BlueSCSI Wi-Fi Desk Accessory 1.2 has been released:
984935cc5e3e2510980b17f58babb839I wanted to add an internal USB port to my ThinkPad X1 Nano which should have been a fairly easy thing to do, but it wasn't.
Of course, if I were still using my Framework Laptop it would be as easy as plugging in a custom module but I've been using my X1 Nano as my primary laptop for quite some time now.
I've been working on Carl, my IMAP e-mail client, for the past few months.
I attended the Vintage Computer Festival Midwest 18 and made some things.
Over the past year or so, I've been working with other BlueSCSI developers to add Wi-Fi functionality to their open-hardware SCSI device, enabling Wi-Fi support for old Macs and other vintage computers going back some 36 years.
I've been operating Pushover's public-facing API for over a decade now and I thought I'd pass on some advice for those creating a new API.
Pushover's API might be unusual in that it is used by a wide range of devices (embedded IoT things, legacy servers, security cameras, etc.) and HTTP libraries, rather than mostly being accessed from JavaScript in the latest web browsers. It also doesn't process sensitive financial information, so the advice given here may not be applicable to something operating like Stripe's API.
