If you/your project is affected by DigitalOcean stopping their OSS credits program, please shoot me a PM immediately. Might be able to help.

Boosts for visibility would be appreciated.

LLVM Bay Area Monthly Meetup (Mon Oct 26 ‘26 6pm)

I propose we make a new internet browser called DOSnet and it just runs sandboxed DOS applications that can link to each other.

To support existing browsers, you convert your DOS binary to WASM.

Add a library that just adds some semantic HTML to the <canvas> element for accessibility where necessary for browsers.

Would probably end up being smaller than React sites at this rate.

Hackers was release exactly 11337 days ago.

Full house at #XDC2026 for the deep dive on Kraid, the new Panfrost compiler for Valhall and later Mali GPUs. A real software engineering masterclass on when to rewrite instead of patch. Great work Faith, Lorenzo & Christoph!

Sodium Citrate is the secret ingredient to make any cheese into smooth, creamy nacho cheese sauce.

Coincidentally, Sodium Citrate's chemical formula is ...

Na₃C₆H₅O₇

Municipal elections are happening across Ontario in October. Here in Waterloo, I’m proud to support our incumbent mayor Dorothy McCabe and our incumbent Uptown councillor Julie Wright. Understanding the climate crisis and supporting climate action are important to me in any candidate for political office. Plus, Dorothy is a serious everyday cyclist!

Miss my trivia buddy 😭

Meta doesn’t want you to watch this video

The WAR ON WALKING has taken many forms around the world. All sorts of scales, contexts, policies, designs, rules and laws… in culture, in priorities, in norms & expectations.

And certainly in budgets.

In almost everything. But it’s often as simple as how we signal who space is and isn’t for.

Once our eyes are opened to all the ways we’ve prioritized cars over people, we can’t unsee it.

The Caltrain announcement keeps telling me to have a good Friday night. I'm pretty sure it's Thursday morning, but I'm still a bit worried I'm about to find out I'm very late...

I won't explicitly say why Arch Linux refused DHH's sponsorship offer. It's not my place to do so.

But it shouldn't be hard to figure out.

If you want to try the maintainer-container, the docs are here:

https://llore.docs.kernel.org/

It's still pretty early stages, and the feature set is fairly minimal. However, this will let you set up local list mirrors and access them via MCP to give you that ability to do things like "show me a summary of all new series sent to my subsystems today".

The first day of #kr2026 is nearly finished. You can have a look back on today talks

I made a microprocessor and want to tell you all about it!

Video covers at a high level HDL and programming, synthesis/layout and bringup

It was a lot of work, but really fun! 10/10, would recommend everyone tape out some custom silicon 😊 Especially since you get to play around with weird and different architectures that you can't just buy off the shelf

One of the coolest things to happen in Spade yet 👀 @breakingtaps wrote and taped out a Transport Triggered Architecture processor from scratch in a month with 0 prior experience!

This video is also one of the better intros to digital hardware design I've seen, certainly much better than some of the things people who teach this stuff have made :)

Anyone have an arm64 dev box they like?

I'd just be SSHing into it and running builds/tests, so pretty much just something well supported by standard distros would be ideal (and runs KVM, so I can test kernels). It'd be within earshot so I'd like it to be somewhat quiet, and ideally have some way to get decently fast storage/networking on it.
