Le monde du renseignement fascine, intrigue… mais semble souvent inaccessible ! Au sein du ministère des Armées, la DRM (Direction du renseignement militaire) est un acteur clé : plus de 2000 agents, militaires et civils, engagés pour appuyer les opérations et éclairer les décisions stratégiques françaises. Un univers mythique… mais pas si inaccessible que ça ! Nous avons recueilli le témoignage de jeunes civils aux parcours variés qui ont osé franchir le pas. Oui, l'exigence est là — secret défense oblige — mais les opportunités existent pour ceux qui s'en donnent les moyens. Aujourd'hui, dans ce 3e épisode consacré à la DRM, découvrez Maxime. Inspiré par une célèbre série sur le renseignement, il a réussi à intégrer la DRM par le système de l'alternance au sein du Centre de recherche et d'analyse du cyberespace (CRAC) avant d'y obtenir son CDI en tant que chef de l'équipe IA à la DRM. Bonne écoute !

In this episode of the HVAC School Podcast, host Bryan sits down with Jeff Staub, Director of OEM Sales for Danfoss North America, to explore one of the most rapidly evolving frontiers in the HVAC and refrigeration world: thermal management for AI data centers. With nearly 30 years of industry experience spanning technical support, application engineering, and product development, Jeff brings deep expertise on how the explosive growth of AI chip technology is reshaping data center cooling architecture — and creating major new opportunities for HVAC professionals, contractors, and facility managers alike. A central theme of the conversation is heat recovery — specifically, how the enormous amounts of heat generated by high-density GPU chips in modern data centers can be captured and repurposed rather than simply rejected into the atmosphere. Jeff explains that while heat recovery itself is not a new concept (supermarkets have used reheat coils and heat reclaim for decades), its application in AI data centers presents fresh challenges and possibilities. The heat coming off liquid-cooled server chips typically runs around 90 to 100 degrees Fahrenheit — useful, but not immediately at the temperature needed for most end applications like domestic hot water or space heating. Boosting that heat using heat pumps or feeding it into district energy systems, boiler pre-heat loops, vertical farms, or multifamily housing developments are among the most promising strategies being explored around the world. Jeff highlights a significant contrast between Europe and the United States in how heat recovery is being adopted. In Europe, where district energy networks are widespread, data centers can plug directly into community heating infrastructure — and projections suggest that 80% of European data centers will incorporate heat recovery in the near future. In the US, the picture is more fragmented: while opportunities exist at universities, hospitals, urban mixed-use developments, and facilities co-located with nuclear power plants, the economics are trickier. Key sticking points include who owns the capital expenditure for heat recovery modules and heat pumps, and who ultimately benefits from the recovered heat. Bryan and Jeff discuss how innovative ownership models — with landlords, municipalities, or co-tenants sharing infrastructure — are beginning to unlock these opportunities, and how co-generation arrangements with power stations present exciting long-term potential. The episode wraps up with highly practical guidance for HVAC contractors and facility managers looking to break into the data center space. Jeff encourages technicians not to be intimidated: the fundamentals of vapor compression, chiller systems, and fluid flow that HVAC professionals already know transfer directly to data center work. The key additions are familiarity with large centrifugal and screw compressors, variable frequency drives on pumps, glycol loop management, and central distribution unit (CDU) architectures. Bryan emphasizes that the boundary between HVAC and plumbing will continue to blur as secondary fluid pumping becomes more prevalent — and that staying curious and investing in ongoing training (through manufacturer programs like Danfoss Learning, Carrier University, and others) is the best way to ride this wave rather than get left behind. Both hosts agree: AI data centers are not going away, and the technicians who keep them cool will be indispensable. Topics Covered The evolution of data center cooling — from direct vapor compression on chips, to air-conditioned server rooms (CRAC units), to today's liquid cooling and chiller-loop architectures Why AI GPU chips generate unprecedented heat densities, with individual server racks approaching 250 kW to 1 MW of heat output What heat recovery means in the data center context: capturing hot water (90–100°F) off chip cooling loops instead of rejecting it to outdoor air The concept of 'heat quality' — why low-temperature waste heat is abundant but difficult to use directly, and how heat pumps solve the temperature-lift challenge Real-world heat recovery applications: district energy systems, boiler pre-heat, vertical farms, multifamily housing, hospitals, and universities Europe vs. the US: why district energy adoption makes heat recovery far more common in European data centers, and what the US can learn Business model challenges: who pays for heat recovery infrastructure, and how co-location, municipal incentives, and landlord ownership models can unlock value Co-generation opportunities: feeding recovered heat back into steam turbines at co-located nuclear or power plants How heat recovery makes heat pump technology more viable by raising the source temperature and reducing compression ratio Danfoss's role in data center thermal management — from compressors and drives to plate heat exchangers, CDU flow control, and prepackaged heat recovery modules Refrigerant transitions and what they mean for data center cooling (R-410A to R-454B, CO2 transcritical systems, potential two-phase refrigerant direct-to-chip cooling) The convergence of HVAC and plumbing trades in a world of secondary fluid pumping and isolated refrigerant charges Absorption chiller technology as a potential future use case for low-grade waste heat Advice for contractors: how existing chiller and refrigeration skills translate to data center work, and what new competencies to build Career and training resources: Danfoss Learning, manufacturer universities (Carrier, Trane, McQuay), and leveraging AI tools for self-education The importance of redundancy and uptime in mission-critical data center environments — and what that means for service response expectations   Learn more about Danfoss at danfoss.com/learning Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?

