I am interested too, my fallback bank trapped me (or my courage to resist), the fallback of fallback would be crypto but i am not sure i want to depend on this too...

Meanwhile, the last hope is that people will use more cash (if the digital world is too hostile, oh wait it is!)

Isn't it paradoxal, that those mentioned companies had set up an OSPO (to do OSS the right/community way... with the right/community minded people)

I believe this kind of schizophrenia is the price to pay of (too) big organizations.

A smooth transition from GNU screen to tmux, will be appreciated for potentially 60K users.

https://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=screen

I note that tmux has only 40K users (of debian popcon users)

https://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=tmux

I am considering to try the link shared previously:

https://github.com/grml/grml-etc-core/blob/master/etc/tmux.c...

Now I miss a way to translate CLI options and batch files

With all respect to the younger generation, this is project is oversold compared to previous similar projects.

BTW, which OSHW project is advanced enough to deserve more contributions ?

It is integration of SIM800L modem with ESP32

Software side, the main app (aka OS):

NuttX worth considering if you're coming from Linux background, I liked it and related community, BTW they have a workshop later this year.

Back to the subject implementing drivers can be a good warmup exercise, you can get inspiration from hints I have shared:

I take notes in shell scripts.... which I improve each time I need them again, until it's stable enough to be used as automation recipes... this gives me more time to take notes...

I am wondering if edge of chasi is too sharp like some recent ones...

I am considering to sand P15S's edge because it feels like resting hands' palm on razor blade...

@Lenovo I can test your future thinkpads
