Porting Alpine Linux to RISC-V
I recently received my HiFive Unleashed, after several excruciating months of waiting, and it’s incredibly cool. For those unaware, the HiFive Unleashed is the first consumer-facing Linux-capable RISC-V hardware. For anyone who’s still lost, RISC-V is an open, royalty-free instruction set architecture, and the HiFive is an open CPU implementing it. And here it is on my dining room table:
This board is cool. I’m working on making this hardware available to builds.sr.ht users in the next few months, where I intend to use it to automate the remainder of the Alpine Linux port and make it available to any other operating systems (including non-Linux) and userspace software which are interested in...

I’m happy to announce today that I’m opening sr.ht (pronounced “sir hat”, or any other way you want) to the general public for the remainder of the alpha period. Though it’s missing some of the features which will be available when it’s completed, sr.ht today represents a very capable software forge which is already serving the needs of many projects in the free & open source software community. If you’re familiar with the project and ready to register your account, you can head straight to the sign up page.
For those who are new, let me explain what makes sr.ht special. It provides many of the trimmings you’re used...
ToxCon 2018 report
This year’s ToxCon was super fun, thanks to everyone who attended it!
If you have missed the event, list of talks, talk slides and some photos from the event are available online. No videos are available as it was decided not to record the talks.

Here are a couple of the photos from...