85 La Vitrine brisée ! La neige tombait dru ce jour-là, recouvrant la place du marché d'un épais manteau blanc. Sous les flocons, une bande de garçons, rouges de froid et de joie, se lançait dans une bataille de boules de neige. Les projectiles volaient dans tous les sens, accompagnés de rires perçants, de cris de guerre et de glissades improvisées. C'était la récréation d'un hiver heureux, bruyant, insouciant. Patrick, les joues rougies par le vent, visait comme un tireur d'élite. Il arma une boule bien compacte, la lança avec fierté… et soudain — CRAC ! Un bruit sourd. Puis un fracas de verre brisé. Le silence tomba sur la place comme une chape de plomb. Tous les regards se figèrent. Là, au bout de la place, arrive le boucher. Sa grande vitrine venait d'exploser sous l'impact. Un trou béant dans le verre. Des éclats partout. Et au milieu de tout ça… le reflet de leur bêtise. Les garçons, un instant pétrifié, se regardèrent, puis, comme mue par un même réflexe, détalèrent à toutes jambes, disparaissant derrière des murs, des porches, des tas de neige. Tous… sauf un Patrick. Il resta là, figé. C'était lui. Sa boule. Son tir. Derrière les maisons, ses camarades l'appelaient à voix basse : — Patrick, viens ! Cours, vite ! — T'es fou ? Planque-toi ! Voilà le boucher ! Mais Patrick, ne bougea pas. Pas un pas. Il sentit ses mains trembler, son cœur battre dans sa poitrine comme un tambour, mais ses pieds restaient ancrés dans la neige. Il pensait à Jésus-Christ. À ce que ça voulait dire de lui appartenir vraiment. Et fuir… ce n'était pas la voie qu'il voulait suivre. Une ombre s'approcha, le boucher, avec un grand tablier noir sur le ventre et visage écarlate, arrivait d'un pas rageur. Il vit le garçon seul sur la place. Ses yeux lançaient des éclairs. — Qui a lancé cette boule ?! tonna-t-il. — C'est moi. répondit Patrick, d'une voix tremblante, mais ferme. L'homme s'arrêta net, interloqué. — Tu oses me le dire comme ça ? En face ? Il bouillait encore, mais quelque chose dans la voix du garçon le déstabilisait. — Tu sais que tes parents devront payer la vitrine ? — Je le sais… mais je ne voulais pas mentir. Le boucher cligna des yeux. Le silence revint, lourd, étrange. Sa colère, tout à coup, s'évapora. Il regarda Patrick, plus attentivement : pas de défi dans ses yeux, juste de l'honnêteté et un soupçon d'inquiétude. — Comment tu t'appelles, mon garçon ? — Patrick. Mais… avant cela, dites-moi ce que je peux faire pour réparer ce que j'ai cassé. Ma maman n'a pas beaucoup d'argent. Le boucher inspira profondément. Puis un sourire, timide d'abord, fendit son visage. — Tu penses à ta maman. C'est bien. Très bien. Écoute… je ne veux pas lui faire payer la vitrine. Mais on va faire un marché. Patrick, leva les yeux, intrigué. — Chaque fois qu'il neigera cet hiver, tu viendras avec une pelle et un balai, et tu déblaieras le trottoir devant la boucherie. Ça te va ? Patrick hocha la tête avec reconnaissance. Et dès le lendemain, à la première chute de neige, on vit un petit garçon emmitouflé, pelle en main, gratter la glace avec sérieux devant la vitrine toute neuve du boucher. Il ne manqua pas un jour. Il arrivait tôt, repartait tard, et ne se plaignait jamais. Les habitants de la place l'observaient avec admiration. Pas pour sa punition, mais pour ce qu'elle révélait : un cœur droit, fidèle… et déjà un peu héroïque.

