Université de Doubaille: Cogito ergo ping
A polished French-language satire presented as a university devoted to the metaphysics of networks and other useless computer science questions.
- For
- Readers of computing satire and mock academia
- Worth noticing
- Its institutional ledger lists eight academics, two administrators, and zero enrolled students.
Field notes
The homepage uses familiar university furniture—faculty profiles, central services, publications, and a founding doctrine—to sustain the joke across the page. Its sample research ranges from the existence of a firewall-rejected packet to free will behind a proxy, while the footer explicitly says the institution is fictional and offers no real degree or course. The page reports eight academics and two administrators, but names four faculty members in the visible sample.
