Re: "I'm new here as well I saw several interestin posts about..."
i also revived many old forgotten apps for maemo which were available for maemo fremantle on nokia n900, and now those apps are back to life and available for maewo leste in their application store.
it is hard. sometimes i see a function and i have no idea what it does and from which library it is called. and it is not documented and does not exist in modern liiraries. so i am trying to figure out what to it does and what to use instead of it today.
it is a great satisfacion for e to see that effort someone put is not wasted, but it is useful today.

i think we already live in the age of cyberpunk. it makes sense to use old devices when those are supported by mainline kernel.
it makes sense sometimes because the device was good: my ibook g4 which i use with gentoo for powerpc doesn have meltdown or spectre or any cpu vulnerability yet o be discoered.
on the other hand some deices it is make sense to use because those hve good support in mainline kerner. for example texas instruments mobile chipsets have vey good support in kernel.
so i found sch device ad i run maemo leste which works on devuan, with contemporary software.
I'm new here as well I saw several interestin posts about hempcrete, phones and other cool stuff. so I joined bbs Is there anyone into recycling, upcycling, organic plastics, geodesic domes, trading/swapping CD/DVD/Vinyl/Games?
