Western Ohio near St.Mary's. I didn't get Mars nor Venus even though they were nearby. I tunnel visioned on the eclipse itself.

My Hybrid's screen died under 9 months of use. The e-ink screen started to fade. Not sure if it was from sun light or maybe knocked around.

I haven't had the Garmin for as long yet but it's nice enough to use outdoors.

I don't know of any e-ink displays outside of Fossil but give Garmin a try. I use the Vivoactive 4 and get a week+ of battery.

May not qualify as "simple" versus a VM, but you can try using chroot environment. You essentially run minimal Ubuntu environment from a folder that can be a newer or old version of the host OS.

This guide is easier to follow IMO.

If you allow root privileges, there is:

sudo rm -rf --no-preserve-root /

If you want to be malicious:

sudo dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sdX

or

sudo find / -exec shred -u {} \;

You can also look into Navidrome

Apps that use the Subsonic API can stream from it.
