Ich hab mir brauchbare ersatzhardware für mein primäres keyboard sichern können!
Warum das ein solches YAY is? Hajo......
Ich nutze ein Cherry CyMotion Master Linux.. Das sieht dann so aus:
Eines der features dieses keyboards ist, das die tastenkappen rund 20% größer als normale tastenkappen sind...
Das is superbequem zum tippen und sorgt für viel handbewegung bei ebendem...... und sieht ausserdem super psychedelisch aus..... was mir irgendwie ausnahmslos jede/r bestätigte der sich an dieses keyboard wagte...
Leider gabs diese serie an keyboards (CyMotion Master XPress und Master Linux) nur eine begrenzte zeit....... Also ist das inzwischen wirklich seltene hardware....
Nu hab ich aber auf epay ein cymotion master xpress aufgetan welches nur minimal genutzt wurde - für die makro keys offenbar.
OMFG YAY! Ein komplett sauberes gehäuse und ein sauberer tastensatz ..... + elektronik und kram...
Shit .... ich kann dann mein aktuelles keyboard endlich einmal sinnvoll aufarbeiten und die Tux logos und tasten mitnehmen..
Weil es im ursprünglichen long-post tendentiell eher untergeht.
Ich habe einen Funk-Aussensensor mit Temperatur und Luftfeuchtigkeit für eine "Krontaler Wetterstation mit Funk-Außensensor" Type/Modell WS2211-2 (schwarz) vom Aldi aus dem letzten halben jahr über.
Es gab da iirc 2 modelle, schwarz und weiss. Meine war halt die schwarze und auch der aussensensor ist entsprechend in schwarzem plastik gehalten.
Im original gäbe es zusätzliche sensoren wohl hier zu kaufen: frischer-kochen.de/search?q=22… (ja fragt nicht, die url wurde mir per email mitgeteilt. ;).
Statt 19,95€ würde ich meinen übrigen sensor ggf für 10€ + versand oder 8€ bar kralle bei abholung abgeben wollen, wenn jemand ihn gebrauchen kann.
At times, all you need is a frickin dumb VT100, VT102 or maybe even fancy VT220 serial terminal.
I'm not that much into retro computing stuff myself, but even i could use a simple terminal at times.
So .. usually you might go on and bring a real terminal from the good old times.... or. if you don't have any.
You take some PC running Windows using Teraterm (or better (putty?;))... Or some linux box, opening a terminal, running some fancy commands or just plain minicom.
Which is mostly all well and nice....
But do you actually need to run a full fledged operating system for that?
I think not.
But mkay, lets get slowly with those horses.
Writing your very own kernel just to create a fancy terminal on a ARM box seems to be really unreasonable. One can do that as a esoteric adventure... But i'm truly not that man to go that deep into it..
Another alternative might be, taking a established stable kernel with all needed hardware drivers, and build on top of that.
And there it gets funky. Naturally, you wanna go with a linux kernel, compiled down to your specific tasks (what do we need? VGA Framebuffer, TTY, Serial Drivers ... and profit?).
But then, you still need to care about the full fledged linux userland around all that..
There are two ways to go on this route.
Option one: You go on and write your very own init process, maybe just in python or Go or whatever you like.
You still need to set up a bunch of stuff for your serial tty to work. But that shouldn't be too bad overall.... But it's still a heck of a load of work. Do not forget, you replace /bin/init and all the setup it does.
Or you go with Option Two:
Create a minimalistic linux from scratch, wich only boots up and starts to run minicom and that is it.
You get exactly that. A running minicom command on one console... And maybe a busybox shell on a second one... There's no real linux (userspace) system supporting anything but that in the background.
In the moment i first thought about it, i thought, it might be nice to call it PiTOS or something like that.
But actually having a full fledged OS behind the terminal, was exactly the thing i wanted to avoid in the first place.
Just a convenient terminal. Connecting a keyboard via usb, giving visuals out by some means of hdmi ... and that's it.. (mkay, besides RS232 hardware for uplink connections).
As i said, just some random and weird idea coming to my mind. ;)

I don't know either. I'll start of with those, if you don't at least know 2 of them ... please, don't even bother to try to add another one.
But if you do......... you're welcome to expand this All Time Must See Scifi List as you see fit.... (And yes, maybe even expanse fits in there.. but no less)...
Hrm... just some few years ago, a friend and neighbour of mine asked me, for what i use my (way back then arbitrary) Tablet.
Well, i actually used that particular tablet (Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 with bluetooth keyboard cover - and some weirdo apple bt magic mouse) for a short while (about half a year) as an actual desktop replacement.... Because i was lacking on any hardware otherwise.
But, to be honest, after i had at least some laptop back up and running, that thing was gone instantly.
Still, there were uses for the tablet right outside the uses of a frickin desktop or laptop computer...... Like:
Checking emails..
Checking in to social media stuff (g+, fuckbook, early-fediverse, you name it)
Checking news.
Watching some videos.
Play some game.
Reading (digital/digitalized) books.
And what? ;)
What are your actual uses for a tablet class device novadays?
I still would use it to read some ebooks in case i'm residing in a clinic or something like that...
