I'm running a campaign on Crowd Supply for my new ManT1S board: a tiny #ESP32 module with T1S Single Pair #Ethernet, including #power distribution and a cool #networked #development model based on Micro #Python! Please help me spread the word and sign up for updates if you have any interest at all! (Crowd Supply now pauses project progress until there are at least 200 signups.) #embedded #distributed #electronics #maker #projects

I've been loving Element Matrix video chat for a few months now. I regularly have video chats with my family, including 4 or 5 video connections from various remote locations for 3 or 4 hours each. Also, it's proved pretty easy to start video chatting with people that I meet on Mastodon in a privacy preserving way.

"Choreographic programming is a paradigm for concurrent and distributed software, whereby descriptions of the intended communications (choreographies) are automatically compiled into [decentralized code.
It is difficult to combine w/higher-order functions]: compilation is not modular (editing a part might require recompiling everything) and the generated code can perform unexpected global synchronisations."
