I have (finally) built a fully e2e working purely decentralised and federated IRC-compatible chat server. It is currently a PoC, but it’s already working quite well.

@david@daiwei.me Oh I did 😅
@prologic@twtxt.net Must say I do kinda like the rounded design, passport screen ratio, the inner screen textured finish and the promised pencil support, making this a pocketable drawing tablet.

Since earlier this year, I main a TCL phone, I got during a sale event, for under $150 and it really has pretty alright specs: 8GB RAM, recently updated to Android 16, 90Hz refresh rate, even the headphone jack, …
