A USB library for Nerves and another one for the SONY MiniDisc. What in the slop-goblins is going on here? https://github.com/lawik/circuits_usb I was restless coming out of work, into vacation and just twitching over to my phone constantly so I started a little effort. Claude Code instance to exercise Fable on my computer and then /remote-control to use it on my phone. #elixir

@victor oh, that is something that can totally make my life worse any day now. Ivory is pretty flat, dense and a bit custom it seems to me. I could see how making it Liquid would be tricky without doing all the wasted space it usually involves.

Alembic are some of my favorite co-conspirators. Beyond their deep expertise in Ash they are just invested and knowledgeable in the ecosystem. They care deeply and provide a lot of maintainer hours. Look out for James Harton&#39;s robots and Rebecca Le unfurling the Elder Scrolls during this Goatmire. https://goatmire.com/sponsor/alembic #elixir #goatmire

Need to get some control of the cloud that you run your Elixir on? This is the crew. BEAMOps are showing up for Goatmire with two workshops that would normally be paid corporate training. https://goatmire.com/sponsor/beamops #elixir #goatmire

Since I don&#39;t know how this library will evolve I rebranded from circuits (established, trusted, serious) to bodge (pragmatic, non-beautiful, inelegant). And I put them on Hex. So introducing: https://hex.pm/packages/bodge_usb Talks to USB devices on Linux. https://hex.pm/packages/bodge_usb_gadget Implements USB devices on Linux. #elixir

@marcoarment and @siracusa This seems relevant to your interests. Some company benchmarking Apple&#39;s new speech transcription vs old one and Whisper. https://get-inscribe.com/blog/apple-speech-api-benchmark.html

Currently looking for companies willing to chip in to support the next EEF stipend for Bart&#39;s awesome work on Hologram. Either contact me to have the EEF manage the stipend, milestones and follow-through or contact Bart directly to support him more hands-on. https://youtu.be/qqpNovT7cys?is=xJ2lNtDINoaHzN-x #elixir

Not sure I even shared this blog post. How you get nice Erlang tracing when you didn&#39;t prepare by adding tracing tools. https://underjord.io/injecting-tracing-the-hot-way.html #elixir #erlang

@imyke the stuff Claude is useful for sometimes.. I never remember the name Bellroy when thinking about bags. But I remember who talked about it. Claude was also very clear that you did not switch entirely away from Peak Design for all items.

Watching ticket sales for your event is nerve-wracking. But just had a nice 9-ticket bump from a company that seem to be bringing a whole-ass team. On that note, if you want to do Goatmire, there won&#39;t be one next year and we don&#39;t know when the final ticket-buying rush starts. We&#39;ll be packing the place to the limit so when full, it is completely full. https://goatmire.com/ #elixir #goatmire

@viticci I wonder if you&#39;d prefer KDE to whatever the Ubuntu default is these days. It is a relatively cohesive experience. It doesn&#39;t try to be MacOS. It definitely isn&#39;t Windows. And it has a lot to offer for power users without sending you into the terminal constantly. Quite easy to try via Kubuntu. I&#39;d be curious to hear how you like it. Not affiliated, just prefer it personally.

Rather than using &quot;AI&quot; you can actually _do_ AI/ML. The math, the code, the whole thing. Way fancier than writing text prompts. Alvise is coming to Goatmire to show you how with a proper ML workshop. https://www.goatmire.com/talk/demystifying-ml-and-ai #goatmire #elixir

Get your Nerves device onto Home Assistant. Kevin Schweikert has been brewing a special batch of Elixir nerd catnip. People will get silly on this stuff. I already have several devices up and running with Homex. Get your dashboards ready! https://www.goatmire.com/talk/make-yourself-at-home-x #elixir #goatmire

Days working on the Sentry SDK and the rest of the time spent thinking about and working on agents. Peter Solnica is an OG in the Ruby community, has been doing Elixir for a long time now and will be bringing his perspectives on coding agents and Elixir. https://goatmire.com/talk/i-see-dead-agents We were very selective about AI and agent talks for Goatmire, we think you&#39;ll find the ones we picked interesting whether you appreciate the bots or not. #goatmire #elixir

I don&#39;t know what I could possibly say about this one that is not answered in the description or communicated through the title. Having seen the conversation about the actual thesis work on ElixirForum I&#39;m also technically curious. https://www.goatmire.com/talk/we-got-communist-nerves-before-gta-6-lol #elixir #goatmire

Some databases are built different. Teresa Lopes joins us from the Postgres community to share her experiences scaling, running and maintaining a big ol&#39; Postgres database. 100TB is non-trivial it turns out. https://www.goatmire.com/talk/operational-hazards-of-managing-postgresql-dbs-over-100tb #elixir #goatmire

BeamOps return and they bring fundamentals. This talk will get you all good and settled in your work with using containers, such as Docker. This is one of the talks that will really benefit any dev, I hope a lot of local Varberg devs make use of it. https://www.goatmire.com/talk/docker-101 #goatmire #elixir

Get hands on with AtomVM in this workshop by Davide Bettio. AtomVM is a very cool project in the Erlang ecosystem that is coming more and more into the spotlight. Running Elixir and Erlang within tight memory constraints is a heck of a sport. #goatmire #elixir

Vague hope that LLMs will lead to better integration surface area for services and way more hackable hardware. Currently turning my glinet xe300 into an offloading/publishing flow for my dumbass Sony camera. Because FTP is way better than their app..

Heading to the airport after a lovely ElixirConf EU. Thanks to all of you that helped make this awesome and an extra shoutout to all of you who came to my talk. I had a lot of fun. Felt good to present at the conf again. Alembic hack house sessions were a good closer. #elixirconfeu

Oh, I almost missed that the ElixirConf EU photo gallery is out. Now you can play the &quot;who is wearing a shirt Lars made while presenting&quot; game that I invented. Was 3 for 3 for the first bit at the very least. Some lovely photos in there. Get at it. https://codesync.pixieset.com/elixirconfeu2026/ #elixir

@hotdogsladies random viral music recommendations I think you&#39;d enjoy. Did you have a Sleep Token moment when they were the thing? Otherwise, recommend. I had a week recently when my entire YouTube was just people listening to Maphra and Angine de Poitrine. I assume these have reached you and that you enjoyed them in some manner but doesn&#39;t hurt to make sure :)

Goatmire Elixir speaker announcements begin with Evadne Wu. &quot;our design takes death seriously .. managed with dignity&quot; Evadne Wu consistently gives fascinating talks. We were very selective with what agent-oriented talks we accepted for Goatmire. She hit some really interesting points. https://goatmire.com/talk/the-rebirth-of-an-elixir-based-personal-agent #goatmire #elixir
