A rather short update: Scoundrel will be ported to GB
Game Boy is one of the platforms that I technically have all the capabilities to port to but that I completely overlooked when porting Scoundrel to Famicom/NES. I'm going to leverage Z88DK's functionality to do so within a week or even earlier. Sound support, however, is going to be subject to separate research.

♻️ Why you should buy and re-purpose old tiny PCs
There's a lot of hype around cloud providers and infrastructure as a service these days, but for a home lab, automation tasks, personal services, and personal publishing, you don't need powerful or expensive hardware.

The Lounge for the elderly
The Lounge is a web app that acts as an always-on chat client for IRC. I use it all the time since I don't have to understand how a "bouncer" like `znc` works to be always on, nor do I need to have a WeeChat proxy running somewhere.
