I'm participating in the Old Computer Challenge this year, and this year I'll do something somewhat interesting:
on IRC I go by 'elagost'.
Unfortunately, this year I'll be away from home, and can't reasonably bring my old Pentium 2 laptop with me. When using postmarketOS on this machine, it's not possible to modify the cmdline from the boot screen, so I'll have to have a spare SD card with a working install, in case things go wrong with the parameters to limit resources.
There are a couple of things I'll have to figure out for console-only usage, like a dmenu replacement, gitlab cli, copying and pasting, etc. I might also end up setting up cgit, finally, and just throwing in the towel on using external git repos. Every git host has some pain points.
Lately I've been enjoying boot.dev, a browser-based coding and learning program. If I'm to take a break for a week, I'll have to put that on pause, which is unfortunate, but I'll survive.
We'll see how far I get, and how painful this all is. I've been wanting to try tty-only for a long time now, and this is just the inspiration I need.
