I’ve seen similar 19th century professional gambler kits (with cards and gun and accessories) and even a vampire hunter one with a stake and cross and the story seems generally to be they were put together to sell to rich rubes as novelty collectibles. In a “what exciting stories this evokes about the dangerous American west” sense. Of course now a curiosity in itself. But also likely a contemporary fake in a sense.

That glinet 3e will never get openwrt due to the chip used on it, I’m being told, which makes it a no go imo

It tickled my nostalgia enormously when I tried it, but it takes tens of minutes to initially index the amount of files that Auxio handles in tens of seconds on every start and then any time the app starts from a state of not being in memory, it still pisses away a minute of my time starting up doing ???

I’d love to use it for real, but it’s not practical. The click wheel emulation is adequate, surprisingly.
