Overview: Comparison of Operating Systems
Eylenburg's Tech Website is a truly amazing project in which a lot of hard work has gone into it: in several overviews and histories 'Eylenburg' offers, for example, Operating Systems: Timeline and Family Tree, Default Desktop Environments for Linux and Unix or Comparison of Instant Messengers - always presented with large-format tables and graphics. Of particular interest to Amiga users is the Comparison of Operating Systems, where AmigaOS and MorphOS have been listed for some time and now AROS has been added. But it is also worth taking a look at the above-mentioned Family Tree or History of Web Browser Engines from 1990 until today, in which IBrowse is also listed.

Programming: Web based m68k assembler editor
Under the title link you can find a webapp to write, run and learn M68K assembly code based on the framework SvelteKit and the programming language Rust (amiga-news.de reported).

AROS: GUI for configuring SMB2/3-Shares
As Paolo Besser, author of the AROS distribution Icaros Desktop writes in his latest blog entry, he has programmed a simple graphical tool for configuring shares in LUA for the new SMB2 handler in order to add new shares to the AROS environment. It is not intended to be a full-fledged manager, but it already performs the rather simple task of adding new device definition files to Devs:DOSDrivers. Unless a more comprehensive configuration tool is written by someone else, he will include it in the next Icaros versions.

DIY: 2,5-inch IDE-SSD
As reported by hackster.io, Collin "dosdude1" Mistr has released the second in a series of open-source solid-state drive (SSD) upgrades for vintage computer hardware. A 1.8-inch ZIF design is now followed by a 2.5-inch IDE SSD compatible with any device that normally uses a 2.5-inch IDE hard drive or a 3.5-inch IDE hard drive with a simple adapter (YouTube video). So it should also be possible to use it in the Amiga 1200 or Amiga 4000.
