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. These were topics at the recent FLISOL event in Brasilia: blog.documentfoundation.org/bl… #foss #OpenSource
On April 26, 2025, the Estácio University Center in Brasília – Taguatinga-DF Unit, was the stage for a remarkable moment in the promotion of technological freedom in Brazil.
I'm on the way to the Nextcloud Enterprise Day in The Hague. Looking at the agenda and even more important at the list of attendees, I'm really excited, and I'm looking forward to an intense day full of great discussions.
Hi everyone! 👋 We still see people on the fediverse recommending OpenOffice, despite it having year-old unfixed security issues: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_O… – So if you see someone recommending it, please inform them about the risks – but also that there are actively maintained successor projects (like LibreOffice). #foss #OpenSource

📱 Válí se mi doma Pixel 6a s GrapheneOS. Mám tu plně funkční Google Pixel 6a s nainstalovaným GrapheneOS. Bezpečnostní aktualizace do července 2027. Perfektní pro někoho, kdo to myslí vážně se soukromím a chce bezpečný telefon bez Google sledovaček.
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. 🙂

Certain models of Lenovo laptops now ship with Fedora and Ubuntu Linux. This is done to keep costs low and cater to developers or IT professionals who heavily rely on Linux. Another reason could be the increased unpopularity of Windows 11 in recent times due unwanted features like "AI" or "Recall", but that is just my own wild guess ;) LOL. Would you buy it?
