OksanaThank you! And yes, TV-out is a good way to check whether it's software or hardware fault.00:44
OksanaSo far, I have disassembled and assembled back the thing, the issue hasn't gone away despite no obvious damage inside.00:44
OksanaIs that of any use at all? https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Nokia-N900-Service-Cable/33330500345902:04
OksanaAt this rate, it is easier to find a domesheet than a flex cable: https://www.puhelinvaraosat.fi/category/185/n90002:22
MaxdamantusHmm .. seems my 'F' key is about to fall off. Wonder how to resecure it.05:51
MaxdamantusMaybe a tiny bit of silicone, dunno.05:53
brolin_empeyIs “foldable smartphone” in practice interchangeable with “foldable smartphone with difficult to access and remove battery”?  Apparently yes but I have not researched the subject in depth.07:25
brolin_empeyMy heuristic is that the news about such computers I have seen is for models from Samsung and maybe other companies such as Huawei that are known for sealing the battery inside the computer.07:27
brolin_empeyHeh, Amazon Prime Video is not the opposite of composite video (AKA “TV out”).07:34

brolin_empey“The Original Was Un-Protected.”12:04
brolin_empeyDoes that mean this program is an uncracktro?  Or just an intro, I guess, not a crack intro.12:04
WikiwideCould somebody perhaps figure out how to open this webpage on Nokia N900? Encryption disagrees with MicroB and Fennec (and hence Opera too?), QML-Browser crashes13:36

KotCzarnyvnc ?13:38
WikiwideTired. Opening Firefox over ssh -X doesn't often happen with success.13:39
KotCzarnythat's because X is inefficient13:39
KotCzarnytry setting up vnc server somewhere13:39
KotCzarnyit's much more smart than plain X13:40
WikiwideHuh. How so? What is inefficient about old plain X?13:40
KotCzarnyfor once, lack of compression13:40
KotCzarnynext comes whole screen/window updates13:41
KotCzarnyvnc updates only what's necessary13:41
KotCzarnyand it even has jpeg comrpession for slow links13:41
Wikiwide/me will try VNC some time, just, don't want to chase down fashion aka Wayland route - too much change isn't stable13:41
KotCzarnythen run some older linux13:42
KotCzarnyyou can even setup vnc server on windows13:44
KotCzarnywhich might be easier13:44
KotCzarnythen run firefox/chrome there13:44
WikiwideNo worries. Will figure out somehow. Just, doesn't Xorg have x11 widgets or something? Then it potentially could send widget changes, not window changes, over the protocol?13:45
KotCzarnytheoretically yes, practically x over net is traditionally slow13:45
KotCzarnythat's why vnc idea was born and implemented13:46
WikiwideYes. I haven't figured out heads or tail of VNC yet though. Perhaps because I have no 24/7 server - my laptop is switched on only 8/5, at most.13:47
KotCzarnydo you have any windows machine on the network?13:48
WikiwideNay. We haven't bought any new computer in ages, and old computers run Linux way better than Windows.13:48
KotCzarnybtw. vnc server doesnt require monitor13:49
WikiwideNokia 8110 4G doesn't count as a computer for this purpose.13:49
KotCzarnyit's just a server that runs in background and allows clients to connect to it13:49
WikiwideYes, but which computer could run 24/7? Something quiet, ultra power efficient, and tiny. Haven't got such a tiny 24/7 server, yet.13:50
WikiwideXorg can/does support SPICE protocol for remote desktop : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPICE_(protocol) And SPICE supports encryption, but not sure about compression.13:58
WikiwideGood night! It's nearly midnight already...13:59
brolin_empeyOksana: Thanks to the desktop version of Vivaldi, here is the page you linked as a single image: http://brolin.be/stuff/Oksana_20191015.png14:53
mp107I use Google Weblight bookmarklet "proxy" for reading problematic websites on Opera Mini (not on N900 though)20:31
mp107`javascript:location.href='http://googleweblight.com/?lite_url='+location.href`20:31
Maxdamantusfwiw, that Russian website above works for me using my MITM proxy.20:36
Maxdamantus(in Opera Mobile)20:37
Maxdamantus(though that should just work in general, since it's connecting with a recent version of OpenSSL and a recent set of CA certs)20:38
