Ask HN: You ran into some money, what tech stuff are you buying?
I would get something off the hardware compatibility list for Asteroid OS (Linux for smart watches). https://asteroidos.org/. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago
Pixel watch ROM?
It's not Android, sadly. If you want a FOSS smart watch, check out https://asteroidos.org/. Source: about 1 year ago
Linux hardware rocks!
There is AsteroidOS and I think one more that I can't remember the name of. Source: about 1 year ago
Framework should make a smartwatch
I would love a smartwatch with the philosophy of Framework. A consumer-friendly, high quality watch that works out of the box, and has privacy and repairability in mind. OS wise AsteroidOS looks like it has potential, but all its currently supported watches are kinda old. Source: over 1 year ago
Fitbit
Asteroid OS though it seems like development has fallen off. Their page says they are still active. Source: over 1 year ago

How much can you get out of a $4 VPS?
I rented my first VPS 15 years ago and it was cheap. IIRC the VPS software was called Virtuozzo. Since I was using Java at work, it seemed a good idea to install a Java CMS: https://pebble.sourceforge.net/ But it was not so easy. Java refused to start with an out-of-memory error. It took me many hours to find out that the VPS had assigned very little memory at start. It was possible for the JVM to expand once... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
