This is quite an interesting work on really obscure hardware.

I was using i3wm and have migrated pretty recently. Rewriting the config was much less scarier than I initially hoped.

I agree. Reminds me of the days I moderated a discord server, where I coded a bot to end the spam waves. Lemmy API has the endpoints for moderation too, so maybe a similar approach could be used here?

I've seen the sole examples of the sim swap attack happening in US. Has it ever happened in other countries?

Assuming that I'm in a position where even fast food chains won't hire me (and believe me, these guys will hire anyone), beg for spare change; get enough to buy packed water and start selling it on public spots. This should get me enough to feed myself and save up a little. Sleep in parks. Use gyms to shower.

After I can reasonably do my hygiene too, try to apply jobs within my local range. Newspaper job listings could also help a lot here. There always exists some need for a job in somewhere after all. I'd be guaranteed a minimum wage (which is not a lot in my country), but definetly would let me afford rent and food. This is a satisfactory end for some people already, but to get bigger you can try to find work in smaller political parties next to get connections (sometimes people that rake in lot of money could have the dumbest political ideas); or save up to get a small motorbike to open up your job opportunities even further.

Consider how many devices will use it at the same time.

Only you? A pi is fine.

A few friends too? An old computer with a rough equivilent of i5-2300 with integrated graphics should do the trick. 4GB Ram will do fine.

A small group that'll use it constantly? Plug in a GPU that supports hardware encoding, (Some low-end cards like GT 1030 doesnt support this feature, check this properly.) , upgrade RAM a notch more, like 8GB.

You can scale it higher for more people via logic; you'll also know how much storage you'll need; but it'll be a lot if you want to satisfy a huge group of people.

If you dislike it that much, just create your own instance. No one's stopping you there.

Strailing could work well. A combination of streaming and sailing, as in sailing the high seas.

Another alternative could be Google Play gift cards from cheaper countries. You can buy Youtube Premium through it. Look up their currencies and search gift cards with that currency.

Mozilla has bad resource management, that's a fact.

However turning into a loan shark app business? I really don't think so. Unless another browser enters the market and takes off (which is extremely difficult given the tons of features browsers are built to support for all sorts of websites) Mozilla never has to worry that much about money since Google is their top funder; and Google's main reason to fund them is to not deal with all sorts of legal issues and fines they'll recieve for creating a monopoly.
