PINE64 Calls Time on the Linux Hardware Market, Ceases Production Until the AI Bubble Bursts Sky-high component prices have killed off PINE64's single-board computers, phones, and tablets, but the microcontroller lines remain intact.

I am doing the same! I have been jailbreaking PS4 for few years and Modded Warfare is where I learned about the LG TV jailbreak

It's totally possible! Check it at https://cani.rootmy.tv/. There are multiple exploits, search around

It's a modest ARM CPU, I wouldn't rely on it for a router but it can run Rpi Hole! Also Home Assistant integration, I use the TV remote to control LEDs/lights around the apartment

I feel you, that's exactly why I was using only monitors before! I got convinced to go for this as an acceptable compromise with much more control than some proprietary backend.

What I didn't mention is that I specifically looked for older TV on the second hand market to find a hackable model.

I mean, I didn't wanted to buy a brand new one anyway, it's very expensive and I don't need latest AI features. I found a year old model with firmware that was listed as supported by the jailbreak at the time

For a hacker news article, it misses the crucial option - hacking a smart TV! I have LG OLED jailbroken using rootmy.tv, it was pretty trivial. It's basically a linux computer with a huge screen, you can customize it, SSH into it, map any commands to the remote, etc.

Before I only used monitor, simple DP/HDMI input is all I wanted. But being able to take full control of the tv and connect it with other devices in the house I would normally get Rpi for is pretty convenient!

Crowdloaning can be more efficient and trustless than crowdfuding

Protocol Fellowship invites everyone interested in Ethereum core development. An opportunity to contribute to FOSS distributed systems and work directly with core devs/researchers of biggest decentralized blockchain platform

It's not actually pruning, the full node is really around 1TB. That 18TB number comes from old naive design for an archive node. Archive is basically cached state after each historical block. The 1.1tb full node can generate all this data by executing blocks and the current generation of archive nodes can store it around 3TB instead of 18TB.

Interesting, I am doing exactly the same thing with GrapheneOS and never had a problem. If you have a Pixel, I would strongly recommend to consider Graphene a degoogling it. You can also install via Fdroid or Obtainium and I don't see how their apps could be supported in Google Play

Devs of Bitcoin wallet enabling anonymous payments, Samourai, were arrested because their software was presumably used for money laundering.

Do you have any insight into crypto ecosystem or just troll here? First of all, zcash is focused on private payments and Tor helps its users to stay anonymous while using third party wallets, etc. It's their dependency and relevant privacy project so they decide to support it. But this is nothing new, crypto ecosystem has been contributing to Tor for a decade, starting in Silk Road era. Many privacy related project have anon contributors only funded in crypto. It's literally FOSS native payment method.

These days, public goods funding of free and open software is one of the most active areas in crypto scene. They activate individual donors and organizations/DAOs to donate towards impactful non-profit projects. Quadratic funding platforms like Gitcoin are used to funnel millions of dollars to FOSS.

Store of value is a narrative which became dominant in the libertarian fueled Bitcoin community. There is so much more happening: - Anonymous and bordeless payments, digital cash, the whole point of Bitcoin in the first place - DeFi, basically fully FOSS, permissionless trustless financial system where people can take loans, get interest on savings, trade, etc - Identity, being able to verify reputation and decentralized naming like ENS - Space for artists and pseudo-artists to serve a niche but sizable clientele of NFT buyers - Funding public goods, regenerative finance employed by crypto communities is probably the best way of funding FOSS I have seen - DAOs and coordination mechanisms for decentralized communities ...

Great point, they are ridiculous

Nice to meet a fellow Protocol Berg enjoyer in HN!
