Found my old pocket computer at my parents' house, and it still works!
You could choose between RAM vs storage lol, and of course the storage gets wiped when the batteries die
Bring Your Own Box
Homebox supports the https://<hostname>/a/<inventory_id> shorthand and does a 302 jump for you. Otherwise yes, I would have implemented the API search in a microservice.
Muscat is a totally different beast. Before any treats he would effin' murder for pets.
It's Nelko P21, around $20.
You're absolutely right here, this is my personal bias as I come from that part of the world (ex-USSR), where Palm's market share was almost negligible. I'll make sure to actually fix this in my presentation.
For now I use the vendor provided app, given it supports a share intent, so I can simply toss a PNG from Vivaldi at it and make it print the label. It does the job, and more importantly, it bypasses all possible obnoxious advertisement.
Chilling like no one is watching.
Surprisingly, it works! I just checked it on my microservice, indeed now QRs are smaller. This is a lifesaver tip, thanks a bunch!
I keep track of lots of vintage devices in my basement, these lay on a CD shelf with narrow walls, and I want to keep track of their maintenance status, i.e. when did I charge the battery last time.
This little printer is pretty handy for labeling tasks, with one noticeable problem: the resolution is quite low, so I cannot afford printing full length domain name on such a tiny label. What I ended up with is writing my own microservice that puts fake http://i.nv/ domain in front of inventory ID. That domain is provided by DNSMASQ that I run on my server, and there's also NGINX listening for that domain and doing 302 onto an actual Homebox page.
Homebox sends URL parameters to the specified endpoint, and given that information it is possible to construct any label of any shape or form, it only needs to be a PNG image.
I hereby kindly invite you all to join me on this little journey, I'll do my best to make it a FUN one!

And I just made an HTTP endpoint in golang that outputs PNG labels with small QRs just as I need them, to print out on my Bluetooth label printer.
My ADHD keeps spawning batshit crazy projects of all sorts that entertain people around the world, and since the full scale invasion of Ukraine began, I have decided to give all my possible income that those projects generate to those who need it more than I do. I keep track of all incomes and guarantee 100% transparency. It isn't much, but for some fluffballs it means survival.

It's almost always 7. I'm a chonky boi, and I like the number 7.
We've been together through a lot. We met first in Kyiv, Ukraine, where my spouse and I decided to build our first family nest, rather small, but decent. My then future wife took Muscat from a family where he was born to a British shorthair cat, and it certainly shows.
Later on, in 2017, we moved to Berlin, Germany. It was certainly a challenge to find a pet-friendly apartment, but in the end we found one, and there Muscat immediately charmed the landlords. Did I say we've been through a lot together? Muscat is very sensible and affectionate. We have developed our own rituals that we follow daily. He knows exactly when am I going to bed, he demands butt scratches on a carpet when I return home from work. He had spent every single home office shift by my side during the pandemic, serving his cat duties of stress relieving his humans. He's been purring me into deepest and sweetest sleep even during our hardest times.
I am blessed to have Muscat in my life. To many more years!
Well, it just happened.

Did a live stream yesterday, where I tried to set up a serial tty connection between my Psion and an old RaspberryPi I had laying around. Got most of the way there in an hour, even though I had to spend some time troubleshooting what turned out to be me forgetting to plug the damn cable in. But then got stuck on it not accepting my login credentials, just reloading the login screen. I did some reading today, checking Man pages and documentation, and forum posts. turns out I was missing a "-h" flag/argument(not sure about the correct term) in my serial-getty@ttyUSB0.service configuration file. And that I could keep most of the settings there by default, but without "-h" rtc handshaking didn't work.
feeling pretty stoked!
Anyways I will try to do a complete write up once I'm done with my little project.
Hitting the shelves at the same time as the first iPhone, it offered much more flexibility and boasted many business oriented features carrying the legacy of the Communicator series.

Ooooh that roomba brush is Muscat's favourite toy! He'd play the damn out of it.
