#introduction Hi, I'm a masc-y enby Dane living near #Geelong. I've called Australia home for almost 12 years. I have been writing software professionally for ~20 years in a wife variety of programming languages; including but not limited to: C/C++, C#, Python, JavaScript, Rust, Go, Erlang, VBScript. I've worked in a range of different industries but have had most fun when the outcome was to enrich peoples lives. Occasionally I'll post about my #beagles on #DogsOfFedi #DogsOfMastodon (see photo attached for dog tax) I'd like to do more #electronics and #embedded projects both in my free time and at work. So I keep my #kicad, #freecad and #RustEmbedded/ #RustLang skill trees full of points. #BoardGames are often being played with my wife and friends. Trying to find #ttrpg buddies for afk play I don't post much about #baking or #sourdough, but I have a starter that I've kept around for a number of years now. My wife and I make pizzas and burgers weekly. We both love cooking and entertaining guests with elaborate meals. I used to do a lot of #SCUBA #diving before 2020 came around. I even trained to be an open water instructor. I dream of a #SolarPunk future and to live in a society where hate doesn't fill every heart with darkness. Recently picked up #LockPicking as a fiddle activity while waiting for $job things compiling (Building #NixOS on aarch64 takes a long time) Wish to ditch my phone for an open computing platform and I secretly want to develop an OS too but that does require a lot of spoons that I currently don't possess.

After years of promises, real-time Linux is actually shipping. The mainstream take is that this is about lower latency, but the real story is deterministic scheduling for control systems that can't tolerate jitter. PREEMPT_RT removes the final excuse for proprietary RTOS holdouts, and that's a bigger deal than most realize. #kernel #realtime #embedded

Real-time Linux merging upstream isn't just a technical milestone-it's a quiet admission that the kernel needed decades of catch-up to match purpose-built RTOSes, and the real test is adoption, not patches. #linux #realtime #embedded

@bagder@mastodon.social I'd still rather stick with a #NoAI policy like @mrmasterkeyboard… I'm judt pissed that the amount of #AIslop harms #legacy / #embedded #Support on #Linux and becomes a pain in the ass to me working on @OS1337@infosec.space…

@rootwyrm@weird.autos Worse even: #Linux planning to kill #i486SX / #i486 support is a huge blow.to #embedded & #industrial systems!

@foone@digipres.club I worked until recently at Aurora Innovation: https://aurora.tech/careers Note that the #embedded jobs are listed under hardware. The job I quit in December is still open . . . Aurora was a great place to work, with offices in Pittsburgh, San Francisco, Mountain View, Seattle, Detroit and multiple Texas locations.
