... it's all just old computers and having fun so anyone can do what makes them happy, and I'll happily give pointers if I can.

underlying API changes would need client changes regardless (and would be a pretty terrible API not versioned!) And sure volunteer infra can have issues (if server is open thats less of an issue) I just am not seeing the "juce is worth the squeeze" here... but

What does fujinet do that it needs to talk to modern API's? A proxy seems like a straight forward solution vs coding something for every platform, especially ones that have a tcp/ip stack already.

If you're building vintage apps why use ssl/tls json/xml at all? Seems like a more straigth forward approch to use what you have on the platform (sockets and a simple fixed/tab format)

Another day, another @home-assistant.io issue. Click update to to 2025.07.4 - breaks running system. Reboot comes back. Click update again seems to update but still on .3. Click update again it does nothing.

What kind of features would we add to BlueSCSI? We are a layer 2 device, the host does the layer 3 tcp/ip stuff, so apps could just be written in MacOS to play/submit scores.

Same book I started on too, first one to really click and not gloss over 1980's details we dont remember these days :)

We(BlueSCSI) will be at VCFMW too! - I'll be sure to stop by. I'm not expert on the mac toolbox but it starts to make sense the more you look at it, from the perspective of a 80's developer :D This is a neat dive into history - I know nothing OPL3 as I was a Mac kid and sound just worked.

"I asked chatgpt" "I asked grok" well I asked Achenar from the best-selling point&click adventure game Myst and he told me to bring him the blue pages and NOT to touch the red ones

DB-19 Male D-Sub Connector, Solder Cup - Joe's Computer Museum It's the fabulous DB-19 Male connector used in just about every Apple Floppy Drive! Also used on Macs, NeXT machines and some Ataris!

Hey look! Another source of DB-19 male connectors. Enjoy!

Yet another @home-assistant.io issue - DNS spam banning me every hour from @quad9dns.bsky.social - Blocked with a firewall rule HA from doing DNS queries to a non-configured DNS server (why!?)

Huge thanks to Quad9 support for the help

nice clone! is the short on the psu side or the mac side? and atleast you can fill those panels with cdroms and PC standard covers instead of trying to find some apple specific ones :)

Our small town ISP only had a few dialup lines so if either my firend or I got a busy singal we'd kick a few people off with this to get online

This one cuts your screen size down by a square pixel every time you restart. A very clever extension that could take a while to become apparant.

Infinite Mac embedding dialog, allowing parameters of a instance to be customized and the resulting HTML to be copied. It uses the Platinum appearance from Mac OS 8.

Infinite Mac can now be embedded into any website: infinitemac.org/embed

For a demonstration of what this can enable, see @aresluna.org's amazing "Frame of preference" article: aresluna.org/frame-of-pre...

BlueSCSI toolbox mostly running in snow sans the logo for some reason.

File downloaded from Linux to the emulator

Played with the new Macintosh emulator snow a bit more and have it emulating the @bluescsi.com Toolbox API! Can transfer files back and forth.

Logo resource isn’t loading for some reason but functions!

neat, but... why isn't the cart red?

It for sure is the best. But: It breaks all the time. Extremely difficult to setup. Sometimes just doesn’t work. So ya if it pulls the wrong arch of a container I’ll complain.

Being the best and having all these issues really reflects the state of home automation in 2025.

Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice I can't get fooled again... Or something like that

A photo of a monitor showing a PC BIOS screen from a system with a Pentium III CPU. In the area where it detects drives, it shows: "Primary Master : NoneIDE CD-ROM 52x Desk Shaker v0.0.1"

After being extremely cryptic about the new hardware project I'm working on in my last "photo of my monitor" post, here's a hopefully less cryptic one. Now that more things are working, here's a clue that is hopefully a little more obvious about what it is:

I got Snow (new Macintosh emulator) booting up from a real HDD over @bluescsi.com SCSI<>USB bridge. Listen to those heads seek even in emulation.

FAST COMPANY Article: While retirement typically occurs, after completing a career and saving and investing for it, a new trend is emerging among Gen Z career professionals called "micro-retirement." Micro- retirements involve taking a one to two- week break from work every 12 to 18 months. Gen Z is using micro-retirement to avoid burnout, find greater fulfillment in their work, and enhance their overall well-being. However, it's not just Gen-Z:

'Vacations.'

The word is 'vacations.'

This is what we should be building.
