  1. packages

    Community maintained packages for OpenWrt. Documentation for submitting pull requests is in CONTRIBUTING.md (by openwrt)

    Project mention: Turn your OpenWrt router into a quorum device for Proxmox VE cluster | dev.to | 2026-05-01

    The original aarch64 project had set OS_ARCH=aarch64 with USE_64=1, which was non-standard, the OpenWrt official NSS Makefile uses OS_ARCH=Linux and OS_TEST=$(ARCH) instead. The aarch64 build likely worked despite the non-standard OS_ARCH value due to other variables compensating, but that approach couldn't be carried over to mipsel.

  3. LibreELEC.tv

    Just enough OS for KODI

    Project mention: 216M Spy TVs – The LG Smart TV Problem [video] | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-09-08

    At first I thought about something like https://libreelec.tv/ but Kodi instead of the much more powerful mpv is not an option.

    So probably a custom lightweight distro with mpv and a game controller to navigate some file explorer ?

    Or just control it via ssh because that's actually simpler for me.
