Check whisper apk on fdroid. The thing runs local. It does just this. The model gets audio in an undetermined language, figures out which one automatically, transcribes it, translates it to English (only English atm) and then it speaks it out. It’s not using any acceleration and its a very early build. My Pixel 9 is getting about 3 seconds delay from input to output. It’s all running local.

It’s doable.

Just to confirm again - Yes, it works with a single cable both for power and video. But seems it doesn’t get all the power is wants, and it works on a slightly dimmed mode.

Yeah, running KDE Neon Wayland and I think i didn’t have any issues. Well, other than the Surface not feeding enough power to be fully lit, so it was in a bit dimmed/power saving mode.

I have a touchless one. About 40 bucks in Taobao a couple years ago. It has mini HDMI input, or a USB C video in. There’s a second USB C labeled only for power. You can use the USBC to both send image and power, but seems it doesn’t take a lot of it this way, and its brightness is a bit dimmed, as if in power saving mode. Better to feed it with the additional usbc cable too. Image quality (1080p@60Hz) is decent but nothing special.

It includes some hidden speakers that, to my surprise, get rather loud without much distortion for how thin this thing is. There’s a wheel/button thingy that you use to control brightness, sharpness, volume and other settings.

Useful as second monitor for work when traveling with the laptop. Or for the steam deck. Or to have a desktop running from your phone.

Thanks. This worked perfectly!

Remmina…as a remote DE server? I thought it was a client only.

If you’re concerned about these kind of things, you might want to know about the GrapheneOS duress password. You set a second PIN, called duress PIN/password. If you’re ever forced to type a PIN, you can type this one instead of the real one. It will lock/wipe out the phone within a few seconds. There’s a few youtube videos showcasing this self-destruct mode.

Thanks! I mean, etesync also has a super basic web UI. I meant some sort of calendar/contacts web editing tool, like calendar.google.com or similar. I’ve just installed a docker image of Radicale, but all I can see is the webUI for adding/removing collections, nothing else…Etesync also has this. They also provide a webUI editor, but it’s a separate tool to install elsewhere, that requires another URL to be running. I’d like to have both server and a webUI to handle users, collections, and the individual items/calendars/contacts of the collections as well.

How…do you self-host both the server AND the web client? Do you need two different addresses? Can it be done on the same server/container?

I understand I can just run the the server, which has this tiny little add-user and permissions page, but I’d like to also be able to handle the contacts and calendar from the Web UI from a computer whenever needed. Of course I know I can plug any app to the server directly, but I’d like the web UI, too…Do you know how to do this? I’ve spent a couple of hours searching without much luck.

You might want to consider your next phone to be a pixel+grapheneOS.
