@white_gecko@chaos.social guessed it already: It's a really cute hardware hack called the #deskhop.
Everything you need to know to build a #deskhop can be found in its repository.
The parts you'll need are easily found and the pcb can be manufactured using the provided files.
Or you could look for a complete set of parts on flohmarkt.
@me @white_gecko took me a minute to understand what's going on. This is genius.