Ce signe V de la Victoire fait avec deux doigts de la main, l'index et le majeur, nous rappelle le regretté Jacques Chirac. "Crac crac mangez des pommes", disait-il. Celui-ci est fait aujourd'hui partie de votre téléphone d'un émoticône plus précisément. Mais il est le fruit d'un mythe : tout le monde pense qu'il a été créé et immortalisé par le Premier ministre Britannique Winston Churchill pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Sauf que pas du tout ! Il est bien né pendant le conflit en Angleterre, mais ce n'est pas Churchill qui en a eu l'idée. C'est l'ancien ministre Belge Victor de Laveleye, exilé à Londres, comme Charles de Gaulle, qui en parle sur les ondes de la BBC où il est speaker...

Foundations of Amateur Radio Around the world are thousands of associations, groups of people, clubs if you like, that represent radio amateurs. Some of those associations are anointed with a special status, that of "member society" or "peak body", which allows them to represent their country with their own governments and on the international stage to the ITU, the International Telecommunications Union, through a global organisation, the IARU, the International Amateur Radio Union. Some of these are known across our whole community, the ARRL in the USA, the RSGB in the UK, and the WIA in Australia. Some much less so, the CRAC, the Chinese Radio Amateurs Club, or the ARSI, the Amateur Radio Society of India, for example. In an attempt to get a deeper understanding of what distinguishes these organisations, I visited a dozen member society websites. Cultural sensibilities and aesthetics aside, the variety and sense of priority is both pleasing and astounding. Starting close to home, the WIA, the Wireless Institute of Australia, shows news as the most important and the top story is a radio contact between the International Space Station and a school, held about two weeks ago. The ERAU, the Estonian Radio Amateurs Association, features an article about the 2025 General Meeting outlining who was there, what was discussed and thanking the participants for their contributions. When I visited, the ARRL, the American Radio Relay League, top news item, was the renewed defence of the 902-928 MHz Amateur Radio Band, from a few days ago. The most important issue for the ARRL is that you read the latest edition of QST magazine, but only if you're a member. The RSGB, the Radio Society of Great Britain, has an odd landing page that links to the main site, which features much of the same content. The latest news is "Mental Health Awareness Week" and encourages us to celebrate kindness in our community. The DARC, the German Amateur Radio Club, has a page full of announcements and the top one was an article about current solar activity including a coronal hole and various solar flares. The ERASD, the Egyptian Radio Amateurs Society for Development, uses qsl.net as its main website. It features many images with text, presumably in Arabic, that unfortunately I was not able to translate. Curiously the landing page features some English text that welcomes all interested to join. I confess that I love the juxtaposition between a Yaesu FT-2000 transceiver and the images of Tutankhamun and the pyramids. The RAC, the Radio Amateurs of Canada, use their homepage to promote its purpose, and features many pictures of their bi-monthly magazine, which you can only read if you're a member, which is where many of the homepage links seem to go. The RCA, the Radio Club of Argentina, is promoting the 2024-2025 Railway Marathon, including links to descriptions of what constitutes a Railway Activation, how to reserve your station, and upcoming and past activations. There's also a reminder to renew your license. The ARSI, the Amateur Radio Society of India, has a very sparse landing page showing their mission and not much else. Clicking around gives you lots of information about the history, activities, awards and the like. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find out how to become licensed in India. There's hardly any images. In contrast, the URA, the Union of Radio Amateurs of Andorra, lands you on a page with contact details and not much else. Clicking through the site gives you lots of pictures of happy people and maps, lots of maps. The KARL, the Korean Amateur Radio League, features an announcement with a link to the 24th Amateur Radio Direction Finding, from a week ago, but it requires a login to actually read it. The JARL, the Japan Amateur Radio League, features an announcement to a form you can complete to join the "List of stations from which you do not wish to receive QSL cards." The NZART, the New Zealand Association of Radio Transmitters, features a big button to latest news and clicking on it shows the "Jock White Field Day", which was held several months ago. I wasn't able to see the CRAC, the Chinese Radio Amateurs Club, since the page didn't load for me. The "Wayback machine", also known as archive.org, from a capture a few days ago, showed a news item announcing the intent to organise the 1st Class C Amateur Radio Technical "something", I say "something" because I cannot actually load the article and see what it has to say. The event was scheduled for a month ago, the announcement was from several months ago. Content aside, finding sites was interesting too, mind you, there's plenty of member associations that don't have any web presence at all. Is that by choice, or necessity? The IARU list of member societies conflicts with the list of national organisations shown on Wikipedia. The IARU has about 160 entries, I say about, since the list isn't really formatted as much as it's congealed. Let's just say, perhaps a table for tabular data might be a novel approach. Wikipedia is slightly better formatted, it lists 93 national organisations. As it happens, both include a link to the national organisation for China, which is either the Chinese Radio Sports Association, with apparently two different acronyms, either CRSAOA, or CRSA, or if you believe the IARU as a source, it's the one I mentioned earlier, the CRAC. I don't know which one is right, but at least we can assume that the IARU page was updated formally, rather than edited by someone on the internet. Regardless of which one is the "real" Chinese national amateur radio organisation, none of the websites loaded for me. Let's move on. It's interesting that several non-English sites like Korea, Japan and Germany feature a button that allows their site to be translated into English. What's even more interesting is that the English version of the site is not in any way the same content. In many cases it appears to be information relevant to English visitors rather than a translation. One notable exception is Estonia, which allows a visitor to read their site in Estonian or English right out of the box. Unsurprisingly, the ARRL website has no buttons for Spanish, even though that represents about 13 percent of the USA population, let alone any other language. I'd encourage you to visit a few and see what you can learn about the other members of our community around the world. My visits leave me with questions. What do these organisations stand for? What do they do? Are they there for amateurs, for aspirant members, the general public, for regulators, for their members, for fund raising and advertising, or international visitors and tourism? It seems to me that looking at just a few of these organisations reveals a great many things about how they understand their own role and how they deliver service and just how much money they have to play with to make that happen. I'll leave you to ponder how effective they might be and what your role is in that endeavour. I'm Onno VK6FLAB

