    InventoryDifferent - Managing your vintage device collection

    Hey, you don’t need to have traefik for the docker-compose install. The docker-compose.simple.yaml will install all the containers in such a way that the components can talk to each other without exposing the sensitive components to the outside world. Traefik is a docker container that...

    InventoryDifferent - Managing your vintage device collection

    Awesome! Glad it installed well. Let me know if you find any bugs! It's funny you mention Claude because I've had others ask me why it was InventoryDifferent2 - it was previously a system I had built a few years ago that was not particularly well built, and was limiting in how easily I could...

    Made a little video showing a bit of what the system can do:

    Custom 9.7" Display (iPad 1,2,3) for Apple //c with STL files and build guide [Draft: work in progress]

    Awesome job! I recently started trying to print this for my IIc Plus. Unfortunately, I have a different version with the composite video on a smaller controller board. I modified it to work with mine, and made a sad attempt to create a new I/O cover. I also found when I imported the model...

    InventoryDifferent - Managing your vintage device collection

    Been adding some new features based on feedback across various forums. Added multi-language support in the showcase app. Added the ability to import from a CSV, as well as export to a CSV. Added the ability to add relationships between devices that are bi-directional (e.g. Color Classic...

    InventoryDifferent - Managing your vintage device collection

    Ha, it was my first attempt and I decided to scrap it and work from scratch. I may have some conversion code in there that was used for me to migrate from the old system to the new. I shared screenshots of it back on another post. Looking back now, the design (I was trying to go for a...

    InventoryDifferent - Managing your vintage device collection

    One of my goals was to be able to show off my collection in a way that is a bit more narrated than a list of devices with photos and specs, etc. So I added another docker container to host a showcase for your app. It's slightly customizable, but fairly limited at the moment. It allows you to...

    InventoryDifferent - Managing your vintage device collection

    Yeah, I had air tables, but I feel like some of the things I did most frequently were kind of a hassle, and I also didn't like it being a SaaS. I have too many images to use the free tier, and even if I could have squeezed under the limits, there's the uncertainty of knowing it could shut down...

    InventoryDifferent - Managing your vintage device collection

    I've been collecting vintage Apple hardware for a few years now and kept running into the same problem: nothing out there really fits how collectors actually think about their stuff. Spreadsheets are clunky, generic inventory apps don't seem to capture the types of things I care about in my...

    Making a replacement Hinge for a 15" Studio Display

    Not sure where you are getting it printed, but I printed a Mac SE brightness knob in stainless steel from JLC3DP and it turned out great. I put the part from the original post in and shipped to the US would be about $11. Which seems like a pretty good price for a stainless steel version.

    Weird Lisa CRT reverse pincushioning

    Ooh. I didn’t think about the yoke position. I bet it’s slipped back like you said. I kind of want to test this with an old Mac Plus CRT I have laying around to see if I can replicate it. I did message the seller but they don’t seem the type who wants to be messing around inside the...

    Weird Lisa CRT reverse pincushioning

    Yeah, I tried searching general CRT for “severe tunnel vision” and “spotlight like picture on CRT” and didn’t turn up anything. I’ll probably post in a CRT / TV forum and see if anyone has any ideas. But the list price right now is $4k, so unlikely anyone will be able to verify if we...

    Weird Lisa CRT reverse pincushioning

    I was looking at FB Marketplace for anything interesting and came across a Lisa. The price is too high, but what really struck me is the video showing it powered on and working. The CRT seems to have an issue where the viewable area on the screen is limited to a circle (cut off at the top and...

    Managing your collections

    Yeah, I've considered just running mine as a service and offering account and segmenting every user's information, but there's simply too much of a challenge with storing images for users. First, there's the storage costs - My collection of 290 devices is using ~4GB of storage. My NAS couldn't...

    [Discussion] Use of AI/LLM in the retro community

    I posted recently about my inventory management system which I re-wrote in a pretty short time, heavily with the help of Claude Code. I would not have had the time to produce what I did because it would have taken me months to years of all my free time to produce what I did. But it seems like...

    Managing your collections

    Yeah, it was largely decorative so didn’t have to worry about the weight / impact of sitting down on it all the time, but I suspect a proper thickness board between the leg and the case would keep it from bucking. As for the shelving, I considered stacking to make my shelving out of it, but...

    Managing your collections

    Ha. It was made as a bench, with cedar planks, joined together in the edges, routed to fit the handles of the G5’s. However, it is currently being used to store additional devices and books in my collection.

    Managing your collections

    I know it's been a while but I rebuilt things from the ground up as my Marchintosh project. I added some features that I know some people are going to hate (AI generated product images, a LLM backed chatbot that you can ask about your collection), but the AI features, as well as the shop...

    The Brown SE

    I've stopped using sunlight and peroxide for retrobrighting after a couple of streaky results. My guess is that the sunlight can dry out the peroxide creme and it can affect the lightening process making it too strong in some areas and too weak in others. The sun's UV rays and heat simply make...

    Need solution for HDI-45 to DB-15 connectors for video out

    I’ve not had that happen in any of my testing. Does yours have the gray plastic pin guide down in the connector? I’ll try to do some testing of my units I have here with and without the pin guide and see if I can recreate the issue and see if the pin guide helps or hurts. If you have one...
