Each image is its own actual bit of running code using a fetch-like API to talk to other pods, and the network emits events when this happens. 3432

Andrew Schmelyun @aschmelyun.com · 25/05/2026The cheap parallel to usb adapters I've bought aren't reliably working with my dot matrix receipt printer. Oh well, time to dive into the spec and wire a raspberry pi to communicate directly with the port instead! 040
