HackberryPiCM5

My opinion is somewhat that the last "real" cyberdeck was the Hackberry Pi, which is essentially the Blackberry I always wanted and that they never produced. Due to it being fully open, there's an insane amount of 3d printing community overlap, where people share their upgrades, designs, modifications and customizations. Raspberry Pi as a platform has revolutionized access to computers in my opinion, though since the RAM crisis started not so much anymore due to the insane price differences. But the Hackberry is the computing device where I think it has lots of potential for being my actual "Linux on the go" that I wanted but never got ... for the last 15(?) years waiting for it.

This is why I went with a Hackberry Pi CM5 [1]. I insert the CM5 I want to, and there's that. It comes with a good, proven BB keyboard. No option for GPIO pins or gamepad module, but I don't need such anyway. Instead, what I have in it is a USB hub which fits nicely in the side. Unfortunately, the RPi CM I had lying around were CM4 with eMMC or CM5 w/o WiFi/BT. So I bought a new CM5, with 16 GB RAM. That was end of last summer. I'm not sure I'd bother now, given the RAM prices which surely affected CM5 prices. Actually, I should probably sell those for profit, since they're not doing anything.

Check out Hackberry Pi devices. Then check out how far Plasma Mobile got, it made insane progress over the last years. I'm currently working on an OS image for the Hackberry devices, maybe it'll get some traction. [1] [1] https://github.com/rogueberry [2] https://github.com/ZitaoTech/HackberryPiCM5

I think the only way to avoid surveillance is to not use their system that enables that. No baseband modem, no arbitrary blobs, no OS that sends data. And should be obvious: no messenger apps that can't be verified. The problem though is not your phone if you set it up right: it's your contacts. Your opsec is worth a shit if any (and I mean _any_) of your friends uses iOS or not Graphene or LineageOS. And this _any_ also means _any_ security bug that is unfixed which alone by itself is not guaranteeable. Humans are bad at time awareness, and that's the strength of surveillance systems. I'm currently working on porting Mobian (or Nix, haven't decided yet) with Plasma to the Hackberry Pi device. In my opinion that's the first untrackable device due to it relying solely on Wi-Fi. Combined with an Atheros Wi-Fi USB stick this has the potentia

Check out the Hackberry designs from ZitaoTech. They're pretty amazing. I'm currently in the process of porting Plasma Mobile onto the device so that there's a better UI for it. [1] https://github.com/ZitaoTech/HackberryPiCM5

It looks similar to this project: https://github.com/ZitaoTech/HackberryPiCM5 I picked one up a few months ago and I like it.

> As we know, it's always been somehow difficult or tricky to add sound for RaspberryPi. Some use gpio to generate pwm to make sound for speakers, some use I2S audio module to generate sound for speakers. But they all have some shortcomings. PWM generated from gpios on raspberryPi have much noise that make the speakers nealy usable, and I2S audio module will occupy the very precious gpio resoureces(usually take 3 gpio pins). And in some operating system there is no driver for these pwm or I2S audio module. Due to the reasons above this is how I solve the sound problem.
