No idea how to code browser-extensions. Is it hard?
I don't know, but I think firefox extensions are somewhat standardized.
yandex search bar Are you sure that this doesn't exist already?
Actually JUST found out that either the firefox team or the waterfox team added yandex as a default search option. It wasn't there before.
Naturally this made me scared yandex had been compromised, but it still shows poal instead of the "port of auckland".
I thought that's what citizens are for. (links)
Feels like I'm the only one doing it.
You mean something like the murdoch murdoch part of out site?
Yes but it needs to be something we can plug our grandmother's (((TV))) screen into so the NPCs watch Red Ice etc. all day instead of Marxist crap.

Well, one thing I've learned over and over again is, that people are unreliable if unreliability isn't punished... You'd be amazed how much people can ignore even their own best interests out of sheer lazyness and stupidity, if nobody forces them.

I once thought about making a ReichsPi, which you can put in your TV and it shows nazi propaganda which it gets from the internet. But I didn't know much about how to do something like this outside of a webbrowser. Now I'm playing around with the suckless tools, especially DWM, which probably could be helpful... Just autologin, and start some program which displays available media. This program could be a webbrowser which pulls from a backend...
However, I'd see problems with the integration when the program is about to pull media from external sources. It would be easier, when the stuff were hosted on some server one owns instead of youtube/bitchute, where filenames often change...
This could probably be done with something like youtube-dl, but even then all youtube would have to do to block the program would be to block youtube-dl by changing its interface. Plus, youtube is heavy in JS-requirements, so they basically take over half the site if one links to them. But it's probably possible to cancel their autoplay and such...

As long as the device sends a screen signal to a HDMI/VGA out cable it should work. Wouldn't be a problem if it was web browser inside.
I could support such a project with 1-2K I think.
Maybe add some "channels" that show based anime and it would be a pretty good product.

Fuck youtube that would break quickly. I don't see the problem with bitchute though, it seems stable?
You would want the device to connect to a server we control though which then links the desired content.
Some further ideas on this:
- HTML webapp on the device which can be updated if things break.
- Webapp allows changing the server IP or adding more than one.
- Both 1 and 2 would require a ECDSA signature from a public key we have. (Ie. a signature for the change to take effect, user could freely enter IPs)
The problem would be, that showing anime and stuff would result in legal trouble. Copyrights and such. So serving videos would be an illegal project... So servers would be taken down, and do cost money, while there would ne no source of income to make up for the running costs...
Other than that, I don't see many problems.The easiest way to implement this would be a simple HTML file with some JS, which polls some server API for links and descriptions.
However, I'm still not too confident in external links. But I didn't look into it, so I might be wrong. It might be possible to serve content by serving a description of how to get some content via the API, which woud then be saved to the PI for later viewing. Something like this would make it more like a TV, with content ready to be watched on the device, which will be replaced over time.
I'd have to find out how to use remote controls with a RasPi. I think it's somehow possible...
