Tinker ☀️Ok, built out a proper Word Processor / Writer Deck.I used an old Dell Inspiron 11 (P24T) with an 11.6" screen. It's running a headless Ubuntu server instance with autologin.No wifi. Save to hard drive or to usb. Drop to Bash command line to mount manually and transfer files for now (thought i want to figure out how to mount automatically in future). Boot time is longer than need be with a lot of needless programs starting up. But I bet I can lean that down and speed up boot time. Uses Tilde as the Word Processor (<a href="https://github.com/gphalkes/tilde" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://github.com/gphalkes/tilde</a>)<a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/writerDeck" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#writerDeck</a>

Heechee HackerSweet Cyberdeck project. The keyboard is too small or me. I need the quotes/apostrophe key, but otherwise this is a really slick design.>>Turn your phone into a pocket cyberdeck / laptop (keyboard mount) by TypingCat - Thingiverse<a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6897933" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6897933</a><a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/cyberdeck" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#cyberdeck</a>, <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/writerdeck" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#writerdeck</a>, <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/handheld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#handheld</a>

Heechee HackerImpulse purchased a great deal on a Palm m515 with a folding keyboard I plan to use as a <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/writerdeck" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#writerdeck</a>. Also have a replacement battery on the way and spent a good hour learning how to sync it with Linux, which is still fully supported in 2024. <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/PalmOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PalmOS</a> <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/writingtech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#writingtech</a>

AlvanI finally found the specifications for Kailh Choc switches, and adjusted the model according its dimensions. I even got keyboard plate ready! Still unsure about stands tho..
