Upon suggestion of @platypus I went to the cafe and just took my tablet there (unfucking the laptop's rootfs flash drive took too long, and ArduinoDroid's avrdude didn't seem to work very well), so just doing some chatting in IRC and trying to figure out how the hell I'm supposed to make a serial link to a Proxmox VM from the host (thinkstation on the top left pane).

Attached below is the screenshot of that.. much turminel, very h3xx0r! But so far nobody has come up to me calling me "evul h3xx0r" yet.. very intriguing! I expected things to be much worse.

A glass of Duvel in front of me, tastes great! Cheers!

Nice!

What tablet are you using? always forgot to ask

@JoshBent Medion LifeTab X10302 🙂

@xzvf there haven't been any so far, so just stock ROM with TWRP, SuperSU and Xposed right now.. but come to think of it, even with just the kernel blob that Medion built and sources from elsewhere, it could be possible to Macgyver together my own ROM 🤔

@Haxk20 thanks! Regarding the aforementioned custom ROM, do you think that this would be possible to do? I'm not an Android dev and am only familiar with build processes (mostly x86-64 but limited experience with aarch64 or Android build toolchain). Not sure if it's possible to just inject the stock kernel into a custom ROM though. Would it be worth investing time in?

@Haxk20 alright, gotcha. Tomorrow I'm getting myself a secondhand Nexus 6P which should be way more hackable than this tablet anyway.. guess I'll dick around and familiarize myself with Android builds with that one then. Thanks for the feedback!

@Haxk20 sounds cool! Any link to your channel?

@Haxk20 :')
Do let me know when you decide to make one! :)

@Condor what kind of usb/bluetooth keyboard do you use with that?

@JoshBent After connecting it to my PC I've found in the Device Manager that my keyboard very helpfully self-identifies as a Medion BT Keyboard.. it's just whatever case and keyboard was next to the tablet as its peripherals. The only properties that I can get from it is that it's black and magnetically sticks to the case. Also that I typed this comment from it and that I hate its stupid butterfly switches. Just to make things thinner.. who the fuck invented this shit?! More often than not it doesn't register keystrokes or double registers them... So for actual serious work on the tablet (like managing my servers in Termux when WSL causes me to curse WanBLowS to the moon and beyond again) I prefer to just use a USB desktop keyboard.. usually that's the one that came with my Acer desktop because I'm not really using it anywhere - on the desktop I'm using a Logitech keyboard now.

@JoshBent no wait, on the back side there's something written.. Medion E89321 apparently. Well, I wouldn't recommend getting it.
(repost because apparently le tired me can't even do something simple as getting the damn mentions right -.-)

@Condor it's probably this one? I tried one of those for my old tablet kind of setup and it was horrible, way easier to just get a laptop for the same price, props for making actual use with that.

@JoshBent Very true. The tablet is decent and with its 8 cores far better than my craptop which has only 2 and even at 825MHz (powersave mode) severe heating issues because HP are professional enganeers like that... But that enclosure + keyboard was a real cash burn. I'm seriously considering to just make an USB-based enclosure of my own for it, that I can just jack my tablet into.
