Devtalks 2023 - Serving Serverless on your Own Servers
I'll be presenting at Bucharest's Romexpo in this summer's DevTalks developer conference
The latest version of my OS for ATmega AVRs, AVRoxide, is now available - with drivers for storage and graphics devices.
Rust compilation for AVR was broken for the longest time... Now it's not!
A new release of AVRoxide, my OS for ATmega AVRs, is out - now with multithreading!
Subtle differences in interrupt handling on AVR microcontrollers
There are subtle differences between the way interrupts are handled on different AVR microcontrollers. I didn't see this written in plain English anywhere, so I'll have a go.
Finally: AVRoxide - a *working* Rust runtime for ATmega4809
It's been quite a few months' work, with many challenges along the way - but finally I'm pleased to announce that I have a working runtime for writing applications in Rust for the ATmega4809 microcontroller (and thus also for the Arduino Nano Every.)
You Won't Believe How to Make `rustc` Generate Working Optimised Code for ATmega4809
Until I discovered this trick, I couldn't build working ATmega4809 Rust code with anything other than optimisation level 1...
Working Rust code insight in CLion
Code insight/code completion in CLion doesn't work when you use a custom target.json - here's how to fix it
Finally, a Working Atmega4809 Debugger
(**Updated 2021/12/24**) Finding any debugging tools for the ATmega4809 is a massive chore. Finally, I've found one option that at least partially works.
On Convergence of Embedded and Server-Side Development
Embedded and server-side development skills have diverged over the last three decades. But maybe it's time we reversed that...

Rust on Arduino Nano Every Part Two
More helpful developments in the ongoing challenge of getting anything useful done in Rust on the Arduino Nano Every microcontroller board.
I've been fighting with Linux serial port programming lately, and one thing I've realised is that the Linux `termios` manpage is *terribly* formatted. Here's a nicer quick reference.
A crazy year, and help for Rust devs with JWT problems
Damn. Can you believe it's halfway through 2021 already? It's been a crazy busy year... Also inside, some small help to developers using Rust and actix-web.

Setting Up a Blender Rendering Node - Part 2
Part two of my instructions on how to set up a render 'farm' using Docker & Kubernetes
This definitely falls into the category of 'The Old New Thing' - I now have a home on the Gemini protocol.
Setting Up a Blender Rendering Node Using Docker - Part 1
Docker is a nice way to deploy an instance of Blender for rendering, but not without its pitfalls. Some tips here...
Zen and the Art of Cable Management
I expect you're looking at that thinking 'damn, I wish my cables were so tidy.' Well, now they can be...
Here's a helm chart to help you host Mastodon on a Kubernetes cluster
We're all trying to work out what to do with our holiday time in the Covid-19 world where travel is not much of an option. My answer was to take time off work to learn how to use Autodesk Fusion360 - and I'm willing to share the result...
An interesting paper in the current ACM Transactions on the Web
Spotted this week, a super interesting paper published by the ACM, 'Unveiling Elite Developers’ Activities in Open Source Projects'
A rant...

If you are hosting a Kubernetes environment, one of the most important things you need is a centralised logging solution. Read on for my recommendation on how to do it on the cheap.
Are your Kubernetes logs full of errors like \TLS handshake error\? Maybe this will help.
You're probably wondering why I am writing this stuff.
From my disk to your browser...
I talked about the CMS I use last time round, but I didn't talk about how the content is actually published so you can read it. If you want to know how easy it is to deploy a static site with Docker/Kubernetes, read on...
...I'm glad you asked. This site is a departure from my earlier sites, using a Static Site Generator instead of a traditional CMS like Wordpress. Read on for details...
A site this popular must be running on some pretty serious kit, right? Come and take a look.
There's a few things missing from this site compared to the last iteration. Some of which I'm glad about...
