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
#ADHD folks & #minimalism fans with overflowing #email inboxes (or some #GNOME devs with too many mailing lists & bug tracker emails) might be pleased to discover that @EvolutionGnome has a secret gsetting (that you can toggle in dconf-editor) to disable unread mail counts for folders in the sidebar: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evoluti…
Because what's the point of knowing you have 787 unread emails instead of 785, anyway?
The mail-notification plugin allows account-granularity exclusions, but not folder-granularity. I've cooked up a first draft patch (see attached) that implements the latter, while retaining the former. It's not...
A bridge basking in the last rays of the day. The shadow has already reached the bridge. However, a sunset also promises a sunrise. And I look forward to that, even if it sometimes takes a while.
