That was quite the read. You went into so much detail that I learned a bit how Reddit moderation works behind the scenes, though I’ve barely used Reddit to begin with. I don’t think I personally would stay sane moderating that stuff lol.

Hell yeah!

Obviously using catnip-laced estrogen.

I forgor as well :3

The thing also has an IR receiver, so it could potentially make a good kodi box, but I have not looked into that.

I use a 2014 mac mini as my main server lol. I replaced the HDD with an off the shelf SATA SSD, installed fedora server, and I now have a compact nextcloud and forgejo host :3

From Wikipedia,

In the United States, they [railfanners] can be referred to pejoratively as “foamers”. There is a dispute over the origin of this term. Some cite the extensive use of styrofoam to create scenery and landscaping in model railroad building, while others trace its origins to the related term “Foamite” (which stands for “Far Out and Mentally Incompetent Train Enthusiast”) or claim it refers to “the notion of foaming-at-the-mouth craziness”.

I can confirm that the use of “foamer” is also present in Canada as well. The wikipedia article really makes the word sound derogatory, but in practice (with the people I know that use it) it’s really just used as an easy and playful way of saying “railfan”.

Flip the script

Meta headsets can work pretty well on Linux with Wivrn. Have a look at https://lvra.gitlab.io/.

This book also titled To Own the Libs shows how the libs get owned. (spoiler: no libs get owned)

Sharkey is for microblogging, so it’s not really like Piefed or Lemmy, more like mastodon or pixelfed. They have a website with more info.

You’re taking 196 shitposts seriously. That’s what you’re doing wrong lol.

Darn, I’ve been corrected. The bluesky one is so true though.

Probably from bluesky to mastodon (inclusive). The closest threadiverse equivalent I know of to Sharkey is probably Piefed, but it’s not really that close lol.

Hell yeah, I’m glad that coming out went well for you :3

That sure looks really comfy.

I gotta remember to give this one a try. I kinda dig the aesthetic of it’s UI, though it’s a very different project compared to PostmarketOS.

Gnome mobile is definitely pretty slick, but last time I used it, it had some pretty major flaws, like being limited to a 6 digit pin using the number pad and exposing contacts in a locked state. IMO right now, phosh is a more complete choice, which is what OP said they wanted to use anyways.

This is fucking awesome. I have been seriously considering building something similar, but the high cost and uncertainty of functionality with 4g modems is putting me off. My plan is to use a cm4 with this 2.8 inch carrier board from Waveshare that also has a 480p 2.8 inch touchscreen, since I want something that could actually fit in my pocket.

To make up for the small screen, I would use something like the fairberry so that I don’t need to use an on-screen keyboard, so the final device would have a similar layout to the Blackberry q10. I was planning on using this SIM7600G modem from Waveshare meant for a pi-zero since I want to be able to actually use LTE, SMS and take phone calls on whatever I build.

Fortunately, where I live, VoLTE is not required, but I feel like the mandate of VoLTE in other regions means that my modem should also be VoLTE capable.

You might want to look into postmarketos, since they have support for the Pi and it might make working with Phosh and the modem a bit easier.

EDIT:

I would also probably just use a battery bank that’s cheap with around 37wH of capacity for powering the thing. I would extract the battery and BMS from the casing to reduce the size and weight since it would go in a 3d printed case anyways.
