vintage army cargo pants on right now, baggy af and ready for any 'portable' device I throw at them

check out my Steam Deck, so portable.

I wear size 36 Levi's and this one fits in my back pocket

My DS XL definitely fits in my pants pockets. They're pretty loose fitting pants but not overly so.

Either cargo pants, or their waist size is much larger than average.

ds (XL, even) fits in my skinny jeans

IDK about pants pockets, but blazer- and sport-coat-wearing needs to make a comeback. Those hip pockets that can comfortably hold all the old pulp "pocket size" paperbacks from back in the day are so damn nice. Great for enormous modern smartphones, too.

Nice. Did you build your Hackberry or buy it?

The Hackberry looks awesome. I was going to build/buy one, but I wanted a slightly bigger screen and keyboard, and I also wanted to save some money by using an old 3b+ I had laying around. And I wanted to be able to build it quickly from off-the-shelf Amazon components. So all-in I think I spent ~$70 on this one, whereas the hackberry pi would have cost about double that, and then I would have had to buy the CM5 module.

Curious to hear of your experience with the hackberry - I still might consider getting one of those myself.

The Bumble Berry has a touchscreen, so if you need to use the Raspberry PI OS GUI, you can simple use your finger as a mouse pointer. I've found it works pretty well for the rare occasions that I need to start the GUI.

However, I mostly use this unit in terminal, which means I boot to terminal and only occasionally start up the GUI with startx when I need it.

I use terminal because: I'm trying to brush up on my terminal skills and most of my use-cases are covered in terminal with applications. Some of my favorite terminal applications are:

tmux - for managing multiple terminal windows nano - for writing code (occasionally I use vim) tty-clock - nice clock screen saver lynx - text based web browser. works surprisingly well on some sites like wikipedia epy - ebook reader - great for reading classic free ebooks from Project Gutenberg doom - because doom cmatrix - matrix-style screensaver - looks really cool

My main use case is for learning new code languages - it's nice to have a handheld device on me to practice writing code when I have a few minutes on me but don't have a laptop

A quick look at a 3D printing service shows $20 for the upper part of the case. Not too bad. But also consider looking for a 3D printer at a local library or makerspace
