Okay I definitely need this now! KC-135 hummingbird feeder

wow! this is the feeling of the new Sony Walkman: an Android powered mp3 player that cost between 2000 and 6000 USD! 💸

why Nios II have a good CPI and Nios V not? 🤔

A tribute to Stanford — running on KIANV STEALTHV.
My custom SystemVerilog SoC running Linux SMP on an FPGA. Four RV32IMA cores, Sv32 MMU and coherent L1/L2 caches. Still optimizing the L2, but already happy with the results.
Nine Stanford 3D models with up to 6,000 triangles each. Fixed-point rendering, Gouraud shading and a 16-bit Z-buffer at 320×240.
All four cores dynamically share rasterization work in 8-row tiles, while framebuffer DMA and ALSA handle video and EBM audio under Linux.

wow! I tested yesterday! and it not even finishes the installation without crashing! which was very good, because I double checked the image and found out I mistakenly used the version 26 instead of the stable version 24 (aka "rustless" version) 🤣
It's definitely not a cult. Wink, wink.

KIANV StealthV — my custom quad-core RISC-V Linux SoC, written in SystemVerilog and running on FPGA.
An X-Wing rotates through a moving starfield, zooms across the screen and switches between Gouraud shading, wireframe and points.
No GPU — all 3D rendering runs on the four CPU cores. Four pinned workers handle fixed-point transforms, lighting and rasterization: 6,717 triangles at native 320×240, around 25 FPS on average.
RV32IMA, Sv32, private L1 caches, coherent shared L2, framebuffer DMA and ALSA audio running together under Linux SMP.

well, I guess this code was originally designed to process pixel by pixel… someone optimized with memcpy() to process line by line, but forgot remove the extra pixel loop! 🤣
"Smells like agenda" -- Theo de Raadt
Ubuntu 26.10 has been released.
The big new feature? Ubuntu “completes the rollout of the Rust-based uutils coreutils”.
To give you an idea how important “re-write everything in Rust” is to the team at Canonical:
- “Rust” was mentioned 8 times in the short press release. And “Rust” is highlighted in the sub-title of the announcement as well as the first paragraph.
- On the flip-side, “Linux” was only mentioned 3 times. And not talked about until the end of the release.
Based on this (and every other statement from the Ubuntu team), it’s clear that “Rust” is the most important thing for Ubuntu right now.
