Congratulations Oxide, it's inspirational to see curiosity, conviction and rigor pay off.

Not related to SSH, but does the eieio.games website make anyone else's monitor flicker? When the website is fullscreen it overwhelms something. I thought my monitor's backlight was going.

Do recommend the LG C series (C5 or C4 are new or the C1 series if you want a deal on classifieds - same hardware as the higher end models but needs a firmware bit flip). The OS is very rootable and it makes a great TV that doubles as a monitor. Supports free sync / g-sync. OLED is nice at this scale.

Text is very readable, refresh rate is good. It uses the same panels as the fancier G series in the larger sizes. One can root the firmware to make it go brighter. (Though this is screen works well in medium or dimly lit rooms. It does not shine in very bright rooms).

Plenty of YouTube videos singing the C series praises as a TV / Monitor.[1] LG webOS is also trivial/friendly to root in developer mode and network control of the tv is a nice to have.

Would avoid Samsung. I love the matte on the Frame and the design of the Serif but the OS is frustrating / impractical to root.

Awesome! Great job.

I read this as first QUIC CDN, and thought that can't be true. Dug a little deeper and learned that Media over QUIC is it's own thing. Looks pretty cool.

Don't worry, this will help us consume the new truth easier.
