This one…

Awesome glad to hear it worked out for you!!

Right, same with my instance. I didn’t mean to mention the user, but guess it doesn’t matter since we’re not federated with that instance. The link for the user I had put was https://lemmit.online/u/bot, I think our clients are rewriting the links to view via our instances, but opening that link in a browser will show all the posts.

Lemmit Bot copies Reddit posts from subreddits and posts them to communities on lemmit.online. Lots of instances promptly banned the instance outright in favor to having natural content on Lemmy rather than interacting with a mirror of Reddit.

If you’re counting bot accounts, probably Lemmit.Online bot: 4.82M Posts

Yeah, I’m unfamiliar with the state of doing encoding with a pi, I have seen that newer models have a dedicated encoder chip for h.264 but I’ve personally never used it. Even with the first model of the raspberry pi, it included a hardware decoder, and was able to run as a media player hooked up to HDMI. I’m assuming OP wants something like that, just a media player for the CRT, and not a full fledged media server which can power everything.

Imagine if the CRT filter on an actual CRT turns it into HD

This was actually new to me that the recent models have it, I haven’t tried the instructions from this blog, but it seems about right. I only used the original Pi and gave some life to spare CRT TVs like 10 years ago.

You could do something pretty cost efficiently with a Raspberry Pi that has composite video out: https://www.blakecarpenter.dev/using-a-raspberry-pi-with-a-crt-television/
