Maccy on a #quicktake 150. @maccy.me

I over-engineered a method of getting my #quicktake photos on to modern macOS. Why use a shell script when you can make a full GUI instead? gerstacker.us/2026/09/21/t...

Hijacker: Everyone stop talking. I am armed and I am taking control of this plane. Guy from the Netherlands: Wow, in Netherlands we just purchase a plane if we want one. But typically we will bike somewhere Guy who has been to Japan once: In Japan planes are rarely hijacked. It's a cultural taboo

Happy 26th birthday to the Power Mac G4 Cube!

A little retrobright before and after. The mouse was the worst. The keyboard just had a mask from a photoshop keyboard template. #vintageapple

Big #BlueSCSI update yesterday with tons of improvements, but one of the nicest for end users is: You can now update BlueSCSI directly from your vintage computer! Use the latest BlueSCSI Toolbox beta + this release. FW updates from retro.bluescsi.com (no https) github.com/BlueSCSI/Blu...

This is pretty cool. Apple's old Time Capsule devices run NetBSD, so in anticipation of their deprecation of AFP in the next version of macOS this guy got samba running on it https://github.com/jamesyc/TimeCapsuleSMB

The antique mall Newton MessagePad 100 is alive. The audio cap seems to have destroyed things, and there’s one row of dead pixels, but otherwise it’s functioning. #vintageapple

And here it is, the #MARCHintosh #GlobalTalk Canvas timelapse. Thank you to everyone who participated, it was lots of fun to host!

In the waning days of #MARCHintosh, a rare antique mall find.

Nothing to see here, just a beautiful new Swift Evolution pitch that allows complex #Predicate building 🤯 It's early days, but this could perhaps become the NSCompoundPredicate equivalent SwiftData has been missing all this time 👀 forums.swift.org/t/pitch-init...

Swift 6.3 has landed! 🚀 This release brings community-driven Android support into the official toolchain, along with major improvements to C interoperability, the build system, and embedded Swift. Read more: www.swift.org/blog/swift-6... #AndroidDev #iOSDev

@sgerstacker.bsky.social sent a print!

Finally getting things cleaned up for #MARCHintosh #vintageapple #VintageMacintosh

The Dan Kottke signed Macintosh SE is cleaned up, upgraded, and back together. I’ll be floating around #GlobalTalk with it this weekend. #MARCHintosh

Got my first print to my Netatalk -> CUPS -> PDF setup. We hung it on the fridge. #MARCHintosh #globaltalk

In less than 3 hours, Return to Dark Castle makes a "return" to Steam, launches TODAY. I'm a rabid fan of the original DC and Beyond DC from the b&w mac days. I'm excited to play this entry - never had the platform for it when it released Precision platform with cartoon humor! 14.99 USD 1st 2 weeks!

Time to upgrade some batteries. #vintageapple #vintagemacintosh #marchintosh

#bluescsi backup chugging right along…

Just a little dusty. #macintosh #vintageapple

I bought a thing at an auction. #macintosh #vintageapple

Let's do this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtQ9...

It’s alive! #macintosh

It’s back to (almost) full health. I pinched the floppy drive cable to the case, which shorted something out and prevented it from booting. Now all drives work and everything runs as expected. I just need to replace the floppy drive plate because the hooks that hold it in place broke.

"The oranges arrived every year, no matter what else changed — the toys we wished for, the pajamas we wore, the houses we lived in," writes Laura Johnston.

Something tells me @neildegrassetyson.com gave Apple a call, because in 26.2 the Jupiter Environment on Vision Pro now includes the planet’s rings, which were missing in 26.1. 🪐

yeeeep, saw this coming a mile away

What a time to be alive! ✨ Mac OS 7.6 for CHRP on an iMac G3 (Rev A) 💿… which was previously limited to running Mac OS 8.

It's the Netherlands so of course you can vote in a windmill.

Simply. Lovely. 👏 #F1 #USGP

On iOS 26 we have a new `close` button role in SwiftUI to dismiss a view without losing the user's progress, unlike a cancel action. A convenient way to add a dismiss button for modals without the need to define a custom button label! #SwiftUI #iOSDev

Thirty-two years ago today, Myst was released. Happy Birthday, little guy! 🎂
