Tog Hackerspace<p>🎉 What a day at Tog Hackerspace!</p><p>Today’s Build Your Own RISC-V Computer workshop was a massive success. Participants soldered up their Olimex RVPC kits, learned to program them, and went home with fully working RISC-V computers they built themselves. 🧠💻🔥</p><p>Big thanks to everyone who joined us — the smell of solder and the buzz of learning filled the space! Stay tuned for more hands-on workshops like this.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/Hackerspace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Hackerspace</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/RISC_V" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RISC_V</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/MakerWorkshop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MakerWorkshop</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/Soldering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Soldering</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/OpenHardware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenHardware</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/TogDublin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TogDublin</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/DublinTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DublinTech</span></a></p>

@nixCraft and the same is true for #OpenHardware too: once I own it, I truly own it and can repair it myself rather than being tied to a service centre that is a sort of organically regulated sneak-subscription 
As a bonus, people who make open hardware tend to care about the product, so I'm more likely to get one that's designed to be long-lasting than one that'll become obsolete as soon as the company can come up with a newer reshash of the same product to thrust onto people 
Had a great time at @opensuse Conference 2025 in Nuremberg! A highlight was the hands-on workshop by @tropicsquar, showcasing #TROPIC01 — the first open and auditable secure element. A big step for verifiable hardware #security in #Linux systems, edge devices & secure infrastructure.
Thanks to the Tropic Square team for the great session and the devkit

We promise a glittering awards ceremony which is free to attend (no pay to play here) and a chance to show off how brilliant the UK's FOSS scene is.
Flopper Ziro is a DIY open source Flipper Zero clone. It's a work in progress, but involves a custom printed circuit board and 3D printed case, combined with off-the-shelf components and software made with Arduino IDE. https://github.com/lraton/FlopperZiro #FlopperZiro #OpenHardware #FlipperZero

This metronome, by design, will never, ever, tick exactly once per second. This infuriating object is designed to thwart the goals of @hackaday's One Hertz Challenge contest.
