I have been writing a FAT32 driver to understand the FAT32 file system. It is very exciting as this is my first time I am dabbling with file systems. I will be porting this to my baremetal firmware for the MINI2440 SBC.

That's a pretty cool project

I'm working on a SaaS project to eliminate all the burden with VPN tunnels. I'm planning to mainly target developers that have resources spread among different providers and need a secure way to either connect to them or connect resources to each other. It will be easy to setup and seamless to use. You'll just have your VMs connected between them on the same local network, so all your application will seamlessly work…

The idea seems very interesting. Would you care explaining how you tackle these issues?

I'm building a new controller board for Apple Wireless Keyboard (A1314) so that I could have complete control on what each button does and add new functionality (e.g. switch b/w devices quickly, fast blutooth connect/reconnect, longer battery life, mouse control).

Sounds interesting. Would it be applicable to laptops too? I was thinking it'd be great if I could add functionality to my built in kb

I presume it'd be a lot harder since the builtin one hooks straight onto the main board. One could perhaps turn the builtin keyboard into a USB one and hooks it up to an unused port.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I intend to do that too. Why don't we all get on a chat room and work at it?

Let's do this. Feel free to join: https://bettercomputer.slack.com

Me and a fellow student are working on such a system: https://github.com/Symatem/Symatem. We are interested in joining the Slack group: Alexander.Meissner at student.hpi.de and Niklas.Riekenbrauck at student.hpi.de

I started building a personal dashboard app that centralizes a few things I do all the time in one place: task management, note-taking, GitHub assigned issues/PRs, etc. Health tracking is next on my list of features to implement. Then I'll probably do a design pass.

It's not really intended for use by anyone but me, but the code is open source anyway. https://github.com/BenOvermyer/kettle-dashboard

I'm building micro - a microservices toolkit https://github.com/micro/micro . I was part of the platform team at Hailo which built a global microservices platform and before then spent some time at Google. I think with the shift to cloud and docker, being able to build distributed systems is becoming ever more important but the tooling hasn't caught up yet. The goal of micro is to simplify building and managing distr…
