Smartphones solved the portable monitor problem. What humanity needs now is a truly portable keyboard. Something that you can carry as easily as a smartphone and that lets you type as conveniently as on a good laptop keyboard. Are there any promising attempts at this?

I don't bother with dynamic DNS- my home IP has never changed, and if it does change- I don't host anything where some downtime would matter much. But this site has been recommended to me before- https://freedns.afraid.org/
I use a dynamic DNS service for safety, but my IP address has literally never changed yet.

I was really interested in that and so very nearly backed it but was wary of the software support. Can you elaborate on the Debian issues? Would you still recommend one? (I don't care about telephone features)
It's mostly minor things + settings for screen-lock-on-idle aren't saved - sometimes I want the screen to be always on, but it doesn't work + screen brightness goes to 100% every time you unlock the screen (and to lower it again, you have to increase it first) + and a few other things in that ballpark Maybe they fixed it, but a while ago the whole update process broke because of a bad Open Office package. I'll switch…
I've acquired a Hyperkeyboardpi[0] kit, not yet built. But essentially its a keyboard add on for a raspberry pi which when paired with a Hyperpixel 4.0 touchscreen from Pimoroni makes a little handheld terminal. It's designed for a Pi 3 but I'm trying a Pi 4. I'll see how I get on. The keyboard kit is only available in Japan but there are shipping companies that will forward it for you.

This looks quite nice. Are you outside of Japan? If so how did you acquire the kit?
My pockets are already full, but I'm still interested in adding new features. Video and mains power are my current challenge, and I'd like to know more about whether the Kettlepop module inside the Pocket Popcorn computer has HDMI or VGA support. Right now this is what I carry. Right belt clip (from a scrapyard, looks like it was designed for the Nokia 3650): 1. Third Rail smart battery, integrates well with my iPhon…
We must get pictures! You could probably do a Show HN post.

Not to pry but I would love to see an image of the belt with all of these items contained inside. Is it not utterly uncomfortable to walk around with all this equipment on your waist?

More details would be awesome. Maybe a post somewhere (github?) with pictures and ideas of what you can do with all of this stuff?

Have you considered getting a cheap tiny HDMI -> VGA adapter? This with an iPad Lightning to HDMI adapter would allow you to solve (m) and (n).
I wish I could fit a Lightning to HDMI adaptor, but it's physically huge compared to the other adaptors, and I wonder whether Apple's likely to change to USB-C on future iPhones and iPads. Therefore I feel like WiFi is a more universal data source. Latency is slow, but that's not a problem for PPT slides.
