I replaced my #thinkpad #t430 's 14 inches 1600x900 (FHD) screen with a 2560x1440 (WQHD) screen with higher DPI.

Obviously, i'd need to change fonts, icons, wallpaper, some progrms, and everything that looks odd on hidpi.

Look how tiny the WindowMaker dockapps look now. They are tinier than my pinky fingernail (although my huge gorilla hands are not a good size standard). These photos have been taken before i configure fonts, etc. Even XTerm got so tiny and unreadable...

From the same authors of “a stop job is running, enjoy infinite shutdown” and “no Internet connection, unable to ping google; cannot boot”:

I installed linux on this laptop with encrypted /home partition a few months ago. Have not booted it since, until now. I dont remember its partition password, so i tried the few ones i can rember. But can only do this twice per time... cuz after the second try, systemd just hangs infinitelly showing plymouth's spinning wheel.

Wrong password? Corrupt disk? Rougue daemon does not start? Display manger failed? Why do you want to know?

Yeah... You can just pres <Esc> and get to the scary log screen text and see systemd signature “∞min ∞s / no limit” message, but why would you?

Nice, #SeaMonkey cannot open SeaMonkey's addons page because of whatever #mozilla is doing on their webpages.

After almost 30y of DOOM, i have never played The Final DOOM: The Plutonia Experiment.

Playing it rn.
Top quality maps, one of the bests 90s maps i played. But the Casali Brothers should have chilled with far away chaingunners tho...

Self note: when in need to adapt an LCD panel for one laptop into a different laptop, do not sand down the nubs, or the movement of the file on the panel may damage it. Use a clipper instead.

I flashed with a Raspberry Pi Pico microcontroller. I had to solder the pins on it (because i bought the pinless version, for i did not know there were two different versions).

My first soldering btw.

T60 librebooted!

Era para eu corebootar o Thinkpad T60 usado que eu comprei barato. Mas ele veio com Windows 7, e há pouco tempo eu tinha encontrado o disco do Need for Speed Carbon (edição de colecionador) que o seninha de 10 anos encheu o saco do pai pra comprar.

I have tried quite a few different ergonomic keyboard layouts, but end up returning to QUERTY because of keybindings and Ctrl+… commands in programs. Also, i have always thought that keyboards evolved to dump lots of keys at the right side of the keyboard, making me have to rotate my right wrist clockwise to reach important keys like Enter and backspace.

So i made this naive layout, which is basically QWERTY, but with the Y~P keys shifted two columns rightwards.

I am getting used to it, and will probably regret in a few days and get back into plain QWERTY like every time.

Expect typos.

[Another idea i had is to shift the letter keys one row up, and move the row of number keys to the row above space, so my palmtree-sized hands can rest more comfortably whyle writing text.]

Nobody has ever danced with me as tender as Stallman dances with his Librebooted Thinkpad...
Why live then?
