epic collection of video game hardware. From shrunken handhelds to retro builds, MAME emulators, and whimsical creations, this shows off the best custom gaming hardware you'll find anywhere.

Working on a more thought-out post on this but I thought I'd get some feedback before diving too deep.

How about an Identity #coop ? A simple but solid #oauth identity provider that also advocates for it's inclusion as an idp to the services used by its members.

Convenience of single sign-on with the smallest possible security risk surface area and, being a co-op, members (users) decide what data is collected, shared, etc.

I have more but I'll stop here for now :)

@alienghic Obscurity is certainly a factor, but I disagree that cost/difficulty are limiting factors.

I think a lot of effort has gone into convincing people that they are incapable of owning & operating these services but it's nothing compared to some of the other systems people consider essential (automobiles, for example).

One of the big things I'm taking-away so far reading the platform #co-op book is that we really need a standards-based reputation/identity system.

I remember reading some protocol-level work on this a few years back when I was getting into #unhosted architectures.

Clearly something that demands a decentralized approach.

How do you feel about Rust (lang) for system/embedded/etc. programming?

Is it reasonable for targeting ARM, RISC-V, etc.?

I needed to brush-up my C skills to work on adding some features to this:

After a few attempts at using new materials, I found myself re-reading my ancient copy of K&R.

There's plenty of issues with that book, but working-through it with a modern computer feels akin to manipulating a fission reactor with your bare hands.

These machines have a lot of power when you don't waste it.

Tired: venture Capitalism
Wired: venture communism

Of course I'd love to work full-time on #raiden so even at this early stage I think about how the project might facilitate that.

My initial thoughts follow the typical paths (kits, kickstarter, patreon, etc.) but reading "Ours to hack and own" has me wondering if there is a co-op approach to this.

I have a couple ideas but it's all pretty fuzzy. I'm wondering if any of the #coop folks here have any thoughts, or have seen something like this done before?
