Xavier 🌻<p>Been daydreaming about taking on my first <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/diy_electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>diy_electronics</span></a> build. I'd like to make a clamshell, portable <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/palmtop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>palmtop</span></a> of sorts running <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> on <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/RaspberryPi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RaspberryPi</span></a>, preferably with a <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/mechanicalkeyboard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mechanicalkeyboard</span></a>. It'd act as a simple, distraction-free word processor; I'd only be using <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/SublimeText" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SublimeText</span></a> and/or <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/emacs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>emacs</span></a> to write poetry, fiction, blog posts, and essays. </p><p>I've never done anything like this before. But after undertaking minor tech repairs/upgrades I want to give myself a challenge.</p><p>Caveat: I don't have soldering experience and I don't have a 3D printer, either. I reckon there's services where you can pay to get stuff printed for you? </p><p>I'm nervous to try soldering but I think it would be fun to learn and allow me to take on a lot of other projects. </p><p>I'm envisioning something like this: <a href="http://penkesu.computer/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">http://</span><span class="">penkesu.computer/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a>. Perhaps with bevels on the chassis so it's more comfortable to write.</p><p>Not sure what to tag this as lol.</p><p>Ty!</p>
