondu « qu’il ne captait plus » et qu’il « devait raccrocher », alors qu’il se tenait face à nous.

    Face aux interrogations grandissantes des journalistes et des Français, le président Macron lui-même a pris la parole. « En effet, je sais qu’il se passe des choses en ce moment au Moyen-Orient, mais la situation est assez compliquée. C’est pourquoi je m’engage, lors des prochaines semaines, à regarder BFM au moins une heure par jour pour me tenir informé. » Dubitatifs, certains journalistes lui ont demandé s’il comptait également se rendre sur place. Le président n’a pas manqué de leur répondre. « Je ne me rendrai pas sur place car, d’après mes informations, il est fortement déconseillé de se rendre dans la région en ce moment. Vous le sauriez si vous étiez renseignés autant que moi. »

    Emmanuel Macron accusé d’être déconnecté des problématiques actuelles

    Au-delà du conflit au Moyen-Orient, le président français est accusé de ne pas se prononcer sur les sujets qui préoccupent les citoyens actuellement, que ce soit les actes de pédocriminalité ou le réchauffement climatique. En réponse à ces accusations, Emmanuel Macron s’est montré rassurant : « J’entends les Français, leurs attentes et leurs craintes. C’est pourquoi, en partenariat avec Mosimann, nous travaillons sur un nouveau remix de ma citation “For Sure”, qui sortira à la rentrée. »

    J'sais pas si vous saviez mais l'État, ce truc qui organise et contrôle toute notre vie, sans que nous l'ayons jamais vraiment choisi, n'a que 4 siècles au compteur... C'est comme ça que débute Vivre sans État, un doc qu'ARTE qui vient de sortir dans sa collection Tracks, et que je vous recommande chaudement. Durant 51 minutes vous découvrirez de vrais gens qui ont décidé de se passer de gouvernement !

    Même si on a tous déjà croisé des anarchistes en mousse qui aiment encore plus le pognon qu'un banquier, c'est en général une forme d'organisation sociale qui est mal connu et mal perçu. Mais l'anarchisme revêt différentes formes et c'est ce qu'on peut voir dans ce docu.

    Vous y verrez des anarchistes grecs et des écolos planqués dans le désert espagnol, des micronations numériques qui promettait tous les services d'un État via la blockchain, un quartier anarchiste d'Athènes qui vit selon ses propres règles depuis des décennies ou encore une poignée d'irréductibles qui replantent le désert de Tabernas en Espagne, sans accès à l'eau courante.

    Et puis surtout, y'a Hakim Bey, l'inventeur des Zones Autonomes Temporaires (TAZ), ces bulles de liberté qui surgissent et disparaissent rapidement, avant que l'État et ses cabots n'aient le temps de réagir. C'est le concept de TAZ qui a d'ailleurs initié le mouvement qui a donné naissance notamment aux free party et aux mouvement hackers.

    La question que pose le documentaire, est la suivante : Pourquoi l'endroit où on est né devrait déterminer toute notre existence, nos perspectives économiques, et notre mode de vie ?

    Vaste programme... Et cette idée d'un monde sans État continue de survivre et de se propager malgré les utopies ratées. Dans le reportage, y'en a un qui explique que le gouvernement "c'est comme un ordinateur qui centraliserait des services administratifs". Il n'a pas tort même si je rajouterai que c'est un ordinateur bourré de virus et dont les mises à jour n'ont pas été faites depuis des décennies.

    Pour moi, ces micro-nations numériques décentralisées et toutes ces initiatives pour moins dépendre des États, ça rejoint beaucoup d'autre initiatives, sans drapeau ni constitution bizarre, comme l' IndieWeb qui rebâtit un internet sans plateforme, ou ces outils qui vous aident à reprendre la main sur vos données . Pendant que certains construisent des Palantir pour tout voir, tout contrôler et tout dérober, d'autres bricolent l'inverse. Pas une nation flottante, certes, mais juste un petit peu de contrôle récupéré.

    Bref, j'ai trouvé ça intéressant... Si vous avez un peu de temps devant vous et que vous aimez quand on bouscule vos préjugés, je vous encourage à regarder ce documentaire.

    Direction Montpellier pour Guillaume de Landtsheer ?

