Hello World!
I do low-level programming and FPGA stuff :3
I like modern C++, Vulkan, WebAssembly, VHDL, SBCs, game modding, and Ganqing Impact.[...]

Btw, here's my current setup for the @icepi-zero-bot:

The SBC operating the bot, running the synthesis and recording the video is Layla, my Milk-V Mars (bonus point for everyone who can guess the old name based on the picture). #FPGA.-Icepi-Zero #fedibot #bot #SBC #RISC-V

RAM prices are too high? Pffff, who needs RAM anyway?
Just use flip-flops! #FPGA #shitpost #RAM #I-don't-know-why-the-synthesis/PnR-tools-don't-use-the-RAM

A very simple MIPS processor I've built as part of a university lecture running on my Icepi Zero! #FPGA #VHDL #DVI #MIPS #processor #hardware-development

God, I really need to clean up this class one day 😅 #C++ #I-love-feature-creep

I absolutely love @kenney.nl's input prompts!
They look so good and cute and are literally carrying this project of mine.

OMG OMG OMG, Wafubuntu has an actual review :O #so-excited #never-expected-this

I really need to get my CI durations under control 😭
December 1, 2025 at 8:48 AM
Now that kokomi (one of my servers) is finally up again (albeit with different hardware, because more than just its SD card died), my CI builds are finally running again!

Feels good; I've become very reliant on them 😅 #god-I-love-CI #poor-new-SD-card-getting-hit-with-lots-of-load-immediately

I am so indecisive when it comes to some of my projects... #it-is-even-worse-because-I-restarted-this-project-from-scratch-twice-already

@xcyndi.bsky.social

And this is Layla (who used to be called Qiqi)! :D
She is a Milk-V Mars and has this beautiful white PCB.

While her SoC (JH7110) is RISC-V and not very powerful (no vector extensions, for example), she does have a ton of RAM (8 GB).
I mainly use h... see complete post

[This is just a test, nothing dangerous here!]
@jbcrn @GroupNebula563
I should have probably mentioned that this is a test for Wafbuntu (the Wafrn client I am developing) and not for federation or anything like that.

Here we (finally) go:

This is Klee (used to be called Layla, but Klee fits better due to the color and board name). She is a BeagleV-Fire and without any competition the coolest SBC I own:

She has a RISC-V processor (already pretty cool) that is combined with an FPGA... see complete post

WHY IS AXI SO COMPLICATED??? 😭😭😭

Lastly, this is Kokomi. She also takes partial responsibility for the backups (but a little bit less, since Nahida is also responsible for uploading them to an off-site location).
However, she is very hard-working, because she runs most of the CI builds for my projects... see complete post

This is Nahida. She is responsible for observing (aka monitoring) and remembering everything (aka hosting all my backups together with Kokomi). They run a Garaged cluster together (because MinIO is baka) on two big HDDs.
She used to have overheating issues, but I manag... see complete post

This is Zhongli. He might not be the fastest, but he has the most RAM and is super reliable. He also controls the entire Kubernetes cluster (HA uses too many resources on each node, so he is responsible for it alone).
He is huge compared to the other servers, but he al... see complete post

This is Ganyu. Second only to Keqing and still very fast and powerful~
No NVMe SSD (yet) sadly, but she boots from an external USB 3.0 SSD, so she is still decently fast. But she overworks herself often and tends to struggle sometimes when it comes to memory.
She also ... see complete post

This is Keqing. She is the most powerful and fastest of the bunch, thanks to booting from an NVMe SSD. She forms a Kubernetes cluster together with Ganyu and Zhongli.

Some drawings ;3
I'm not particularly good at drawing 😅 But I enjoy doing so, it's super relaxing~ #genshin-impact #drawing #my-little-pony #I-have-no-idea-if-I-should-share-these-or-not #they-are-not-even-that-good #meow!
