I've been following this guy a couple of years now (as well as many other mentioned in the comments like LowTechMagazine, Simplifier, OSE, etc)

I always liked the WiFi catenaric (instead of parabollic) reflector for it's simplicity,though I think drawing parabolas shouldn't be that difficult either to get a more directional reflector

In my experience, you then need to activate it using real data from real people. I lent my data to a colombian colleague a couple of years ago, as he did not have a DNI yet.

Something I read here on HN some time ago and that can be of your interest: you can get specific Atom feeds from Youtube channels (only long format videos, only shorts, only live streams, only popular, etc)

Of note: Plasma Bigscreen was sort of revived and rejuvenated last year by a Plasma Mobile dev

The 101things radio stuff is super cool too!

You can read it in the Medium frontend scribe.rip, to avoid some Medium shenanigans. I do think bolding stays the same though, it seems to have lots of bolding. Weird style.

No, it doesn’t. This isn’t a Medium gripe (which sucks but isn’t to blame for once).

Edit: this comment made sense before the post I replied to was edited to clarify that there is no material difference.

Hey, this sounds interesting! Is there any tutorial out there on how to make it work?

As the other commenters, I liked the concept. I did the map, and got quite a few repeated answers.

I then did the ransom one, but I did quite well until I got definitely bored around round 70. I think 100 rounds are too much, at least for the daily game.

Nate Johnson, one of the devs at LineageOS, maintains some official and unofficial builds. You could go from scratch using a Radxa SBC, or try to get an older streaming device (like one of the previous versions of the Chromecast). Some of these older devices even got Widevine DRM still working after installing LineageOS, if you want to use a streaming service.

Most of the hardware mentioned, like the 2021 edition of the Walmart Onn, isn't available for purchase anymore, so that's a rather limited list.

I think that a generic mini-PC would make more sense overall, but can Lineage be build for x86 at all?
