I fell down a deep rabbit hole writing about jagua dye, BIC lighters, and the death of my favorite temporary tattoo company.

@haraldschirmer Das Hauptproblem ist weniger die Gewohnheit oder die Kompetenz, das #Remarkable ist eigentlich ein PDF-/Ebook-Reader, das ist eigentlich trivial. Das Problem ist vielmehr, dass der Hersteller sein seine Plattform so zugenagelt hat und dass noch niemand sich die Mühe gemacht hat, alternative Firmware wie z.B. #Inkbox OS (https://github.com/sprig/inkbox) auf den Remarkable 2 zu portieren.

Now I did get it working:
#RunCPM v6.3 on my #KoboMini #eReader
(in the SSH-console)
via #Inkbox v2.0 #Alpine #Linux
RunCPM has been #crosscompiled on my Linux-PC ;)

Okay this is really cool. Just to see what it was like I installed InkBox OS 2.0 (based on Alpine Linux and using the QT framework) on my Kobo Nia*.

There are some very neat things about it, but what I really like so far is the storefront style integration with Project Gutenberg (public domain books) so you can get to reading right away.

* The Nia has had some hardware changes, so using the patch release for my hardware.
