awooo :autism:​🏴‍☠️🐾⎇

@computersandblues This is awesome!

My blog and some other services like game servers and matrix are also hosted on a phone, though with no battery at all and no solar power, at least yet!

@awooo @computersandblues What does your set up look like? How do you get a mobile phone to run without battery? What software do you use?

@D4lt0n @computersandblues Here's a photo, it has an extra USB C port attached on the left, which feeds power to the battery protection board (which I cut away from the spicy pillow)

There's one diode in series to drop down the voltage (the board cuts power if it gets up to 5V) and a capacitor to prevent instability

As for the software it currently has the sdm845 u-boot fork, and a Debian install with the kernel from postmarketOS, the reason I recently switched to Debian was that musl and the lack of systemd can be really annoying, especially with game servers
