US lawmakers are asking to restrict American participation in RISC-V "to prevent China from gaining dominance in CPU technology". The request is misguided. I wrote a letter to the US government on the subject:

I'd appreciate if anyone can help amplify or route the message, so that US rule-makers can better understand the issue.

If you don’t agree with my stance, I encourage you to also send a letter expressing your views, so your opinions can be heard.

“Did I hear the word food?” 😂

From zero to full automation of lights, security system, and HVAC in 2 hours, thanks @home_assistant! (Got a Yellow, added on NVMe SSD and Z-Wave radio via GPIO). Video coming soon!

Oh, hai tiny floppy disk organizer but for micro SD cards.

🤣🤣🤣

Hello World!

The Rust project now has an official presence on Mastodon! ✨

We'll be posting the same on our Twitter and Mastodon accounts, so you won't miss anything on either platform.

Today is a huge day for Apple II software preservation. With the help of Antoine Vignau and @txgx42, we have managed to recover, make playable, and archive renowned game designer Dani Bunten's first game, Wheeler Dealers. Released in 1978/79 and published by Speakeasy Software, a small Canadian developer, Wheeler Dealers is a multi-player stock market simulation that only sold ~50 copies. It is the first (known) computer game to have been sold in a box. The game was considered lost until now.

Looks like Adafruit is the first organization to reach 600 certified open-source hardware designs at @oshwassociation @OSHWA_OSHW , previously Adafruit was the first to reach 500 certified OSHW designs https://certification.oshwa.org/list.html?q=adafruit we have a bunch more submitted and will do a post, at this time Adafruit is 24.9% of all certified open-source hardware. Special thanks to the Adafruit team submitting these, the API, and @ladyada for a ton of new open-source designs!

Playing with Renoise and monomes on the #MNTReform laptop (A311d CPU). The latency seems to be enough for a live setup, but I wish there were more plugins for ARM #Linux systems.

I gave a talk at Open Source Firmware Conference this year, Reproducible Builds All The Way Down:

Slides available:

It was well received, highlighting many historic #ReproducibleBuilds issues in firmware projects that I maintain in #Debian and touching on the hows and whys of Reproducible Builds.

Open Source Firmware can be a great example of 100% reproducibility, with a narrow scope of code, and is often a key part in early system boot!

Why are they even allowed to drive?
