☂️-

i think samsungs already do this. as long as i can turn it off if i ever need to.

a charging limit would also be nice.

i keep having issues and bugs on nextcloud. maybe i should try opencloud

its sad that this is what the country decided to do. FOSS has nothing to do with the wars waged by politicians, sometimes at the expense of the very people trying to collaborate together despite chauvinism.

i imagine it will sadly get worse as these types of conflicts escalate.

yeah thats cool, huawei, very impressive.

but for me locked bootloader = useless.

i was about to send a screenshot, but i can’t reproduce it now. it freezes and stops responding to some or all input, and all the dock+appmenu icons are gone. its one of these or all symptoms, and i can usually reproduce it when coming back from sleep. logs say ‘broken pipe, error reading events from display’ i can update if it happens again.

I’m using the same generic ps2 driver for the touchpad. its an old alps glidepoint, i can get it to work perfectly with all features on windows 7 with the proper drivers, needless to say thats a bit unworkable.

on linux it works initially with multitouch scroll and everything, then gradually starts to behave like a wet touchscreen. ive tried different kernel versions, livebooted a couple different distros and tried a few very old solutions i found floating around, like using the synaptics driver for some reason. found it for cheap and replaced the hardware. nothing seems to do the trick.

edit: it did the thing, its usually functional enough for screenshots:

ok it worked! thanks a lot! can’t believe it was that easy. Gnome spazzes out a little bit after wake sometimes, is that something i can work around?

do you happen to know a thing or two about diagnosing trackpad issues? or at least the right direction? 😂

what kind of driver could the keyboard be using? lsmod shows nothing beyond the HID driver, but thats being used by the external mouse which works normally after sleep.

lshw shows it going by /dev/input/event6 or something like it?

yes do it.

depending on what you get for a wifi card, you might want to virtualize some flavor of linux like openwrt to run the wifi.

bsd (opnsense, pfsense) is notoriously bad for wifi support.

the biggest challenge here is selecting the right wifi hardware imo.

i will test that out later today, thanks!

how do i do 1? having timeout to suspend and lid close to suspend would be great. and id like to see some example scripts!

i had pretty much given up on standby with this one.

yes, i’m on ubuntu, using all the default drivers.

and i would guess its finnicky because its an old laptop.

is it a matter of scripting rmmod and modprobe to run on suspend/wake?

how do you deal with kb+trackpad not working after wake?

what?? im definetly using this thanks for makong me aware of it.

id use a pci express or better card with AP mode. openwrt is just minimal linux, so any card that works eith linux works with openwrt.

i use a similar setup than what you want and it works well, you just want to make sure you use passthrough for the wireless and wired cards, and use the correct wifi card.

you can simply use passthrough. openwrt acts like any other minimal linux distro.

having another one of these in a cluster is not off the table, but for now size is a priority. its all backed up with another router to take over if needed.

you do if you want more than just a router

not the same class of device though
