A little over a week ago, I hinted at writing an article on my journey to take a couple of web services out of Azure Functions and to self-host them on FreeBSD. Well, here it is! Enjoy.

EndBASIC 0.12 is out. Nothing major here except for a question to you at the end of the announcement. But stay tuned for the next one, which is gonna be huge. https://www.endbasic.dev/2026/05/endbasic-0.12.html

I actually just had some fun revamping the EndBASIC website (upgrade to Bootstrap 5, make the front page look modern, add Win 3.x borders to code samples, add sidebar...) and it's looking pretty cool, I think 😀
The recording of my EndBASIC talk at BSDCan 2025 is now available: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZFYTInWAqc — Watch to learn about the inner makings of the "EndBASIC OS" RPI disk image. Thanks to the A/V team for getting it out!

Look, I have upgraded to Liquid Glass too. It kinda sucks.

Spending time with NixOS and using Claude to fill in the gaps for things I need. I'm not too familiar with nixpkgs so I'm holding off sending the PRs until I can actually read the docs and validate what AI has done for me.
My talk about the OS powering the EndBOX is coming quick next week, so I had to rush getting this out so... I guess it's official now? https://www.endbasic.dev/2025/06/unveiling-the-endbox.html Join me in this craziness and let's make it happen!
Happy Friday! The instructions to build your very own EndBASIC microcomputer (aka the EndBOX), including links to components AND the very first public disk images 😱, are now available. Have fun! https://www.endbasic.dev/2025/07/endbox-diy-kit.html
Instructions for the DIY kit ready and the very first release builds are in the oven. Interested in early, privileged access? https://coff.ee/jmmv !
Work on the EndBOX continues (and you've seen some of it via tweets here), so... here is the first weekly progress report! https://buymeacoffee.com/jmmv/weekly-progress-report-2025-06-22
TIL about Tildes. Do any of you have an invite? I see the EndBOX has been shared there and I ought to engage!

@jbowen Heh, but you have https://github.com/jmmv/sourcachefs (referenced in the article), which does have a pun in it.