Hi, Spring and JDK fans! In this week's episode I talk to BellSoft developer advocate Catherine Edelveis #java #springboot #jre #jdk #graalvm #CRaC

Auroras boreais vermelhas, uma pedra tumular inquietante e um apartamento assombrado.

In this episode of the HVAC School podcast, Bryan interviews Pat Ward, an HVAC technician who specializes in servicing and maintaining computer room air conditioning (CRAC) units for data centers. They dive deep into the unique challenges and setups involved in cooling these critical facilities. Pat provides an overview of data centers, explaining that they are essentially industrial-scale computer rooms that generate immense amounts of heat from the servers and need precise environmental controls. CRAC units are specialized air conditioning systems designed to maintain the temperature and humidity within tight parameters suitable for electronic equipment. Unlike typical comfort cooling, CRAC units supply air around 70°F to avoid excessive dehumidification. Humidity control is crucial, often requiring supplemental humidifiers or dehumidifiers. Pat discusses common configurations like air-cooled direct expansion (DX) units as well as chilled water systems with computer room air handlers (CRAHs). Redundancy is a major consideration, with units networked together to stage capacity and provide backup. The conversation covers many other topics related to data center cooling such as: Using economizers and free cooling with outdoor air when conditions allow Potential issues with mildly flammable refrigerants in these applications Typical maintenance tasks like coil cleaning, filter changes, and refrigerant checks Accessing and navigating the control systems which often require passwords Advice for technicians new to working on CRAC units, like studying the equipment layout The massive scale of large data center installations with arrays of 20+ CRAC units Causes of overheating and how to avoid them Growth opportunities in the CRAC niche of HVAC   Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?
