I thought the @districtcon.bsky.social year 0 badge was one of the most beautiful pieces of PCB art I’d ever seen w the cherry blossoms and the backlit LED, so I finally got around to making it into a little night light for my office.
Made it home for some snow cream today 😋
I need to pack x-country skis next time 😁
My buddy @travisgoodspeed talking @districtcon about dumping the ROM in Chinese clone STM32s we found in embedded RE class 😁
It is the tradition of my people that upon returning from a journey I must present tribute, and if the tribute is deemed acceptable, I will be welcomed back into the tribe.
We're really excited to present our Sponsors Job Board! If you are in the market for a new role, check out the listings on our page. These roles are curated by our sponsors and they'll be at DistrictCon Year 1 ready to chat about the roles! T-3 days! 😎

Do you sell your screen kits? I bought one to fix up an old GBC a few years ago but it was not great.
A die photo of the 8086 microprocessor. The image shows a tan square with complex patterns of beige and dark lines showing the circuitry. Thicker light lines distribute power across the chip while black bond wires are attached around the edges. Various regions with different patterns are labeled with their function including a large rectangular region in the lower right that holds the microcode and the 16-bit ALU in the lower left. The ALU Control circuit at the bottom is highlighted.
The arithmetic/logic unit (ALU) in the Intel 8086 processor (1978) is more complicated than you might expect, performing 28 different operations from addition and logical AND to shifts and BCD adjustment. A special control circuit reconfigures the ALU for each operation. Let's look closer...
DISTRICTCON IS STILL A GO! We are excited to see you all on Saturday, January 24 as we are still going through our normal programming!
While we are unable to process refunds, we are adding virtual components to Saturday AND Sunday including a livestream for public sessions for ticket holders.
Likewise and thank you sir
All packed for @districtcon.bsky.social ! Planning to Metro in and leave Sat night, but I’m prepped for anything…like, y’know a power outage?
We still have seats open for @blackhoodie.bsky.social at @districtcon.bsky.social on January 23rd in Washington DC! The class will be reverse engineering their way through an integer overflow bug in libpng 🤓

Made a new dev kit with 2 N-type inputs.
Anybody going to @districtcon.bsky.social ?
I guess if you do it wrong you can get it to clump up and curdle, but that’s why they give you instructions 😆
Sure, why not?
You can definitely heat milk, it’s fine 😆 hot milk is used in lots of stuff like lattes
I made cigar box dev kits for my friends (maybe the best embedded hackers in the world) for Christmas this year. We use them at work for portable embedded RE/dev. Used two Arturo Fuente boxes.
All I want for Christmas is to not have to participate in anxiety Christmas ever again.
‘‘Twas the night before Christmas…
Take a shot every time you hear “never seen before” 🥃🇺🇸
Welp…guess we’re not decorating the tree this year 😆
Dang I’m sorry
Tempted to do some clandestine RE at my boys’ tournament 😆
I just don’t agree with “objectively horrible” 😆.
I actually like the taste believe it or not 🤣
Apparently the PA state store picked it up in April this year!
