Your question reminded my immediately about one of my favorite 35c3 talks Butterbrotdosen-Smartphone - Mein DIY-Smartphone-Bau from 2018-12-29. It is in German language, but has an English translation, too. Maybe it can give you some good starting ideas?

I would like to show you how I built a smartphone from a Raspberry PI. The problems and difficulties I encountered and the solutions I found. The project is not yet finished, there are still a few small things missing. Nevertheless, I want to show you my smartphone in the practical sandwich box and tell you how it came about.
I had no idea that building a smartphone could be so complicated. Raspberry Pi + touch display is not all there is to think about in this project. At the moment, the smartphone project lives in a sandwich box and attracts attention on the subway. If the power bank can passthrough, that’s an advantage, I’ve found. Setting up the X and Y axes on the touch display so that you can also use the on-screen keyboard was not so easy. And I had to realize that Landscape is not the right size to work smoothly. Most Linux programs are not directly touch-compatible or require too much memory. Then there were also big challenges! Learning to solder was one of them. First learning how to solder, then learning how to desolder, and then daring to use the PI. I would like to tell you these and other stories about building my smartphone.
Might be handled and freshly archived on https://archive.org/ if I understand this Message from Jason Scott correctly.
But this should not stop anyone from mirroring the Hobbes OS/2 Archive, too.
Wieso ist wohl mein Comment farbig unterlegt?
EDIT: Ah, anscheinend wenn der Post jünger als eine bestimmte Zeit ist, jetzt ist die Farbe weg. Nice :)
Herzlichen Dank auch von mir. War erst verwundert, wegen der deaktivierten 2FA, aber die neue Version läuft gut soweit 👍
Ich finde super, dass die externen Links jetzt automatisch in neuem Tab öffnen.
Direct link to the actual PDF file: History of the PDF.pdf
It looks nice and the wallpaper is great. Would you mind sharing a source for it?
Besten Dank, dass Du es gespeichert hast. Das wasser.zip
enthält genau die Linkliste, die ich suchte.
Also 2FA gibt es ja zum Glück schon, aber ich habe gerade auch ein bisschen die Befürchtung, dass hier sehr einfach und schnell, sehr viel wertvoller Inhalt, Kommunikation und Wissen zerstört werden kann 😬.
Irgendwie bin ich bis heute davon ausgegangen, dass was gepostet und kommentiert wird, natürlich auch moderiert wird, aber ansonsten erhalten bleibt.
Herzlichen Dank für Deine Hilfe. Kannst Du denn eine Liste der geposteten URLs und eventuell der Superkommentare ohne großen Aufwand exportieren? Wenn nicht, wäre es aber auch nicht schlimm 👋🙂
Vielen Dank, ich schaue in der Kopie nach.
EDIT: auf kyu.de scheint es auch kein “Wasser” mehr zu geben :(
No need to trust in science for the smarter 43% when god invented power plants, climate-machine, cars, guns and the internet. \s
Genaus so ein “Puzzle” hatte ich damals vor mir liegen, aber dank der Photos und ein bisschen Ausprobieren fanden alle Teile (auch gehüpfte Federn) wieder ihren korrekten Platz.
Bei mir hat die Bohrer-Methode immer gut mit meinen normalen Metallbohrern funktioniert. Es gibt anscheinend aber auch spezielle "Schraubenausdreh"bohrer, die u.a. sich beim Auf-/Linksdrehen nicht aus der Schraube drehen.
Mein Vater würde übrigens einfach eine Schraube auf die Schaube schweißen (wenn die Schraube geeignet ist) und dann mit Zange oder Schraubendreher herausdrehen. Damit habe ich aber nur Erfahrung als Zuschauer 😆
Hope I have interpreted the photo correctly and this is just a metal screw, that has become to round to be screwed out with a hex wrench.
In such case, I use a drilling machine to carefully drill a small metal-suited drill a few millimeters into the screw. Then I remove the drilling machine and hold the drill (still in the screw) with combination pliers (or similar pliers) and unscrew the metal screw (again carefully).
I hope my translation of the tool names are close enough to understand what I mean :)
In German it would be: Einen Metallbohrer mit Bohrmaschine einige mm in die Schraube bohren, dann mit Kombizange den Bohrer festhalten und zusammen mir Schraube herausdrehen.
EDIT: also please be careful when opening up the keyboard and document your steps with photos. When I repaired a 80s Korg some years ago, there where many parts that could spring out of place, e.g. when lifting the keys.
This is really nice, thanks for sharing 👍
Many thanks OP for starting this thread and also big thank you to all suggesting Mull
and Mulch
. I was not aware of those apps and will try out both of them.
Here are some links to start from:
Mull
directly from F-Droid: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/us.spotco.fennec_dos/Mulch
only from DivestOS F-Droid Repo: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/us.spotco.mulch/ - must enable repo first!I really liked the Bromite
browser on my mobiles, but unfortunately it did not get (security) updates for a longer time. From the many discussions in the Issue tracker asking about status of the project, I could not get a clear clue about the situation, but fact is that the last Bromite
release is from Dec 2022.
From here Bromite is Dead, Use Cromite Instead I learned about and tried to switch to Cromite
, but on my 32-bit Android devices it is still very unstable.
Definitely dislike MS, generations of my workstations have small, yellow “Microsoft Free Workstation” stickers on their monitors, but VSCodium (in my case) is not really bad.
Also I really like the Xbox360 console and (as a hacker and maker) still love the first Kinnect. The Kinnect is an excellent piece of sensor-hardware, was rather cheap when purchased in used condition and it works very well with Linux.
… and it even runs Doom: POOM - A Doom port running on the PICO-8

As save-games and configs of my GOG Linux games are normally(!) outside of the installation folders (found them in my home-folder, under .local or .config), I simply install such new version .sh file into the same locations (overwriting the existing installation). But I do not know for sure, if this is the best solution in all cases.
Anyway you can easily try it by yourself after backing up your game-folder (simply zip it). This way you will not lose anything if overwriting game files will mess something up.
EDIT: maybe it is worth finding the save-game/config folder and back it up, too. Just in case the new version messes with config files.
