try using treesize free for checking which directories take much space.

postmarketOS, mobian, etc… these are ‘real’ linux distros that work without the android parts. as your device doesn’t have a (near-)mainline kernel port i believe you can boot postmarketOS with the stock downstream kernel, though many peripherals won’t function.
halium based distros like ubports and droidian use a part of the android userspace to make those peripherals work, which can be better if mainline is not possible.

just use ublock origin and a proper password manager. google safe browsing means google sees what sites you browse.

nice! i’d recommend keeping the battery a bit lower tho, and perhaps lower charging currency/voltage.
i believe it’s also possible to run proper linux on this phone btw

- Comment on Why is Unraid popular in the self-hosting community ? 1 week ago:
Some don’t care much about the license. Like how many people run Xpenology (hacked synology dsm) or Plex or stuff like that.

People clearly hate these. Why bother? If you’re so “smart” just go somewhere else that suits you. And fuck AI slop.

maybe try qemu-kvm? i recall hearing from an amd user friend that it worked.
- Comment on Can Mac apps be emulated and run on Windows? 2 weeks ago:
Sad :/ I never had an AMD machine so haven’t tried, but I heard it’s pretty well working nowadays… At least I see a lot of successes on r/hackintosh
- Comment on Can Mac apps be emulated and run on Windows? 2 weeks ago:
No, but you can run x86 MacOS on a VM. There’s no graphics acceleration unless you passthrough a supported GPU tho.
- Comment on Help with Gateway Solo 2550 2 weeks ago:
Nice, then the driver wouldn’t be an issue.
btw I just remembered using the format tool in WinXP (My Computer -> right click drive -> format) to create a bootable MS-DOS (think it was the winme one - so ms-dos 8?) floppy/usb. Not sure if it’s on 2K too, would be worth checking. If it also works on an internal drive maybe you could partition the drive and install DOS on the second drive without any external media.
- Comment on Help with Gateway Solo 2550 2 weeks ago:
Well I guess you can then wipe the 2k partition and install dos/win9x and boot into that and remove the second partition, not too sure how partition management works on win9x/dos though.
A better solution might be to pull out the hard drive and installing dos there. This way you can also check if the drives got any bad sectors and also dump the current data so you can restore win2k later. (especially if this is a factory install, the drivers you have installed now may be impossible to find later on)
Is the hard drive easily accessible? Laptop pata to usb doesn’t cost much.
Even if you install a pcmcia lan card, you might need to install the driver for that (lol). btw i’m sure you did already but do check if the usb is enabled in bios.

- Comment on I'm "use NFS forfilesharing old." what's the current optimal solution for shared drives if I have like 3 linux machines in the house? 1 month ago:
I use both samba and NFS (with freebsd) on the same disk for my freebsd, linux and win7 desktop machine. All works perfectly fine.
I’m running an rsync daemon for large transfers and use copyparty for easily grabbing files on phones etc.

I would try getting a tablet. I don’t like Apple devices because of their “jailed” software policy but iPads have awesome display panels, maybe getting an older model for cheap could be good. Have an iPad 3 (2012) and the panel is still miles better than my cheap Lenovo P11 (2021).

projectsandcastle.org/status it worked on sandcastle, maybe it hasnt been ported to mainline yet?
if usb works then usb networking may be a better option
- Comment on Can I self-host on old iPhones? 2 months ago:
You have an iPhone 9? It doesn’t exist, you probably have something else.
iPhone 7 got Linux ported, so yes you can. Try looking for postmarketOS (though there aren’t that many working features, it’s good enough for running servers)
