Got my hands again on a #cellphone that I regularly used years ago, where the original #keypad stopped working and I replaced it with tactile mini switches and attached the replacemend keypad with silicone to the device. Was durable, and still works :-).

Phone is still used irregularly.

#WhatsMissing:

A modern competitor to #OperaMini with:

• (optional) better #compression,
• (optional) #TUI / #TextBrowsing mode
• choice between different #proxies
• native #Tor, #IPFS & #Proxy Support
• Supporting #Android & #Linux
• Excellent #privacy features (only #allowlisted #Cookies and #JavaScript are being accepted!)
• Native #DarkReader-style integration to darkify or otherwise customize the output of the screen (i.e. print Amber / Green on black or Black on White for #eInk displays
• Can be used not just with a #touchscreen but also #Keypad and arrow keys.

Why?

• that is a good middle-ground between #Lynx and @torproject / #TorBrowser,
• Because @mozillaofficial / #Mozilla is fucking up #Firefox big time by wasting #money on anything but it as their core product...

OFC since #Opera #Mini needs a trustworthy proxy backend any "#clone" would need an #OpenSource'd & #SelfHosting-capable #backend (similar to @ActionRetro 's #FrogFind .com as it breaks #E2EE.

• Otherwise making the Browser just lie by not loading any #Multimedia contents like #images unless clicked may be another option chosen if one doesn't have a #Server to act as said #CompressionProxy / #PerformanceProxy in return...

Needless to say it would be a godsent for anyone stuck on #EDGEland and slower speeds (i.e. #SATCOM like #Iridium)...

• Sadly building a #browser is thousandsfold harder than building a Linux #distro...

Today I'm going to show you how I turned a cheap USB numeric keypad into a pad that I use for my digital painting shortcuts under GNU/Linux.
