Does anyone know if there is a 32-bit version of the Telescope client or if there is a way to compile it with that compatibility?

@leoperbo Telescope is written in C and depends on libtls (LibreSSL / libretls). Not sure if there are 32-bit builds of libtls available but if that's the case, it might be possible to compile it.

32 bit user here, it works fine under Hyperbola GNU/Linux. So does Cgmnlm.

This is a hopeful message!
Considering its few dependencies, I think I might be able to build a static binary for x86 that works on any Linux distribution. I will give it a try ASAP.
I was able to set up a static binary for Telescope that should work on any Linux distribution, and it should be possible to build it for x86.
However, ncurses installs a terminal database that should be embedded into the binary for maximum portability. To achieve this, I am preparing a portable library that allows to redirect standard file operations to in-memory buffers.
I wrote an article on my capsule with download links to x86 and amd64 static binaries for Telescope, and an explanation of how they were built:
