crypto is useful too, without monero i wouldnt have hrt. place i live in is a shithole and doctors are highly restrictive and far too expensive
but monero is the best one in terms of privacy and it is unprofitable to mine it unless you have the latest and greatest green processor

heres a pretty good resource, bit of a tangent but i got a ton of shithouse computers with very low ram and i think alpine/postmarketos is the best choice. ive gotten kde, cosmic, and so on running on tons of terribly old computers with it, typically with no more than 1-2gb of ram. its also good for computers with only 256mb or so. after a certain point you need to just load your OS into ram entirely in order to have any ability to handle modern applications on very old hardware, in this case you should consider buying ram for your very old hardware (it comes cheap for the top compatible tech when its 90s hardware) if you like to use it as a sort of display piece for visitors to use. there are a couple of distros in that list that can handle being stored in ram. but obviously youre a bit different because you can just run it all on a vps. still probably best to go with alpine despite the operational differences

of the mainline fully featured modern desktop environments i feel cosmic de works the smoothest on old hardware, strangely enough.

whenever i have an issue with navigating to something, i contribute to it to make sure that navigation error would never happen again. fully recommend the process, its very satisfying to do, makes you feel like a conquistador mapping the hidden cenote in which resides mcdonalds

I use comaps, I feel like OSM isnt as good at cars as google maps, but it beats google maps easily in bikes and pedestrian traffic, like one time i plotted out a route where i could sit on a bench (which are shown on map) every 5 minutes or so on comaps. on trains its kind of a wash in comparison to google maps. the biggest issue is when you want to do a spur of the moment thing like 'eat at a nondescript restaurant closest to me', openstreetmap data here isnt great and the built in search engine for a nondescript restaurant isnt great, you cant write 'closest vietnamese restaurant' into the searchbar.

also one time i fell off a cliff and had no signal while hiking and comaps got me reoriented and on the right path in a no cell service area. if i used google maps it wouldnt have had the hikers trail i found on comaps either.

its when you kinda half ass it and make a bunch of bumble bees very happy by doing so, unfortunately america hates bees and biodiversity so they outlawed clover lawns in nearly every hoa despite it being the 1950s ideal lawn and requires basically no water or fertilizer to look great

Best open source "hdmi stick" computer ala chromecast that can receive remote presses?

yeah i might just load up one of my old phones and replace its default launcher via adb with https://github.com/LeanBitLab/LtvLauncher

maybe i can 3d print some sort of housing that makes the cable mess less of a nightmare, and i'd certainly need a usb hub of some kind to increase its compatibility with remotes.

kde's plasma bigscreen also piqued my interest but it just doesnt look as simple to set up on bad hardware

Sorry, all you get is a Ukraine that is in debt for the next 100 years as Euro-American megacorporations pillage the land and opportunists purchase its women and children for their own satisfaction. The men, of course, are sent into a neverending meatgrinder against whatever enemy we decide they should fight this week.

basically the issue with this method is i like to travel light and I use my other devices for other things e.g. work, kvm switches, etc which all require their own setup and unplugging and replugging and interrupting my SO's tv isnt great. ive used a usb-c to hdmi cord to get things going via my phone but this whole idea is cumbersome whereas an hdmi stick and remote is a very elegant and compact solution.
