I'm more overjoyed that the microchip has evolved enough to become "disposable"
I've been meaning to dig in and see what I could do with these. This is very cool! I wonder if it's getting hot from the amount of people trying to visit the website.
People, can you please stop accessing the vape hosted page so I can have a look too.
It's the same page as the one OP linked to; just look at that and pretend.
I thought it was my turn now.
Edit: very cool project. I didn’t understand half of what he describes, but being able to pull this off is impressive.
Honestly with the speed of that server it could just be scrapping bots overloading it.
Lemmy hug of death?
If Lemmy is knocking over GitHub we've grown an awful lot more than I could imagine.
Edit: actually realised what was going on. Apologies.
Haha yeah I didn't get through as well
This is fun, I saw a YouTube video earlier today from a guy who wrote a bare metal Minecraft server to run on a 1 dollar ~~arm~~ riscV chip. These type of projects are always fun to see.
1 dollar Espressif chip.
Good catch, I was thinking esp32s were arm, this one is riscv.
I like to think that the website is only accessible when someone is hitting the vape.
This is exciting for me only because I've been amassing a collection for their batteries, and not I also have a decent amount of boards & displays that go with them. I've been meaning to probe around on them but I've not had the time
If if has any kind of screen i want to see Doom on it.
Fuck, that’s really cool
Quick, somebody run the Apollo code off of it and land somebody on the moon
Ideally a billionaire

Hey, we could probably do at least 3 at a time. And cost wise, I think a couple 4x4s, rope, and an angled blade would be far better.
