We are a mere SEVEN days out from #OHS2026 🙀 We're starting to feel antsy to get into the space and spend a weekend celebrating all things open source hardware 🥰

There's still time for you to grab your tickets (including a one day OSHWA-curious ticket for 35 euros) and join us at the Summit!

Get yours right here: https://ticket.nodeforum.org/OHS26/

Playing around with the olimex rvpc (1 euro PC) I received at fosdem really got my curiosity going, pushing the boundaries by adding another microcontroller serving as external gpu/terminal with color capabilities and more. This allowed me to free up ram and cpu, while getting a higher resolution and color support. A blog post with more details will follow later. I am having so much fun with this, thank you @olimex #RVPC #FOSDEM #BASIC #ch32v003 #tinkering

Last weekend I spent a day upgrading https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com from #Debian Buster to Debian Bookworm. It took some time, but everything went very smooth. Also the @olimex A20-Lime2 holds up well going in year 8 of the project.

Its such a pleasure to work with that kind of reliable and stable tech.
