When this first came out I retrieved the list of stations (around 20k, I think it was just a JSON file), converted it to .m3u8, and I have since used it as a playlist for WinAmp. It's playing one of those streams right now, using 4MB of memory and practically no CPU.

Over the years, several streams (or the station themselves unfortunately) have gone offline. To refresh my list I'd have to scrape the "globe", and it doesn't feel like the right thing to do.

Has anyone encountered a similar website, but with a simple list of public streams?

The page "What does it take to take an old game apart? (Part 3)" mentions the 'restunts' project to reverse-engineer Stunts / 4d Sports Driving, and finding limited information about it.

There's actually a small group working on it, and more details here: https://forum.stunts.hu/index.php?board=90.0

Disclosure: I manage the forum where the discussion is happening, I'll need up my SEO if the author could not find it :P

I've tried several launchers in the past decades, across operating systems. On Windows I'm a happy Keypirinha user — it's fast, uses a twentieth of the memory needed by its C# relatives (Run, Flow, etc.), and results appear with almost no latency as I type.

Plenty of plug-ins (list here https://ue.spdns.de/packagecontrol/ ) and they are fairly easy to develop: a Python code that returns a catalog of results, statically or dynamically.

https://dreadnaut.altervista.org - I can't believe I've been writing on it for 20 years now. I duplicated all content in English and Italian for a few years, then stuck to Italian when I moved to the UK — need to keep the balance.

I'm also fond of the handful of short stories I managed to produce

And the books section has neat CSS-only shelves:
