🗓️ 17 days after #Iran introduced an internet blackout to mask a deadly crackdown:

- minimal whitelisted service available to some users
- circumvention allows messages to get through
- brief connectivity spikes give false impression of wider restoration

The shutdown continues.

I sense a holiday project approaching: porting Lagrange to my newly-acquired Powkiddy RGB30 (that I adore).

In the pic is the Linux mobile variant already running, unmodified. Next I'll need to bind the gamepad controls to suitable UI actions, add a software keyboard and perhaps also a pointer to allow clicking on things on the page.

I find it extremely appealing that there is no window server running here, just a bare frame buffer.