    La filiale française de Dell a son siège sur place. L’intéressé a eu droit à la question après avoir officialisé qu’il en prenait la direction générale. À 53 ans, il succède à Anwar Dahab. Ce dernier aura passé 26 ans au sein du groupe, étant par deux fois DG France (2015-2017, 2023-2026).

    Guillaume de Landtsheer était précédemment à la tête de la filiale française de NetApp (nommé en septembre 2019, il aura passé près de 7 ans à ce poste). Celle-ci a déclaré, sur son exercice 2025, un CA net de 204,4 M€ (+ 4,6 % sur un an), pour 4,3 M€ de bénéfice (- 35,8 %) et un effectif de 194 personnes.

    Avec Dell France, on est sur une autre échelle. La société comptait 1653 salariés – dont 1486 cadres – à la fin de son exercice 2025. Sur cette période, elle a dégagé 2,28 Md$ de CA net (- 4 %). Son résultat s’est élevé à 50,3 M€ (+ 7 %).

    Avant son passage chez NetApp, Guillaume De Landtsheer avait notamment occupé diverses fonctions commerciales chez Microsoft (gestionnaire de compte pour AXA, enterprise sales management pour les pays nordiques, etc.). Après une première expérience d’entrepreneuriat dans la foodtech au cours des années 90, il avait fait son entrée dans le secteur IT au bizdev de Highdeal. Cette spin-off de France Telecom, spécialisée dans les systèmes de facturation, passerait dans le giron de SAP en 2009.

    Le HTML est le format standard du SEO (pas le Markdown)

    Lors de l'épisode du podcast Off The Record, John Mueller et Martin Splitt ont réaffirmé que le HTML reste le standard absolu pour le SEO, le format Markdown n'apportant aucun avantage pour le référencement. Les moteurs de recherche et les robots d'exploration sont optimisés depuis des décennies pour traiter le HTML et en extraire le texte brut, rendant ce format indispensable pour la découverte et l'indexation des contenus.

    Source : Search Engine Roundtable

    Taux de fiabilité : ⭐⭐⭐ On est d'accord !

    Une déclaration qui reste dans la droite lignée de ce qu’affirme Google depuis plusieurs mois. La plupart des experts déconseillent d'ailleurs de créer des versions Markdown parallèles de son site dans l'espoir de plaire aux grands modèles de langage (LLM) : cette pratique double la charge de travail, augmente la complexité technique et comporte le risque qu'une version cassée soit indexée par les IA sans que les utilisateurs humains (qui ne la voient pas) puissent la signaler. Bien que le Markdown conserve son utilité pour d'autres cas d'usage, un site web HTML standard demeure la norme incontournable pour être visible sur les moteurs de recherche traditionnels comme sur les systèmes d'IA.

    Goossip #2

    Les sous-répertoires localisés n’apportent rien en termes de SEO

    Selon John Mueller, le choix entre une structure de dossier générique (ex. /blog/) ou localisée (ex. /en-us/blog/) pour cibler le marché américain (ou un autre marché) n'apporte aucune différence pratique en matière de SEO. Si l'utilisation de sous-dossiers spécifiques par pays s'avère grandement utile pour filtrer et analyser plus facilement les données dans vos outils analytiques, Google recommande avant tout de choisir la solution la plus simple à gérer pour vous.

    Par ailleurs, concernant la gestion du contenu international, Mueller déconseille de dupliquer à l'identique les textes d'un pays à l'autre sous prétexte d'utiliser des balises hreflang. Bien que Google parvienne généralement à afficher la bonne URL dans les résultats de recherche grâce à ces balises (quitte à fusionner temporairement les rapports dans la Search Console sous une seule URL canonique), il est préférable soit de conserver une seule version anglaise globale pour le contenu purement informatif, soit de localiser et personnaliser réellement les contenus par pays lorsque des critères spécifiques (comme les devises ou la disponibilité des produits) l'exigent.

    Source : Search Engine Roundtable

    Taux de fiabilité : ⭐⭐⭐ On est d'accord !

    Résolument pragmatique, le discours de John Mueller est raccord avec les bonnes pratiques appliquées par la grande majorité des professionnels.
