@RaccoonForFriendica This weekend I took some time to investigate how much work would be needed to build an iOS version of the app, and it turned out that at least building and running a basic version of the app is doable with some minor changes (see here).
What do you think about it? Would you like to see a Raccoon on iOS too?

Z Trilium Notes jsem zatím nadšený a vypadá to, že bude dalším kandidátem na @oscloud – ale pozor, jde o nástroj primárně pro jednoho uživatele, takže instalace bude jen na vyžádání pro vážné zájemce.
🔍 Co je TriliumNext? Open source aplikace pro správu poznámek a osobní znalostní bázi – běží v prohlížeči, ale instaluje se jako vlastní server.
Nabízí: 👉🏻 hierarchii a klonování poznámek (stejná poznámka může být na víc místech) 👉🏻 šablony (např. denní poznámky, TODO, trackery) 👉🏻 podporu skriptů 👉🏻 vlastní HTML/JS widgety (grafy, trackery, dashboardy) 👉🏻 vyhledávání, štítky, připnutí, historii změn 👉🏻 šifrování poznámek a export do ZIPu
💡 Dá se použít jako deník, osobní wiki, plánovač projektů, nástroj pro sledování návyků nebo třeba tréninkový deník.
🛠️ Je to trochu pro „fajnšmekry“ – Trilium má své specifika a chvíli trvá, než ho člověk dostane do ruky. Ale stojí to za to. 💪🏻

I just discovered the amazing Evertop project by @cobble2stone @ericjenott! Evertop is a portable PC that emulates an IBM XT with an 80186 processor and 1MB RAM, running DOS, Minix, and other old 1980s operating systems, including Windows up to version 3.0. Powered by a low-power microcontroller and an e-ink display, it can run for hundreds or even thousands of hours on a single charge, thanks to its built-in solar panel and extreme power-saving measures. It's loaded with built-in peripherals like a keyboard, PS/2 ports, graphics support, audio output, serial ports, USB, Ethernet, WiFi, and LoRA radio. Charging options include a solar panel, DC input, and micro USB. It features a detachable keyboard, optional hibernate, and power shutoff. Storage is via SD card, and it's powered by an Espressif ESP32 microcontroller. Compatibility includes almost all IBM PC/XT compatible DOS software from the 1980s and early 90s. There's also a minimal version, "Evertop Min," which reduces weight and cost by removing some features. I'd love to see a model with a Raspberry Pi Zero for more productivity-focused tasks. Let's see if someone is already working on something similar! #Evertop #RetroComputing #PortablePC #OpenSource #DIY #TechInnovation #Emulation #OffGridComputing #ESP32 #RaspberryPi #Minimalism #Productivity #EInk #solar #solarpanel #Typewriter
LibreOffice isn't just an app – it's about defending our rights to access technology without barriers, to maintain control over our own files, and to study, modify and redistribute tools we use.

Telefon má známky běžného používání a trochu zlobí konektor na nabíjení, ale jinak šlape v pohodě.
Kdyby někomu udělal radost a využil ho naplno, dej vědět do zpráv. Rád ho pošlu dál – hlavně někomu, kdo ví, co má v rukou. 🙂
