Last week I flew a 20 TB hard drive up to Canada 🇨🇦, to see if I could outrun the Internet. And I did! But I also got to help @idlehandsdev set up a new @45Drives server, and we had a special guest show up to help via CRT! Watch here: youtube.com/watch?v=v0DEI4Ad…

Never thought I'd watch a Canada game in Canada, yet here I am! (Still rooting for Netherlands overall, but I can celebrate the local team too! 🇨🇦)

I've seen a few people trying to defend @BambulabGlobal's bullying of an open source developer over completely legal AGPL code use... Now @conservancy is raising funds to stop companies like Bambu Labs from abusing the AGPL and open source devs: sfconservancy.org/news/2026/…

Created an off-axis projection demo using mediapipe for face tracking, threejs and a 3D scanned shoe. Try it out yourself…

Okay, this is ~50x oversubscribed. I think I should maybe just do a big group order of new boards at cost (probably $80 without tariffs, maybe $130 with tariffs?), and charge everyone with a tech job 1.5x cost, to subsidize giving them out for free to all the students.
I have a ton of old custom FPGA boards, and I'm trying to clear out my office. Anyone in the Bay Area want some FPGA boards for free? Here's a "build your own GPU" board I designed, with working PCIe, half a gigabyte of "VRAM", 63k LUTs, and 1080p 60Hz HDMI output. I have two.

It took almost two years, but we've started production on the SMITH BLADE, a knife that breaks the mold and is unlike anything else on the market.
