@revspace After a few days of work, implementing 3 missing libc functions, repairing an extra 4MB of RAM, hacking around toolchain issues, we finally got Lynx 2.8.2 compiled and running on the VAX-11/750 (in 4.3 BSD Quasijarus)! That means we got to browse the (non-HTTPS) web using no equipment or parts newer than 1986 this side of the network (besides the AUI 10Base-T phy).
Combining semiconductors with music for my @hackaday Berlin lightning talk - check out this exciting Tiny Tapeout update!
Nerding out at Hackaday Berlin 2025! @geekmomprojects I finally got my own bendy dude!
This Weekend finally @hackaday in Berlin
i'll be there - anybody else?
light bleeding is fixed with the 4 layer design, programming pin is on the "wrong" SAO pin ofc, but yay! not sold on how sharp the jaw line and eye sockets are now, since theyre on the second layer. First CH32V003 design, programmed with the hackaday badge as a programmer!
Do I write a new blog page on my current tracker build, or post a series of "build update" mastodon posts, or see about writing up an instructables.com or Hackaday.io post?
I have an awful lot of pictures, e.g. showing how I made the little button caps and holders for the "soft press" buttons.

Hey #Badgelife creators, fans, or collectors. Read and boost this!
In January I will be in DC for some meetings. Because I will be there anyway, I reached out to some of the curators at the Smithsonian to ask them to meet. To my surprise, they accepted!
I want to bring them some awareness of the Badgelife community and projects, because I think Badgelife represents an incredible amount of creativity, innovation, and technological advancement, and it's happening right under everyone's noses!
So I'd like to ask: If you had an opportunity to share something about what Badgelife means to you, how it is advancing human ingenuity, or just what it means for creativity in the 21st century: What would you like me to share with the folks at the Smithsonian about Badgelife?
Share your pics. Share links to your projects. Share your stories of playing weird proximity games over NFC or wifi. Why do electronic badges make you happy? How do people use them to tell stories? Tag it #SmithsonianBadgelife so we can find it and collect it to hand over to them.
Please spread far and wide. I'd like to get as much community feedback as possible to share with them.
Thank you in advance.
In case you missed my #zephyr workshop at #Hackaday #Supercon this weekend, the tutorial is available here: https://github.com/ShawnHymel/workshop-zephyr-device-driver
You just need an #ESP32 and an MCP9808 board—you can do the entire workshop at your own pace!

I reached 5 new Patreon subscribers on my video post the other day, so ya'll will get a tutorial walkthrough on how I made my LED hat soon thank you so much for that.
And I'll be (tiredly) at Hackaday Supercon to see friends this weekend, starting with the hardware hacking halloween party tomorrow night. I'll be the brilliantly glowing wizard
Honored to be invited to design the Touchwheel "petal” SAO as part of this year’s @hackaday Supercon badge. It's an SAO-version of my capsense touchwheels like “touchwheel0” & “picoslidertoy”, but this one has cool back-mounted RGB LEDs that shine through.

@gvy_dvpont found a use for https://nationalparktypeface.com/ after you posted about it (wanted a “sign” looking title on the top of the back side of the board) #hackaday #supercon #SAO
NEW BOARDS! NEW BOARDS! NEW BOARDS!
(even after years of doing this, I still get a rush of excitement whenever new PCBs get delivered!)
This one is a fun weekend side project for the #hackaday #supercon #SAO contest.

The absolute madlads at PCBWay went full send and gave me the razor thin claws I wanted on this Wolverine SAO
I put off ordering this design for half a year as I was almost certain they would refuse to manufacture it and I would have to redesign. Turns out: I didn’t!
(Not sponsored, but credit where it’s due. This design is ridiculous and turned out beautiful)
