So crazy I run into this now, cause I seen somebody on flounder made a post about using a PSP to use HTTP proxies for gemini/gopher (since the PSP has no TLS support)


THING IS, after i read that, it prompted me to LOOK into this: Turns out somebody, i think a couple years back or so, had actually gone ahead and gone through the effort of modding their *own* PSP with TLS 1.2 support. Neat idea?

Definitely, PSP is a very neat one!

I once tried to hack a kindle to repurpose it as an online web-pulled/dashboard type thing. The problem was, the kernel that Amazon used was very very old and I couldn't get any modern version gnu-tls to build on it without going through dependency hell. A surprisingly large number of websites that refuse pure http requests these days.
