Apparently not a misspelled Fairphone, as I originally thought. I wouldn't mind an article about that battery.

No actually, it is a Fairphone after all.

Well, it is a misspelled Fairphone :) You can see in the picture of the phone that the (paint? sticker?) of the letter i has fallen off
Your answer lies on https://far.computer

In short, far phone is the phone which powers far computer which is in turn served from https://far.computer

Funny. I really thought it was a mistake :)

“Farphone” is a given name of a specific fairphone (android smartphone) that the author uses to run their web server.

The name likely comes from “fairphone” with the “i” scraped off - see the photo: https://far.computer/
