Given that I want to target i486 with @OS1337 but don't want to deal with obsolete hardware that is dying of old age, I think it's more fitting to consider a sort-of mainboard to shove some 486SX-SOM with PC/104-Plus on and have the few necessities hooked up to it. Maybe even put it inside a THINN #Pizzabox-style #case?

It would also make a new "bridge" machine to interface old PCI & ISA hardware and allow connecting i.e. a #QuadFlop and roll with that...

Unboxed my Jumperless from @ArchiteuthisFlux recently. It's absolutely beautiful and packaged so well. You can read about my unboxing experience on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/posts/132126594. (The article is open-access)

@jbqueru Also I hope for #RISCv to be the #ISA of the future for long-term #OpenSourceHardware and support.

#ARM64 - just like #amd64 - is yet another proprietary ISA and almost all devices with it in terms of #Laptops have #AntiRepairDesign like #Apple's #MacBook|s that self-destroy their #SSD|s which also contains it's #EFI / "#BridgeOS", making machines with fried SSDs 'braindead'…

And yes, #RAM to also fails and making it not fully replaceable and upgradeable is inherently bad and I'm still mad at @frameworkcomputer for their botched #FrameworkDesktop #PC!

• Cuz it's neither necessary nor beneficial for a #Desktop PC, unlike with the #Framework12 where the #SoC used only supports single channel and a single SODIMM so it makes sense for them to take that into account.

Oh no, Openbuilds goes out of business

The CEO Mark Carew invented the V-Slot extrusion in 2013. We use them on the Bear because the V shape offered an easy alignment during the assembly and more flexibility for the printed parts (no support needed).

Thank you Openbuilds and the community for those 12 years

New instance, new #introduction.

I'm Luke, a #programmer/ #Hacker. I'm involved with #Parabola #GNU/ #LinuxLibre since 2011 and so contribute to a bunch of upstream projects. The Parabola build server is in my living room. #homelab.

Sort-of on pause co-founding a
#OpenSourceHardware/ #FreeSoftware #coop. Currently working on building a dirt-cheap KVM-over-IP.

Getting the pics for writing the docs on how to assemble our upcoming cell that will be part of an open-source flow battery development kit: (https://fbrc.dev)

Just wrote a new blogpost on the progress we've made with our open-source flow battery, check it out and let us know what you think! (ideally in our forum so that we can kickstart our community )

Die #OpenSourceHardware Konferenz in Dresden war großartig, aus Forschung, Bildung, Sozialwissenschaften, Industrie und Makerszene waren viele Menschen vertreten.

Ein gelungener Auftakt, eine Fortsetzung folgt:

#savethedate 21.-24.10.2025 (Chemnitz)

#OpenSource und insbesondere #OpenSourceHardware ist heute um einiges weiter und auf dem Weg neue Standards und Innovationen hervorzubringen.
