Black Magic Debug V2.1.0-rc1 Firmware pre-release! It has been a while since our previous release there is a lot of new things in here. Read the release notes, test it out on your setup, and help us find all the remaining gremlins this release might contain! 🥰 codeberg.org/blackmagic-d...

I realized something: I like computers and programming. I like the process of understanding how they work and how to make them do what I want them to do. LLMs makes that process worse and more frustrating. People using them make collaboration less fun. It is another reason why I hate this stuff...

We are doubling down on NO AI, we just added a strict set of clauses to our Black Magic Debug CoC. I still need to spread it among the other project repositories. The version from the Zig CoC spoke to me and my fellow project maintainers/developers so we adopted it. codeberg.org/blackmagic-d...

If you feel like you need to use llm codegen, consider using drugs instead, they are better for you and people around you...

Black Magic Debug is now officially moved to #codeberg! We put together a blog post describing how you can redirect your cloned repositories, continue working on your PRs, as well as some reasoning behind the move. 🧳 Let us know if you have questions or comments! :) black-magic.org/blog/2026-04...

We moved to Codeberg

Hi everyone! As some of you might have noticed we moved Black Magic Debug to Codeberg. All the repositories that used to be hosted on GitHub are now marked as archived, and an archive branch is set...

This would be incredibly easy to foresee for everyone who managed to realize what fuel is and that renewable technologies do not require fuel to operate but y'know thinking isn't popular these days.

Jan Rosenow@janrosenow.bsky.social · 5mo ago

Spain's renewables build-out has structurally decoupled its electricity prices from gas markets. Gas now sets the price in only 15% of hours, compared to 90% in Italy. Countries that invested early in clean power are far less exposed to fossil fuel price shocks. Those that didn't now pay the price.

We did it! We moved Black Magic Debug project to Codeberg! 🎉 codeberg.org/blackmagic-d... Thank you #codeberg for all the hard work to offer an alternative! Onwards and upwards! 🚀

If you call yourself apolitical and expect others and their youtube content to be apolitical. This is a video for you. Take your time, get a snack, and watch the full F’in video… you might actually learn something for once. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtQ9...

You are being misled about renewable energy technology.

@techconnectify.bsky.social thank you for the most recent video. I did not expect to end up being emotional at the end. But here we are. You put things in words that I could not have.

On her livestream tonight, #IL09 candidate Kat Abughazaleh teased what appears to be a new 60-second-long campaign ad

🎉 #Teardown2026 will be happening 24-26th July. We're in a cool new space: the Jupiter on Burnside. Our 60s mall era is dead, long live our 60s motel era. Tickets, calls for participation + volunteers, and general info on the @crowdsupply.bsky.social site: www.crowdsupply.com/teardown/por...

I've been busy trying to reverse engineer a fairly complicated circuit board.

I have a special project in the works. Time to cut MDF!

For Black Magic Probe v3 development, I designed a little breakout carrier. We will likely spend some quality time with a debugger hooked up to it so I think it will be a worthwhile. The SMT threaded inserts are really nice. I also 3D printed a base to keep the TH pins from scratching the table. ;)

This is a grassroots campaign: “Abughazaleh reports over $1.1 million in individual contributions under $200, making up around 74% of her contribution totals. In contrast, over 90% of Biss’ campaign contributions come from big-money donations of over $200.” dailynorthwestern.com/2025/10/20/c...

Hey everyone! Tune in to @katmabu.bsky.social stream either on YT or Twitch. They are trying to prove that streams are better way to spend time of candidates than calling rich people for donations. Let's show their theory is correct! :) Consider donating at secure.actblue.com/donate/katst...

Seattle No Kings from the monorail

A Video impression of the #NoKings 2 march in #Eugene #Oregon It was a really pretty autumn day. Lot's of patriotic people came out. I hope you get some good vibes from it as I did. :) #nokings2 #resist #resistence

Some photo impressions from #nokings in #eugene #oregon It was _SIGNIFICANTLY_ bigger than NoKings 1 and way more cars were honking too! #nokings2 #resistance #resist

I feel bad involving Germans in any of this. But it works in the US context very well to convey a message. (see alt text for description) #nokings #nokings2 #protest #USA

I might be using codeberg (aka. forgejo) more in the future. I am unreasonably excited to see how many merge options it offers, but mainly "fast-forward only" is in there! ❤️ Why can't I have it on GitHub 💔

I am bit shocked that there were only 2 other people in 7 years that also thought that having resizable objects (logos, graphics) for PCBs would be a useful addition. :/ Running campaigns around useful KiCad feature requests is something we should be doing? #kicad #pcb #electronics #opensource

For some time @securelyfitz.bsky.social and I have been working on a new hardware security tool. A tiny m.2 WiFi module sized FPGA board allowing the access to the PCIe interface. You can sign up for updates for when the campaign launches, some time next year. #EpicErebus #fpga

"the AI knows it did something wrong" Nah man, the AI knows nothing. It has no understanding. No critical thinking skills. It's just giving you a reasonably likely response to the garbage you yell at it. It's a Ouija board with terminal access.

The long awaited Black Magic Debug V2.0.0 release is finally here! A big update with a lot of improvements and newly supported targets. It pairs very well with bmputil, make sure to give it a try! Thanks to everyone who contributed! 🙂 #opensource #debugger #electronics #jtag #swd #arm #riscv
