How to hack a microSD-to-SD card adapter to work with a 3.3 volt microcontroller.
CryFS encrypts your files, so you can safely store them anywhere. It works well together with cloud services like Dropbox, iCloud, OneDrive and others. Easy to setup and works with a lot of cloud storage providers. It runs in the background - you won't notice it when accessing your files in your daily workflow. Your data only leaves your computer in encrypted form. File contents, metadata and directory structure are all secure from someone who hacked your cloud. Released under LGPL.
Can be used locally but that's not its primary use case.
Two directories: A basedir that holds the encrypted files, and a mountdir which you interact with. The basedir is what gets stored remotely, synced, or whatever. Note: Not safe for concurrent access!
Files are split into equal size blocks, encrypted individually. Metadata and directory structures are also represented as those blocks for obfuscation. Block cipher used, random key generated, key encrypted with passphrase.
In Apt, Pacman, Homebrew, Nix repositories.
Default encryption algorithm: XChaCha20-Poly1305, scrypt for key derivation.

stree is a CLI tool designed to visualize the directory tree structure of an S3 bucket. By inputting an S3 bucket/prefix and utilizing various flags to customize your request, you can obtain a colorized or non-colorized directory tree right in your terminal.
Uses machine learning to identify files in misconfigured buckets across a large number of providers, including AWS, Azure, Digital Ocean, GCP, and Alibaba. Requires an account to get results but the free tier is pretty useful in itself.

You have to have a Bounty Hunter subscription or higher to use it, though.
cloudgrep is grep for cloud storage. It currently supports searching log files, optionally compressed with gzip (.gz) or zip (.zip), in AWS S3, Azure Storage or Google Cloud Storage. Directly searching cloud storage, without indexing logs into a SIEM or Log Analysis tool, can be faster and cheaper. There is no need to wait for logs to be ingested, indexed, and made available for searching. It searches files in parallel for speed.
Hard Disk Sentinel is a multi-OS SSD and HDD monitoring and analysis software. Its goal is to find, test, diagnose and repair hard disk drive problems, report and display SSD and HDD health, performance degradations and failures. Hard Disk Sentinel gives complete textual description, tips and displays/reports the most comprehensive information about the hard disks and solid state disks inside the computer and in external enclosures. Many different alerts and report options are available to ensure maximum safety of your valuable data.
No need to use separate tools to verify internal hard disks, external hard disks, SSDs, hybrid disk drives (SSHD), disks in RAID arrays and Network Attached Storage drives as these are all included in a single software. In addition Hard Disk Sentinel Pro detects and displays status and SMART information about LTO tape drives and appropriate industrial (micro) SD cards and eMMC devices too.
Commercial software.
The BackBit Pro Cartridge is a universal instant loading cartridge capable of interfacing with a multitude of vintage computers and game consoles via proprietary adapters, including:
- Apple II+/IIe/IIgs Slot
- Atari 8-bits
- Commodore 8-bits
Supports most, if not all, original cartridge-based titles for each machine, and additionally supports tape, disk, and RAM expansion for a limited number of systems. Capable of supporting most modern homebrews. Bankswitching schemes up to 1MB in size can be implemented for nearly all platforms (if they aren’t already). Flash saving support can often be implemented. Special coprocessors can sometimes be implemented. Some adapters feature additional hardware for various things, such as audio emulation, copy protection bypass, joystick plugs, reset support, and more!
Loading is always instant. No need to take a coffee break while your program is loading. Built-in versioning system preserves your original files (on systems/configurations that support saving). Supports cartridge images up to 1MB in size. Real-time-clock. One-button diagnostic mode helps you identify system faults (on most systems).
The NeoFloppy is an non-mechanical / solid-state media format optimized for handling, transport, storage, archive and subsequent use. It is only using the mechanical specification of the 3,5" FDD to a specific extent. Namely: Drive mechanisms (except the head since the drive only needs to vertically contact pins behind the shutter) and the media dimensions.
A site which scrapes and analyzes Amazon at least daily to collect hard drives for sale. New or used, price per terabyte or gigabyte, price per unit, capacity, manufacturer, warranty, link to buy.
No machine-readable feeds, so you'll have to do this manually.

Lotharek sells hardware upgrades and replacement parts for retrocomputers, including the Commodore and Atari 8-bits.
pyndb, short for Python Node Database, is a package which makes it easy to save data to a file while also providing syntactic convenience. It utilizes a Node structure which allows for easily retrieving nested objects. All data is wrapped inside of a custom Node object, and stored to file as nested dictionaries. It provides additional capabilities such as autosave, saving a dictionary to file, creating a file if none exists, and more. The original program was developed with the sole purpose of saving dictionaries to files, and was not released to the public.
Basically, it's a way to treat internal hash tables like real databases, with automatic saving, automatic creation (if the file doesn't exist already), and so forth.

A comprehensive guide to what all of the labelling on microSD cards means. What application they're best for, how fast they are at reading and writing, what their theoretical maximum capacity is.
FujiNet was intended to be a network adapter that attaches to the SIO (Peripheral) port of an Atari 8-bit computer system but has become an all encompassing SIO peripheral emulator. Designed to physically interface with any 8-bit Atari system via the SIO port with a 3d printed SIO plug. Also has an SIO jack on the back so that other peripherals can be plugged in as passthrough devices. Powered from the Atari (unless it's used on a 400 or 800, they don't supply enough current).
Emulates data storage on cassettes and floppy disks. Data can be stored on SD card or TNFS network share. Emulates the 850 modem. Emulates most of the common Atari printers, but converts files to PDF and saves them. Implements a brand-new network (N:) device.
Implements Bluetooth, NTP, text-to-speech.
They sell new hardware for classic 8-bits, including flash cards, hardware programmers, and interfaces.
A stackable simple-to-build single board computer storage that is open-source and modular which is made from sustainable materials. This repository contains the official production files that can be used for laser cutting and 3D printing.
