👻 eboy (ectoplasm boy)<p>The Nook Glowlight was originally released in 2013 and discontinued in 2024. I found it the discards of a college. I just tried downloading some epubs onto it's 500 mb storage with good success.

Thanks to a book recommendation by @bert_hubert [1], I went on a tangent learning more about the absolutely fascinating history and workings of core memory (and core rope memory, its read-only version). Some of this also very interesting for #PermaComputing and giving me ideas for future art projects...

Another Lakritz #FPGA dev board test. 336x192 16-colour crocus test image at 4x scale.

1366x768 was a ubiquitous laptop resolution for many years. I hope my project will help find a purpose for unused LCD panels. #permacomputing

I'm pondering design for a super minimal #pocketComputer, not a phone replacement but rather a device tailored to do only what's useful to me not distracting, basically what do i need on an average day out when i don't want to be stuck in my phone?

Ideally i could make this modifiable in a way that anyone could tailor it to their own needs and make one, so:

If you had to choose 4 essential features to leave your phone at home, what would they be?
