We are thrilled to be sponsoring Everything Open 2026 in Canberra.
Open source is at the core of what we do - we are contributors to, and users of, open source projects, and we're delighted to support the community through our sponsorship too.
Hopefully we’ll see you there!

based on prior experiences with the locking, the locking probably does not want to be fixed anyway
After adding support for constrained-memory environments to the Deku parser, we've had some interest in using Deku for #rustlang binary parsing.
So, Andrew has put together a great Deku walkthrough doc, parsing the ELF format as an example.
Read all about it at codeconstruct.com.au/docs/deku-el...
Code Constructionist @arjeffery.bsky.social has recently had contributions to #rust crate Deku merged, which allow implementing safe, reliable, binary-protocol parsing within #embedded microcontroller environments.
We have a news post published, at codeconstruct.com.au/news/deku-co...
Graph of PostgreSQL connections to patchwork database, showing a steep drop in idle connections at midday UTC Tuesday
... so, uh, if you're working at TI and your patchwork downloader has stopped working, maybe get in touch?
Both have been blocked, responses seem much more snappy now.
Looking at the request logs, a few culprits: a single IP (in Texas Instruments' allocation) repeatedly downloading all u-boot patches over the last 4 years, around 300kB per request. Less obvious, but a whole /22 of Alibaba Singapore iterating /api URLs, using a generic Safari/Windows user agent.
CPU load seems fine; a fair amount of IO, but nothing too severe. Typically around 15 req/sec. No specific system issues, but a lot of waiting on either wsgi handlers, or postgres transactions (the former likely due to the latter).
patchwork.ozlabs.org has been slow on response times lately, and I have recently had a few emails from project maintainers asking why. I had managed to get some time to look into it over the last few days.

as opposed to the forth interpreter that it usually runs when booted, right?
We are delighted to announce that Code Construct has joined the Rust Foundation as a Silver Member. We're glad to be able to support the Foundation, who provide important infrastructure and investment to the Rust ecosystem.

New documents post is up: Rust crates for MCTP!
codeconstruct.com.au/docs/mctp-ru...
We've been working away on some core Management Component Transport Protocol (MCTP) support for Rust, and this post gives an introduction to the (all open source!) code involved.
NIST Standard Reference Material package, labelled "Text Editor".
Rig made of four clamps, scrap wood, and a spiral level, for making a small routed groove in a laundry sink cutout.
no, *you're* an overengineer
🤔 how does this compare to, say, a train?
Mouser product table for GLASGOW-C3 (Interface Development Tools FPGA-Based Board for Analyzing Digital Electronics) and GLASGOW-C3-AL-CASE (Enclosures, Boxes & Cases Anodized Aluminum CNC Milled Case, Screws and Lightpipes for LEDs) by 1bitSquared
#GlasgowInterfaceExplorer is now available at Mouser!
Our new Management Component Transport Protocol (MCTP) transport driver has landed in the just-released v6.15 Linux kernel, so we have a new doc on our website with a few details. Enjoy!

We're honoured to be able to support @everythingopen.au again this year, and of course, to be attending too! 🎉
Looking forward to a great conf. Come and say hi!
