Finished! All the glyphs in the new Matrix code (see comments)
For Mac/Windows/Linux, I suggest trying whatever the top results are when searching for "mac website screensaver". I've built my own Mac screensaver that just shows websites (because I do a lot of silly web stuff), but it doesn't always build right in my experience, and I can't be bothered with notarizing it.

Turn PC into smart display when idle.
I remember that it is possible to set a webpage as a screensaver(https://github.com/cwc/web-page-screensaver). Then you could host a MagicMirror somewhere and display that page. There are many widgets etc. for MagicMirror
What are some alternatives?
