Show HN: Making a smart TV dumb and then smart

AI summary

A project named "R2D2 for webOS" aims to transform a smart TV, making it "dumb" and then "smart" again. The setup involves an aarch64 Linux host running a non-root service account (UID 1000), Chromium snap with its sandbox, Xvfb, PipeWire, WirePlumber, GStreamer, and FFmpeg with hardware HEVC encoding. It also utilizes a CUDA-capable GPU and Python 3.12 for local models (10 GB weights). The project code is MIT-licensed, while the browser extension, filter tooling, and two runtime adapters are GPL-3.0-or-later.
