    I knew about the Fairphone (I even owned 2 different models in the past) but now I learned that there&#39;s a fair mouse project https://www.nager-it.de/projekt/projektumsetzung The project had been around for a long time already. The design is dated (USB-A cable option only) and has not been updated much since the inception. But besides that it&#39;s very cool that they have made most of the designs open https://www.nager-it.de/informationen/material and share a lot of information about repair...

    More than 16 years ago I bought an FM transmitter kit from some Polish website. I never managed to hook it up since it required a 12V DC power supply and the manual was only in Polish. A few days ago I found out that the drinking water fountain of my cat has a 12V AC power supply and I had an idea to make an AC-DC converter using a diode bridge and a DC voltage regulator. Good news - I managed to get the power supply to work on a breadboard. But then later I discovered that the coil for the FM...

    Uploading index.html and .htaccess files to public_html/ folder through FTPS like it&#39;s 2002... I&#39;m not complaining, actually the opposite! Loving the simplicity of this setup that would probably be enough for most websites that people put on various PaaS offerings nowadays.

    My main &quot;password manager&quot; has been a git managed directory of gpg encrypted files. One per service/website, like example.com.gpg. Each file would contain password on the first line and then any number of key: value metadata fields on the following lines. To get the password I would do gpg -dq example.com | head -1 | {pbcopy,xcopy}. I know it&#39;s not perfect and has tons of downsides, but it has worked for me for many years.

    I finally took the time to migrate to GrapheneOS. I really liked my iPhone 13 mini, but it fell to the ground and its screen got cracked. GrapheneOS really makes Android usable again for me...
