As we all know, updates are required under the CRA. Today I updated my Mender sticker to the latest design, so I'm properly prepared for a short trip next week where I will be talking about Yocto, SBOMs, CVEs and more.

Follow me for more updates on software and fashion! 😁

There's tech events where you discuss the latest and greatest.
There's tech events where you connect with people.

And then, there's tech events where you are a South Park character.

Remember that in the end, its all about people, and about being excellent to each other.❤️

Alle reden vom Neinhorn.

Meine Kinder sind eher Gleichhörnchen. Egal um was es geht, es wird “gleich” gemacht.

Laut empirischen Studien ist das “gleich” eine Maßeinheit für Zeit. Der Umrechnungsfaktor zu SI ist von 30min bis 2a.

Its finally ready: a 3-part tutorial series on getting started with I2C on the BeagleBone Black.

Enjoy at hub.mender.io/t/conn...

Instead of something inspiring, political, funny, or whatever... just enjoy some good needing. Here's a scope shot of an I2C bus.

If you want to know more, I'm currently writing up a tutorial series on Linux/Zephyr+I2C. I'll let you know when it's live.

Happy Easter!

Todays hardware hack: turning a guitar foot switch into an unmute button for Google Meet.

Literally glued in a RPi Pico, added 15 lines of Python code to make it show up as a keyboard with exactly one key - the space bar - and that's it.

People usually give me the side eye when I tell them that I love alcohol free white wine. But to me, its the perfect summer+code drink.
