QOA Benchmark Results and File Format Specification
The specification for the Quite OK Audio Format,
announced in a previous blog post,
is now finalized. QOA is a lossy audio compression format. Typical audio

Tillitis TKey
The Tillitis TKey, which I first wrote about in September last year,
is now available for sale at the the Tillitis webshop.
The TKey is a small bare-bones RISC-V computer in a USB stick form
factor with no persistent storage that measures apps uploaded to it
and derives a deterministic secret every time the same app is started.
You can use it, for instance, as a security token to keep your private
key and do signing operations. Everyt … ⌘ Read more

💭 While some people like to jump between blogging software all the time, or go back to Hugo from a custom one, I don’t really miss Hugo after switching to GoBlog in 2020, but enjoy having my own system quite a bit. Not that Hugo, WordPress, etc. are bad blogging systems, but I really enjoy being able to quickly code a fix without having to research docs, StackOverflow, or the source on GitHub. And when I have an idea for a new feature, it would often not be easy to implement in the existing systems. ⌘ Read more
