Notes

Well, it's a start...

I got an Asante Micro EN/SC SCSI Ethernet device for my PowerBook that is powered by just the SCSI and ADB ports, so I had the dumb idea to get a small Ethernet->WiFi converter to make it wireless but the ADB port doesn't put out enough 5V amperage to power up the USB adapter :(

Hmm this guy makes a lot of sense

This is about 1 month's worth of IPs that attempted telnet logins to my BBS with suspicious usernames like "root" and "admin" that the BBS then sent to my firewall for blocking:

jcs@pf:~> doas pfctl -T show -t bbs_idiots | wc -l
4684

Keep on smilin'

Brrr

JDW's Mouser cart sure does make this easy. Each group of similar capacitors comes in its own bag labeled with e.g., "512K-A-C3-C30" for C3 and C30 as labeled on the board.

Recap time

I will be at the Vintage Computer Festival Midwest next month. This year I'm excited to have a table and will be showing some of my Macintoshes and things. I hope to see you there!

Still waiting for mine to do this

I saw one of these at VCF Midwest last year and just had to find one

phew, that old screw put up quite a fight

I fear using a cross-platform framework like Flutter and getting 90% of the way there but then getting stuck not able to do some platform-specific thing, or just locked into a 3rd party tool that ages poorly and forces me to rewrite it in something else in a few years

I started rewriting the @PushoverApp@twitter.com iOS client in Swift+SwiftUI, but the more I put into it, the more I dread having to duplicate those features in another language on the Android and web sides
