Just in case we get more power outages over in our country too [Wayback/Archive] dr-mod/blackout-logger:
A miniature device that’s keeping track of power outages.
Hardware:
- Raspberry Pi Pico
- Precision RTC Module (DS3231)
- Waveshare eink 3.7

Cool (and available both for regular Raspberry Pi and Raspberry Pi Zero):
[Wayback/Archive] GitHub – PiSCSI/piscsi: PiSCSI allows a Raspberry Pi to function as emulated SCSI devices (hard disk, CD-ROM, and others) for vintage SCSI-based computers and devices. This is a fork of the RaSCSI project by GIMONS.
I wonder how it compares feature wise and performance wise to [Wayback/Archive] BlueSCSI (which is Raspberry Pi Pico based, see [Wayback/Archive] index – BlueSCSI v2 Documentation, and now has a [Wayback/Archive] BlueSCSI Wi-Fi Desk Accessory – joshua stein which is open source at [Wayback/Archive] jcs/wifi_da – BlueSCSI Wi-Fi Desk Accessory for classic Mac OS – AmendHub and important to for instance [Wayback/Archive] Adding Wi-Fi to the Macintosh Portable – joshua stein).

Retro computing is wildly popular, and with the rise of low cost single-board computers (SBCs for short), both Apple //e and ][+ emulators plus extension cards have proliferated, based on Raspberry Pi (or even their RP2040 microcontroller based Pico), ESP32 or predecessor ESP8266 microcontrollers and others.
Some links for my archive:
