Take apart junk electronics and sell the components online for extra brozouf. Don't think it really counts though, since the stuff is old and low tech like radios, boomboxes, VCRs, etc.

I work with electronics, designing and putting together circuits and programming them to do little shit I could find useful.
Got a 3D printer kit on order and plan on using it to build some project cases and wearables for going 'even deeper' into the /Cyber/ lifestyle, perhaps maybe make something worth brozouf or do prints for others with designs
I'm still trying to figure out what I could produce as cyberpunk, but what I got atm is stuff a Raspberry Pi 3 Wireless into a small mechanical keyboard and wire it to field-reprogram microcontrollers and access Wi-Fi with a flip up LCD?
I should have something drawn up/CAD'd for you guys soonish and a little later a prototype, so you guys can build/develop your own cyberdecks…

I don't want to carry around a giant cyberdeck as novel the thought is. I would be interested in jamming together a DIY pocket PC, with SIM capability. I want to have full, top down control of how I interface with the SIM and perhaps include device spoofing. This may involve having an SMD board printed to better use the limited space instead of stacking boards. It's not impossible to have it done, but it would require ordering 100 - 500 units for an effective cost point.
Legit, if you want to look at some things I could send you some CADs of things I've drawn on paper. It'd be cool to get a pic thread of pocket friendly case designs up.
What I would give to have the peace of mind of an EDC PC that isn't backdoored - and doesn't single me out when using it in public. I'd rather not have my asshole searched extra hard by the TSA carrying a full size DIY deck in my pack.
If anything, maybe we can spark some FOSS hardware design… Anyone down for a competition of good ol meritocracy?

I didn't say 'Giant', or even 'Full-Size', though from the threads I've seen, a full-size mech keyboard with other electronics shoved in is a terrible idea, on almost any level.
I keep thinking of something on the level of pocket gaming system case making it look like a DS or PSP-like device while still being able to have access to all the hardware/software, so you could be doing some /cy/ shit on the subway/bus/train/plane. Which would be cool and stealthy. (something like my terrible sketch?)
With >>53625 making the point of it simply looking like an ebook reader would just make life simple. Simple, flat box with rounded edges, ports, and a spot for the LCD and buttons, making case design near negligible for it.
The more I pour into this idea, the more the ebook reader format is possibly the best format. Stealthy in public, compact, and actually could be nice looking. So now what we would need to do is simply come up with what the 'Deck is capable of, what size LCD we should use,what should be used as our primary micro, and what power source should be used.
[ Minimum ]
> Full Size SD Card Slot
> 6-8hrs Power
> Touch LCD, Size TBD
> SIM/3G Module/Device, Spoofing Capable
> Bluetooth, with hardware power switch, Spoofing Capable
> Power Module
[ Level Two ]
> Wi-Fi Module of decent range, Warwalking
> GPS Module
> Multiple USB ports for external devices
> Headphone/Microphone jack
Any fellow cyberanons got anything it should do to be more useful or cyber? I keep thinking maybe more hardware oriented than hardware, perhaps a Ethernet port? I'm slowly putting together a parts list of what both the handheld and the ebook reader, and after I get something put together I'll start a PCB and case design. Maybe meatspace won't fuck with me

I've stumbled upon an almost perfect device - noodle pi. It really seems to be something similar to old-style PDAs - sturdy, simple and basic, containing a strictly limited number of functions that you're sure about and nothing else. It's almost an anithesis to modern phones - it does some complex things while staying very simple when those do simple things while being overly complex. The only problems are low battery life and lack of audio output and microUSB only can be an annoyance. Its developer has sold them out already but the display he used stopped being sold so he's now redesigning the case for a larger, newer one and hopefully adding a larger battery with the bigger case. He hasn't released files for 3d printing it yet but might do so in the future too. the project also seems to be doing well so if the dev doesn't fuck it up like C.H.I.P. did(rip, they're out of business, one of their manufacturers is still selling the boards but i'm unsure if they are actually producing new ones) we have a possibility of having a proper device without wasting more on its development then we'd spend on doing everything it's capable of. There's an issue of OSes that will run on RPI, as all touchscreen-oriented ones seem to be either really old or are gnome and ubuntu, though even basic system that allows use of notes, books and console for complex stuff would suffice, especially when paired with a small keyboard. it also looks good and isn't a brick with a 4cm2 display.

I wouldn't use internet connection beyond wifi - the device is unlikely to handle most browsers or videos comfortable so i'd limit myself to just basic functions of an music player, book reader, notes and all such basic PDA-like autonomous features that can be relied upon after setting them up at home. Most of these utilities are already in good shape too - image viewer that you can use as map viewer, notes are basic text files, music players are not that good but run ok and don't use too much resources, you could probably even watch videos on this thing. If you wanted games then you can run them quite easily no matter what OS you use and the usb slot would allow to connect a controller.

Looking through the Noodle and associated drek, there would be nothing stopping a fellow cyberwarrior to knock together strictly using Pi Zero modules (or Pi 3 for tablet/full cyberdeck style) and simply building their own case. I'm actually liking that someone is already on the ball designing a case and working 'tronics.
I guess with this new info…
Would making basically making a module that acts as a platform, connecting to and containing all nessessary or wanted parts on a single PCB to conserve space to increase battery size? The connector for the RPi could be in a slot, making it so a runner on the receiving end has to do is drop it in and slot an SD. Working with existing open modules and public software, it shouldn't be too hard to get some produced…for the moment, I'm bashing together a prototype.
Again though, what features would a 2018-2020 handheld cyberdeck have? Besides what your normie cell can do, it should be able to do something worthwhile. Perhaps have a port for expanding capabilites?

>Again though, what features would a 2018-2020 handheld cyberdeck have? It should be more trustworthy, both physically and virtually, then modern phones. Not more capable, not more powerful but more reliable and predictable. It should physically feel like PDAs from 2000s - like a sturdy plastic hull with some shit in it, like a flat box with a rounded edges, not like a brick of glass that modern phones are.
They should offer minimal capabilities that one would require during his daily life: music, videos, notes, pictures, books, alarm and technical features like file manager. You can throw in mic and camera as well, if you wanted to. Wifi is necessary but so is a version without it to be completely autonomous. If you have all this then it already can be used.
If you can safely add sim/3g to the device it would be great for those who use it, though that's not a priority. Bluetooth is even less useful, while gps can be either made into a separate module/dongle or dropped, as your physical address can be found out by other means almost anywhere you go. You could add some cool features like full-sized USB Ethernet ports but these are more useful to a sysadmin and might become a hindrance to some other user who carries it as a daily device.
Basically, the most important thing would be to make it comfortable to use with limited features than to make it universal but annoying(or impossible) to anyone who doesn't carry a keyboard and a linux admin. That's why i think that noodle pi is great - despite its lack of audio, it still has 10/10 physical shape and is capable of viewing photos, books, notes and has wifi when you need more, or at least it would with proper software. I'd honestly use it instead of my phone if it had audio support and had a DE that is at least comparable to android in ease of use, especially with a touchscreen. The only thing i wouldn't be able to do is receive calls and watch streams/yt which is already not very possible due to it being RPI zero.
You also have to understand that not everyone will be using it even if it can offer more than current smartphones, which is highly unlikely, because normalfags are normalfags.

Interesting, have you automated this process? Adding another facet to wardriving; testing the connection for friendly or greatfirewallcommie hotspots.
Check out https://wigle.net it's a massive database of wifi APs and cell towers updated on the regular by over 100k active wardrivers/travelers.
Additional apps that could plug into its API to actually print results of connection attempts would be d0pe. Having a list of anon friendly and open spots would help.

The 1st img is the Orange Pi IOT 3G, which probably would allow a tiny PDA-style device be built, complete with 3G/Wi-Fi capabilities. I think the processors on the Orange might be capable of running a browser, but more testing would have to be done.
The 2nd is Orange Pi PC, which lacks the bluetooth and 3G capabilities, but makes up for it with faster processor and an ethernet port, which I think would fit into the e-book reader or tablet style well.
While I like the Noodle Pi, the Orange Pi SoC seems to cover more bases without need for much external drek. I would think one of these with a battery setup, LCD, and case would pretty much be what any one of us would be after. So ;
Orange Pi PC for large, powerful, (typically hardware) setup.
Orange Pi IOT 3G A/B for light, pocket 'Runner PDAs for light PDA/Music/Internet drek, while able to connect to most common wireless setups.
Thanks for inputting thoughts chummer.

Orange Pi PC/PC2 might fit that, mostly. Comes with power switch, Mic/Cam switches would be cake, and to solve the WiFi, it uses an external transmitter rather than internal, so slap some kind of mechanical break and it can no longer tx/rx at any real distance?

That straight up looks like an old phone paired with a planck keyb.
I like the idea of the noodle pi, and then putting it in a folding case big enough to carry whatever extra peripherals and hardware you desire. Might be more like the size of a small netbook, but my personal requirements are a more rugged case design I could repair anywhere in the world with common machine screws and internal wiring, ie soldered cables no less than 0.5 mm apart.
Hard to say what OS he is using. Betting Arch ARM, but it could even be a custom ROM. If anyone can ID that phone it'd help a lot. Dude bro spydon has a GitHub and a phone app with just over 50 downloads but no personal project blog… Might be a photo on some obscure forum, idk. I'll contact the individual who I think may have snapped that photo.

Seeing as how if I want to use bigger and go thinner for a tablet, I'm gunna end up modding the SoC's double-stacked USB and 40-pin headers (so tall!), why not mod in a power switch for the 4G/3G, and one for the BT/WiFi, and perhaps a small port/barrel jack for expanding the antenna?

Has nobody come up with something like a wearable computer? The Pi Zero is probably small enough to be sewn into a big hoodie with the appropriate peripherals. You could have a zip-up wrist-pocket that contains a small screen and a flexible keyboard, and on your back or something would be a wifi adapter with a flexible antenna running up your back (or coming out of it); install Kali/Parrot on it and you could basically be wearing a pentesting computer, with the right styling the hoodie would also not look weird and clunky.

I honestly think tech clothing needs to add another advantage that a smartphone can't already do. Wearable WARgear is neat, but doesn't necessarily need an interface that could be completely headless and shelled by a phone. The advantage here is being able to hide a bigger, flexible antenna.
Perhaps even simpler, a hoodie with a built in faraday pocket to isolate electronics when you need to have a private chat.

Neodymium magnets(the ones that'd be sufficient for reliably sealing your clothes without looking like a brick) are expensive and still pretty heavy for what they do. Some day the thing might appear on some fashion exposition but other than that i doubt it'll ever become popular.
>>54013
>tech clothing needs to add another advantage that a smartphone can't already do
Yeah, though it can just help integrate it in itself. Backpacks tend to have these headphone holes with rubber cover these days, why not make the same thing in your coat so you can just leave them there comfortably? I do have some problems with what smartphones CAN do though, and if we remove that functionality then such wearable might have some use.
>The advantage here is being able to hide a bigger, flexible antenna.
I've thought the same thing - i've seen radios and they all tend to have issues with antennas, be it their quality, power or length. Generally, long(like 40cm+) wobbly wire offers most utility but is a bit unwieldy, so i wonder is some portable antenna can fix that. Sure it's not something you'll add to your daily clothes but as a pad that goes into the front pocket of a backpack and through a wire into your radio it could work well. You could also make it foldable so you could turn in into a wider antenna when you arrive at a rest. All it takes is a wire to connect to the actual device but it's probably on you anyway so it wouldn't hinder you that much.
>a hoodie with a built in faraday pocket
I'm almost certain it has already been done, as well as the actual pockets. It's also great in a way that you can design it to be used in conjunction with other items like power bank and headphones while keeping it secure.
Also, if looking at equipment integration into apparel, it might be useful to take a look into army/tourist stuff as they are often pretty creative in that regard.

In any gritty cyberpunk scenario, a character is either an outsider or trying to be one.
Three examples I have on the top of my head are:
-Deckard: always dresses and acts like an external character and actually escapes by the end of the movie
-Case (Neuromancer trilogy):is trying to escape his past. In the third book it is mentioned he leaves the criminal lifestyle and forms a family
-Adam Jensen: even though he fails to leave the cyberpunk lifestyle, he never intended to be augmented and tries to act humanely whenever possible

I'm not really sure coats would need that. Most tend to already have an interior pocket or two, and it's extremely easy to just plug the headphones in, slide your mp3 player/phone in it and zip up the jacket. I have seen gimmick hoodies with shitty integrated headphones though, my friend had one until they broke.

It works but some small straps to hold headphones so they don't get in the way, fall when your open the coat and don't catch on things when putting on/off could be pretty nice. Integrated headphones are too bulky, heavy and situational to be useful, imho.

You're right, nobody wants or needs to wear a small and clunky computer when they already carry a far better one 24/7. So the key might be to integrate things that your smartphone CAN'T do. Your smartphone has great (as good as it gets) input and display; but internally it's limited.
Sure you can use your smartphone for wardriving, but your wifi chipset can't be put in monitor mode, there is no pentesting suite on it (unless you've got some crazy shit nobody has access to), you can't hack anything with it.
So what could be useful is:
>A coat/hoodie that integrates a Pi Zero running a pentesting distro hooked up to multiple monitor-compatible wifi adapters, with flexible antennas running through convenient places (back or arms)
>You could connect to it with your smartphone for I/O using bluetooth, or maybe with a USB cable that runs out of it
>You could integrate a RFID/NFC transceiver inside the sleeve for IoT faggotry
>All the components would be distributed inside lightweight impact and water resistant plastic shells sewn into the fabric and you would charge the whole thing by plugging a USB cable somewhere
Maybe you could use Lithium-Ceramic batteries for added safety and flexibility if they have enough power
https://hackaday.com/2018/09/15/testing-lithium-ceramic-batteries-lcbs/
I'm not sure if they have enough juice to run a Pi and peripherals, but being safe and flexible you could have very large segments of them running the entire surface of the hoodie; and being safe even if you pierce them all they do is puff a little bit of smoke

Tbh, i don't loke modern smartphones so much i'd prefer not to develop anything around them. If anything, just using noodle pi with the mentioned improvements as an example of doing all smartphones don't shows how limited they are and how stupid it is for no reason other than stupidity. Basically, all the autism you described can already be done without sewing it all onto your clothes or better yet - by using a proper device. Of many things thta integrate electronics into clothes, one of the few actually useful ones and probably the only one that can offer something superior to other implementations - heating elements in winter clothes. They aren't too common but they work pretty well and offer something that other coats don't(unless you use something weird and unusual like an analog of those chemical hand warmers), while remaining flexible, comfortable and light enough to be wearable.

Those are some neat images, chummer. Left also is cyber af, as it reminds me not all tech is IoT shit or Drones. Got any similar for inspiration/discussion?
Also, is that just some standard pouches on the right? What belt didya use? is that more /k/ a question?
And yes, just some rubberized headphone holes or some velcro straps for making headphone cables less annoying would be all the tech BUILT-INTO the clothing, the rest would be supplied by the user.
> Backpack/Small Pouch
This. This so much. Why put some tech into clothing that will require more maintenance should you, say, want to wash it? Backpack makes it removable and less noticeable, also makes the use perhaps care a bit less about size/shape, as it doesn't need to be pocket sized. Something antenna size could be ran up the side of it? flexible ones could be ran along the inside of the outer surface of just about any pack easily.
>>54031
> Connect to smartphone for I/O
I like the idea, alot. Not only do you not have to figit with the device, but you can simply look like your on your phone. Also another reason for a Pentester's Pack rather than attempting a Cyberc0at
> RFID/NFC for IoT fuckery
> Impact/Water-Resistant shells
These sound schway, but I think a RFID/NFC w/ transceiver in a concealable, printable case would be it, and have it connect to a Pack or pouch. From there, use your phone for I/O. Also, I want one. I'll have to build one in the near future. It should be something that clip/velcros on, or a strap though.
>>54038
Tbh, I agree with you on smartphones, they are incredibly limited. All you'd need for the Noodle to be a semi-limited smartphone is a 3 or 4G module.

I wonder if the Librem 5 will have a wifi card capable of going into promiscuous mode. Other than that, it's just a GNU/Linux machine in a smartphone, so I imagine you could do a lot of stuff with it.

Either that or they are for magazines.

Dunno, i saved this when lurking /k/ a while ago.

I think more along the lines of a folding square piece with a wire running through its surface. When folded, it's compact and fits into the flat pocket on the back of the backpack, while unfolded it can be more like a full-sized station antenna.
>It should be something that clip/velcros on, or a strap
Check out military mounting systems. MOLLE is pretty heavy but tough(there are lighter variants like plastic clips on the bely pic), velcro for haging stuff, etc.
>ll you'd need for the Noodle to be a semi-limited smartphone is a 3 or 4G module.
I'm not using mobile internet so i can't tell but what noodle absolutely needs for me is headphone jack and a bearable OS. Battery life would be good too but powerbank can fix that easily.
>Are there actually any low-voltage, safe elements for this?
Probably, there are plenty of this stuff on the market.

I've seen another flexible antenna that could be printed to a piece of thin cardstock. That particular hackerspace used a bubblejet printer with silver based ink.
And on the topic of killdrone faggotry - a varying array of antennas could improve situational awareness of being able to ID controller RF… possibly even exploit backdoors left in DJI and similar makes.

Damn chummer. I was thinking something maybe the size of what you were suggesting FOLDED UP and then make that foldable. You could keep it unfolded in thin back pocket or fold up to prevent damage if necessary.
But, in all srs, its an antenna. With proper connectors they could easily be swapped for different purposes or replaced/upgraded as wanted.

