Unusable 3151 ⁂

there are alternative enclosures that people have made. for example: https://www.printables.com/model/1484908-ploopy-mouse-skinny-mod-wo-thumb-rest

neovim at home, Zed with vim bindings at work because I’m stuck with a locked-down Windows machine.

I think there are 3 reasonable options (that I’m pursuing currently):

Linux on a phone designed for Android

I’ve tried a few different models of phone. I’m currently running mobile nixos on a OnePlus 6, but waiting on Plasma Mobile to be fully functional. When I last played with it a couple months ago, the virtual keyboard was broken. Nothing else I’ve tried has had all features on the phone work.

A small Linux laptop with a mobile network card

I am trying to set up an MNT Pocket Reform as a phone replacement. The hardware is almost there. The software and firmware have a bit of a ways to go, but it has promise for a subset of people.

A Linux-first phone-like device

There are some phones that are set up with PostmarketOS or other mobile Linux distributions from the manufacturer, but they right now tend to be really pricey, under-performing, and don’t really have upstream support. The Mecha Comet seems to be another interesting option. I’ve pre-ordered one and I’m excited to see what it’s capable of.

people put too much “lab” and not enough “home” in homelab. we need more dust, more cables, more jank. love this.

I don’t do code reviews on vibecoded projects. It’s a waste of time.
