My main problem with Mastodon is that it's too damn entertaining and has been sucking up so much time. My home feed is full of interesting, beautiful, important, helpful, and fun stuff, and I have connected with some cool people.

(I must tear myself away now to do other things, but I'll be back...)

@lupyuen sounds like rebuilding all of that botnet from scratch is a pita.

@lupyuen Nice to see microcontrollers getting some love.

If I may be permitted a small plug for my stm32f411re CMSIS stuff:

https://gitlab.com/mcturra2000/rpi/-/tree/master/stm32f411re/cmsis

I've got quite a few examples there, including blinky (of course), timers, systick, uart (oblig, of course, inc. blocking and interrupt), a couple of I2C peripherals (inc. ssd1306) , and more.

I'm also a fan of libopencm3.

#stm32 and #rp2040 are mcu's that I use the most.

@lupyuen Thank you for sharing this! For a related, but larger scoped project (incl. polyglot code generation for shared data structures), may I also point you to: https://github.com/thi-ng/umbrella/tree/develop/packages/wasm-api

I'm working on a small video introducing the project, but there're also a bunch of browser examples listed in the readme too...

@lupyuen Our tech is becoming increasingly fragile. In many respects we're going backwards instead of forwards. The producers don't care, of course, because it creates vendor lock-in. The consumers don't care, on the whole, as they don't do any risk assessment. They probably aren't even cognisant of the risks. Even tech-savvy folk have a tendency to ignore downsides as they embrace the latest shiny. It all feels like we're in a giant mudslide towards the cliff.
