The new UNBRK HEX boards have arrived! An improved version of the UNBRK, this ultra-compact prototyping board for QFP48/64/100/144 MCUs has wider trace geometry for better low-power performance, provisions for header pins, and an improved, unique 0201 prototyping grid to experiment with components reclaimed from #ewaste. #openhardware released under the CERN-OHL-S and supported by @nlnet and @NGIZero, you can find its repository at https://repo.unbina.re/unbinare/UNBRK_HEX #fosdem2026

Give it a watch to learn a bit about trust and safety and Osprey, our open source automated rules engine and investigation tool!
You can now learn how Roto's integration with Rust works under the hood from the comfort of your own home (instead of a very crowded campus), because my FOSDEM talk has been published!
Props to the @fosdem team for publishing the videos so quickly! It's very impressive!
