    Ok, had a weekend off and relaxed yesterday night doing some retro computing.
    Installed on the old . Luckily I remembered that this machine does boot from a USB pen drive when ones uses the right commands in .

    Services started: and the server.

    Isn't it about time we start rallying against #proprietary #firmware already?

    From every #EV and #car being a glorified #telemetry machine, to every chip out there basically harboring #SecretSauce with the "trust me bro" guarantee attached.

    Neither #US interests, #Chinese interests or private interests should hold so much power. No one should.

    All firmware; I repeat, ALL FIRMWARE should be #OpenFirmware. The firmware isn't open? #Ban the #product outright.

    Gasp. I hope that it were true, but my heart has been broken by disappointment before (*cough*#librem*cough*). But I digress.

    Can somebody give me a damn #Linux phone with #openfirmware, #gnome or #plasma mobile, a decent camera, mic and screen with enough processing, memory and storage to meet with modern self hosting in mind.

    Indeed, who can deliver me my dream phone? I'd be ever so happy to know about it.

    Well holy hell. #SecureBoot doesn't work when you got a firmware rootkit? Say it ain't so...!

    Tell me again why #OpenFirmware is a bad idea again?

    The #SecretSauce fallacy keeps getting pummelled in the face, decade after decade.

    Wishlist #SolarDeck #HackerDeck #CyberDeck

    - low power, daylight readable, artisan design

    - Accepting a wide range of (unstable) (AC and DC) power source including solar
    + has a long lasting easy to replace/make diy internal battery

    - Right after power on boots into a #Forth from ROM/Flash: a full featured multi language terminal OS (command line, editor, compiler, debugger, resident monitor, filesystems, & documentation + source included). Which also acts as general boot loader :)
    + Open modular design with embedded (basic) platform independent drivers
    + Over an #hackable zero configuration auto discovery self-healing variable speed powered serial peer-to-peer bus which can be daisy-chained

    - If #Wireless, supports mesh-networking with nearby wireless peer and secure relaying

    - If #Networked, offer some (common/well-known) store-and-forward #DDTN services

    { to be extended }
