Maintainer of BlueSCSI here - this is really early/gathering info to implement, but glad there's interest! If you have one of these adapters and would like to help out please check the details in the ticket.

This app started from our retro programming study group[1] where we're going through the 1992 book "Macintosh C Programming Primer" (come jump in anytime!). Some of us are using real machines (we collect them, also I'm working with SCSI so I need real hardware) or you can grab a premade image and start coding. There's also gcc cross compiler Retro68[2] where you can develop on a modern machine.

It seems rare to get any contributions back to hw projects (either in pull requests etc or donations) so it's unsurprising when I see talented people give up or go with non commercial licenses.

This is 100% true. Coming from a software side I was surprised that on the embedded and hardware side everyone just forks. I did try to contact the original arscsino project to contribute back but at the time it was idle and I got no response.

Creator here. I wanted to give people the ability to have the ability to print them out for personal use or buy from a seller. Early in the project someone attempted to commercially take it over so I chose this licenses. Is it perfect? no. You can of course design your own, but mine are provided under that license. See some projects like Elastic, Sentry, etc have run into similar licensing issues when trying to provide something to the community for free.

LineageOS 18.1 5 years ago

Maybe they are still building but I don't see a download for the Pixel 2 (walleye) for 18.1 - just nightly 17.1

Out of all the clients I tried yesterday, this one seemed the most thought out in terms of usability and operations with automation.

I have SleepIQ from sleepnumber, was $299 add on for lifetime subscription. It's interesting but fairly limited. They do have an undocumented API ( https://github.com/erichelgeson/sleepiq ). I could hookup something to poll the API and fire events (sleep/away/restless/etc) but it'd be nice if it was a push vs pull and hook it into existing SmartThings hub or something.

It'll be interesting to watch this as the little and big companies are entering this market at about the same time.

I was just thinking about a similar type of exchange/broker for individuals to contact companies who may not be happy with responsible disclosure (ie, you're using their service and it is your only option, but if you disclose something they cut off your account).

There are so many stories on HN of people doing their version of 'responsible disclosure', there's no hard/fast rules and can be intimidating if you don't know how the other party will react.