> Multiple Antennas / Printed Antennas
Truly nifty. I think the multiple antennas is a good idea, if even just for sheer utility. Though the cardstock idea sounds better for indoor/art stuffs…sounds like something to look into though, kinda like the cardstock PCBs?
Your reminding me how little I actually know about the backside of RF tho, I need to do some research!
Speaking of cardstock PCBs (and OP), just how advanced can we get on purpose built, disposable electronics? I continue to see little examples (little LED blink circuit, quarter-sized, on displays to draw attention; NFC tagging; cheap BT earbuds)
…hmmm…
Hows about artsy/cyber cards, printed with art backgrounds and lit via PCB printed over? Maybe directions to some rave/party/meetup/whatev via some NFC or teeny USB capable device, make it look cool via technique above?
If you whom posted about it, drop as much info as you can, as this sounds very useable.

I committed about all of 30 minutes trying to comb my ridiculous subscription list/saved videos. (really old, anon account - not tied to real name/phone)
I found something much better though, this is effectively /the/ whitepaper that explains everything you would like to know about the applicability. That file: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Dong-Youn_Shin/publication/51831079_Printed_UHF_RFID_Antennas_with_High_Efficiencies_Using_Nano-Particle_Silver_Ink/links/00b495222dd2aa66e7000000.pdf?origin=publication_list
Now during my short search I did find a 3D printer company teasing with the idea of releasing a nanoscale printer that can print much smaller, tighter traces. Goes without saying that this is the step to creating thinner nano substrates that could host entire MCU/CPU. That video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDIF8N055j0
The next technical disruption may very well be hardware.

I wanted to make it usable when folded, so that you have it in your pack and still have better connection than if you had just a basic short wire one.

Yeah, but you don't get those in the field, which is where you'll most likely be when you're using those.

There's a printer than can lay optic/carbon fiber between layers of nylon. That makes it a lot stronger but can also act as a faraday cage and can probably be used as a conductive wire.

im basically that npc in your shadowrun game you whiff a katana strike at and instantly die because you fall into a manhole
i think the only /cyber/ thing i really do is know how computers/electronics work and refuse to pay taxes (in some faux-irony, it requires too much in the way of internet/electronics shit to properly register to pay, so fuck it, if the government wants it, they can come and take it. i got brouzouf)
i just really Really REALLY like the concept of karnaugh mapping and similar I/O management and applying that sort of low-level electronics knowledge to literally everything ever. but in terms of actually embracing tech, fuck no, the last phone I had was some 0$ piece of shit from 2010 that i only use because my 0$ piece of shit from 2014 shit the bed and my 2010 one is CDMA instead of being able to adopt a SIM
all I know for sure is that hardware solutions are the final solution and where that fails, the Windows CLI is usually sufficient, and if it's not, PowerShell does just fineinb4 linuxbabby chimpout enjoy your ubuntu-related botnets that can't even run things fast.

Right now, to me CyberPunk is CypherPunk - I am trying to integrate myself into as many different darknet communities as I can an encourage the adoption of encryption and cryptocurrency.
I sip HODLFUEL coffee purchased in BTC, host a Hidden Service on a VPS paid in BTC, write posts on how2crypto.
I am probably the finn.
I think this whole thread quickly devolved into how to make a cyberdeck. I like the idea of a cyberdeck to replace a smart phone (voip/sms via wifi/LTE modem), and I think the military equipment photos >>54020 (left) , is beautiful , but there is no way I can walk around wearing that shit - its just way to try hard. I am not going to put coloured pencils in a tactical belt.

I don't think there's any such thing as a cyberpunk lifestyle outside of the general High Tech Low Life ethos.
I'm a loser with a variety of psychological and health defects, which I mitigate using drugs, both prescription and voluntary. Sometimes the delivery method for these drugs is high tech.
I also spend most of my brouzouf on my computer, and some on clothes, which I prefer to get second hand or online, which is not always easy because I have niche interests and unusual fashion sense(which is to say I usually avoid trends and go for things that are either practical or classical, often as nondescript as possible).
I like my drugs and alcohol and when I was younger I used to actively look for fights. I'm generally antisocial and socially retarded, and frankly I feel a lot more at home with weapons or tools in my hands than I ever will in any corporate environment.
Is any of this cyberpunk? I have no fucking clue. I don't think I even care much. Cyberpunk is fiction, which reality is slowly catching up to aspects of. I enjoy that fiction, and the worlds often depicted are interesting to me and seem to make a lot of sense if they're written properly(which nothing in the last decade or so has been). Beyond that, I don't really give a fuck about living any kind of life but my own life. Gather knowledge, pass it on to others, try to do the right thing and ask that others do the same. That's really about all there is to my life.
