2025-09-20

Missing the spontaneity of 90s TV? This project recreates that experience using a Raspberry Pi. The author loaded classic 90s shows (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Star Trek: The Next Generation, etc.) onto a Raspberry Pi and wrote a script to play them randomly on boot. The guide details the process: installing Raspberry Pi OS Lite, VLC, creating a script to shuffle and play videos, and setting up a systemd service for auto-start. It's a nostalgic tech project showcasing the Raspberry Pi's versatility.
