TV Time Machine: A Raspberry Pi That Plays Random 90s TV

Growing up in the 90s, television was a different experience. You turned on the TV, and whatever was playing at that moment would become your entertainment.

You can use Raspberry Pi's imaging software, make sure to preconfigure it so it connects to the wifi and that you have your authentication details set (I made a user account called 'retro') Then take the SD card, plug it back into your computer (you might need a linux pc for this) and dump all your videos into a newly created 'video' folder in the root of your home directory. The pactl command was needed in my case to ensure the audio also outputs over hdmi, if you are using the headphone jack, just leave out this line, note that this might differ on other Raspberry Pi devices.
