  • I’m tired

    If we have a few places in common, be it online chats or the virtual worlds of Resonite, you’ve probably noticed that I’m appearing less and less often. There’s a pretty good reason for that: I’m just so tired. 2025 has been something for me, I got a radio license and callsign, joined the Resonite…

  • Porting Resonite’s Headless Server Software to ARM

    I promised it a few months ago, and here it is: ARM support for the Resonite Headless Server Software is now generally available.So, what took so long in doing the port?
