Gentoo Linux Begins Codeberg Migration In Moving Away From GitHub, Avoiding Copilot - https://www.phoronix.com/news/Gentoo-Starts-Codeberg-Use

I moved my #Pine64 #quartz64 NAS to my #minirack ! I designed (using #FreeCAD) a 100% custom shelf for the power supply, the SATA controller and the SBC and 3D printed it. This is the first time I design a 3D model! I don't even own a 3D printer! It's not perfect, but I'm happy with the result!

#FOSDEM LET'S GOOOOOO!

We've eleased #InfiniTime 1.16.0 for your #PineTime! It's packed with new features, bugfixes and improvements : heart rate measurements in the background, step counter history, new calculator app and pride flag watch face, improved terminal watch face and many more!

The first 400 finished production Pebble 2 Duos were packaged up today! Their next stop in a few days is our fulfillment center and then shipped to you! Full update on the blog: ericmigi.com/blog/pebble-... Thank you very much to our manufacturing partners at @seeedstudio.com and Foxconn!

I've just installed "generic" #Fedora 42 workstation on my #OrangePi5+ thanks to #EDK2 and it works very well out of the box (display, GPU, Ethernet, USB). How come this thing is not more widely used? This is the user experience I would like to see on more ARM SBCs! github.com/edk2-porting...

We did it. Z-Wave is back and stronger than ever 💪 For 2 years we've been working crafting the best possible Z-Wave experience. Best in class antenna, support for brand new Z-Wave Long Range (also Europe!) and seamless migration from chips as old as 2013. Check our blog post for the full story:

Last week: "Oh no, GitHub's CEO says embrace AI or leave the profession." This week: "Oh no, GitHub's CEO is leaving." Next week, "Oh no, GitHub..." Let's channel this angst into a more productive alternative: https://join.codeberg.org/ #codeberg #github

In 1983, Philips produced the first FM radio receiver on a chip, leading to products such as the FM radio wristwatch. Let's look at the tiny silicon die inside this chip and see how it works. 1/N

Just received the first batch of complete Core 2 Duos! We're still working on finishing drivers for all peripherals in PebbleOS. But it's wonderful to see it working, connected to my phone over Bluetooth, downloading watchfaces, etc!

Coverage of a great talk from SCALE 22x about the making of the OpenWrt One router. Impressive what the Software Freedom Conservancy and OpenWrt project have pulled off in just such a short time. #OpenSource #OpenWrt #FreeSoftware

Busy days now. On this Saturday on #fosdem I will speak about #curl security work in "tightening every bolt": https://fosdem.org/2025/schedule/event/fosdem-2025-4204-tightening-every-bolt/

#pine64 January community update : pine64.org/2025/01/11/j...

Is it too early to count down for FOSDEM? We don't think so! Ringing in its 25th year, we're excited to celebrate FOSDEM's anniversary with 5 talks on BlueZ, GStreamer, Open Source AI, and more! Snag the details for your schedule here: col.la/fsdm25 #FOSDEM25 #opensource

🎉 Together, we've raised over $1M to support organizations fighting for privacy, freedom of expression, and human rights worldwide! Thanks to your generosity, this year’s Lifetime Account Charity Fundraiser was a record-breaking success. 🎟️ Find the winning tickets: proton.me/blog/2024-li...

please, use a public forum for #curl support unless you want to pay for it. Private support means paid support, everything else is plain rude. (I realize most everyone reading this here is totally onboard with this, but I had to get it off my chest)

If you are planning to visit #FOSDEM and have old FOSDEM shirts, do bring them. We will do a group photo with everyone in their old shirts. If the shirts magically shrunk over the years consider still bringing them, you can hold them in front of you, give them to a friend, or something

The @fosdem.bsky.social RISC-V DevRoom schedule is now fully populated! Pretty awesome lineup: fosdem.org/2025/schedul...

Happy to learn that I'm the maintainer of a popular project (probably #InfiniTime) on @github.com and that I'm eligible to use #Copilot (pro?) for free. Has anyone already tried it? Do you find it useful? I've never used such assistant for anything serious, so that's an honest question :)

I have gotten a time slot assigned for my talk at #fosdem. 11:00 on Saturday Feb 1. https://fosdem.org/2025/schedule/event/fosdem-2025-4204-tightening-every-bolt/

I've just received my NanoKVM PCIe! The packaging looks quite good, to be honest!

I've just upgraded my workstation to 16/32 cores! Double the core, double the fun! I basically installed the biggest CPU (Ryzen 5950X) supported by my motherboard 💪

Rockchip news: Initial support for #RK3576 has made it into #Linux kernel 6.12. Check out how this new SoC reuses many components: col.la/rk3576 #Rockchip #OpenSource
