Hardware Librem 5

I recently saw The DIY FOSS cyborg -- Dustycloud Brainstorms and Dweb camp 2024 presentation video. It is
awesome what Zacchaeus Scheffer describe there and I wanted to share it with you guys.

I emailed Zacchaeus and told me he is here at this forum.

@Eikcaz Congratulations on your efforts using Librem 5 as a wearable compute setting. What you have done gave me some insights to what it is possible to do.

My first question: Would you share a how-to of your configuration/installation/service setup through the GNU Guix functional package manager with us?

Hi @Tonyp. I put together a guide some time ago to help people set up guix on the L5. You can see the guide at https://zacchae.us/guix-usd.html (or plain text replacing .html with .org). I DO NOT reccomend blindly running it as a script, but it should give all the relevant details.

Also, in my talk and in the blog post, I wear Vufines, but I should mention that I have upgraded to Xreal Airs like in this photo:

The design is really quite simple. On the technology side, everything is USB plug-and-play/works out of the box, except that I went through >10 different USB-C hubs before I found one that works (sorry for linking to amazon…): Amazon.com
Otherwise, it’s just an art’s and crafts project.

Love it, but remember me about the Tinsel / (Lametta in German) Tribe in Neal Stephensons Snow Crash… ;D

Come on, just skip this shit and god connected to your Server with your Librem5 by BCI (Brain Computer Interface)… :wink:

OpenBCI products are quite expensive.

Yes but when we have an open source one in future i would love to use it. Think its available too because of the gaming world need them (to cheat) :wink:

This will be the future and how our progeny will interact with computers, likely.

Its just… this thread is right about affordable hardware and hardware with a detached character of the human Body. And i think it will likely end up this way in some countries. Just because it is cheap and more reliable - because more open as some closed source stuff.

Right now the usage of A.I., which is like a binary blob or Google in the year 2000 - fells like a Black Box. With working solutions, background information to everything. Can have the same effect - that you can understand and learn how to fix complex Programs or Code like a pro.

Its just… this is not the target for this LLMs customers, its your Data and you teach how to train the LLM to be more genius. Its like a Zombie which not kill you, but ask you for help and train and food … and kill you afterwards.
