@linmob @dannycolin @jawsh I was able to get a pinephone with a custom kernel to be a usb keyboard, you could probably make it be a mouse without too much trouble.

It's not much, but I made my first 3d printed thing in #freecad this morning. Hello world.

Freenas won't boot on these corebooted hp g2 chromeboxen unless there is a microsd card in the slot. Ha. Weird bug.

Sooner or later I'm expecting the chiropractor to just give me a perscription for a 2x4 and a handful of u bolts.

I just spent two hours trying to figure out how to open a usb stick in arch wondering what voodoo they do now that they didn't used to do when I last played with it 10 years ago. Turns out a background update just wiped out the in use kernel module tree. Reboot fixed it. I am not l33t.

I need to rehome a garage full of retro junk and try to save it from being scrapped. Anyone near seattle need pc parts? Indigo workstation? Sun rackmount machines? Agp video cards? Isa ide cards? Send me your shopping list and I'll see what I can save.

More stuff I know we've got: Wyse serial terminal. 2 g4 powermacs. A g3 beige tower. CRT monitors. AT keyboards. Serial mice. Probably some bus mice. Many old laptops from 8086 to pentium4 (and I'm keeping my eye open for the power supplies).

Thanks for the boosts. I'm really happy the right people are seeing this. None of these systems are complete and suitable to play with. My friend was a tech (I mean this lovingly) "collector" and I'm trying to find other people that need the parts he saved to keep his lab running.I'm not looking for money. I think going through this stuff is fun and I'm happy to see it used instead of scrapped. My old friend's wife just wants it gone, but probably wouldn't mind a thank you.#rayhadcoolstuff

Sorted a bunch of cards today. Found two soundblasters, two 3dfx cards, a busmouse card, and a lot of 8 bit modems. Looking for homes for these!
