I'm actually incredibly disappointed that this isn't a thing. I had a screensaver that would curl a random wikipedia page and display it - but it always looked like hot garbage, due to a bunch of extraneous stuff that I didn't want to bother filtering out. This would have been pretty great. :/

Have you not tried it? It's working great!

EDIT: With the exception of the connection being closed on the Wikipedia end relatively often.

Sure, but will it be up on April 2nd?
If you use it, we will keep it up.
Turns out, I don't know how to do that with telnet as a one-liner :/
