My DIY low-power 6 SSD NAS based on the Quartz64 ARM board ARM SBCs have been around for a few years now. They were made popular and accessible mostly by the RaspberryPi released in 2012. I’ve been enjoying building countless projects around these boards : we...

If you're interested, here is a link to the previous build of this NAS : pine64.org/2022/06/03/m...

This is the first time I design a 3D model! I don't even own a 3D printer! It's not perfect, but I'm happy with the result!

#FOSDEM LET'S GOOOOOO!

Thank you for letting us know in advance!
I was planning on coming from Liege by train, but I guess I'll try to find an alternative in case there's no train at all :/

It even runs @jetbrains.com #CLion very reasonably!

I've just installed "generic" #Fedora 42 workstation on my #OrangePi5+ thanks to #EDK2 and it works very well out of the box (display, GPU, Ethernet, USB).
