Do I have any followers familiar with Embassy + smoltcp + STM32, and interested in a paid consulting gig? I've got a company seeing dropped / missing packets, and it could be an interesting project + fun investigative writeup.

Hi #fediverse. We need to talk about something.

While talking to a colleague about how I recently learned most people have never sat on a cow it came up that she has never sat on a horse. Like, not even once during childhood.

Another colleague admitted they also have never sat on a horse.

My hypothesis is that most people have at one point in their life sat on a horse.

๐Ÿ‡ ๐ŸŽ ๐Ÿด

Have you sat on a horse?

Please boost for scientific accuracy.

Yes

The MacBook Neo is such an interesting machine that it coaxed a thousand-word-essay out of me: https://samhenri.gold/blog/20260312-this-is-not-the-computer-for-you/

Had fun listing all of these interfaces that are aware of the hardwareโ€™s dimensions or buttons or other physical properties, so they can do fun things with pointing to stuff.

Please send me more if you can think of them!

I would like to drop armhf (armv6) support in #AlpineLinux. The only current hardware I am aware of that is armv6 is Raspberry Pi Zero series (EOL 2030). I don't think it is worth the extra effort to support both armhf (armv6) and armv7 at this point.

Do you think we should drop armhf to free up some resources?

Lets drop both armhf and armv7 (no 32 bit arm)
31.2%
Lets drop armhf (armv6) but lets keep armv7
38.7%
NOOOOO! Lets keep both armhf and armv7!!!!!

Students or anyone who is the need for a free Linux Laptop?

We as Laptop Revive can provide one free of charge, no background checks. Just a friendly face and some basic agreements on paper and then we hand it over somewhere in the Netherlands.

Sounds like a miracle? No fact is that we already handed out more than 100 of them ! ๐Ÿ™‚๐Ÿ‘

See https://laptoprevive.nl for the details
