With the Termux + PyPi repositories you can do basically the same as you would do in a normal Linux terminal and it's great.
I'm not a fan of having many apps on my phone and with Termux I can have yt-dlp, ffmpeg and even magick to do almost anything I want, it's just great and I don't know how Termux is not more popular, I hope more people will find sense in it and use it too if they see a use for it.
I think the same, I doubt that Termux will ever replace the comfort of a terminal on a laptop or desktop PC, but for certain occasions it is very useful, like avoiding downloading full apps when I can install only one package that does the same thing, in the case of yt-dlp.
I use it to download stuff using yt-dlp on the go with predefined output settings. I'll share my setup soon, it generates a notification with the file preview when downloading, and update the notification when the download is completed.
Yup, it does. Not really a problem on my end, as I redirect port 53 in LAN and use DoH outside, but I still find it an odd choice not to rely on system DNS.
I have been wondering if it's feasible to run a local https under termux and access it with the phone browser as a low rent alternative to writing an android app with a simple GUI. Does anyone do that?
I've run http servers from my phone to copy files from it. For fun I made CSS for the file list and added an "upload file" button. I never got the php max upload size setting to take effect though. And I never bothered with that cert crap. But you CAN run web servers. I found the php web server worked best.
When I wanted to install Revanced extended on my Samsung a70, there were the easy way (which didn't involve Termux) and the kinda hard way (which involved Termux). I'm not an Android expert but I thought I would be able to follow a well-written process. So I chose the kinda hard way. It went well. I appreciated Termux.
Main hassle for me is the special on screen keyboard plus the limited screen space. I may try a Bluetooth keyboard sometime. Also I'm a bit reluctant to have my servers' ssh credentials on my phone, but I have some thoughts about securing them.
That might be worth thinking about. I'd have to configure my mom's firewall to allow it but that might be ok. It's some stupid Comcast router so I'll have to investigate. Thanks.
And? It's worth the try since it's available as a Python package.
It seems so far it's just the preferences windows that's broken, but I don't have any experience with GNS3.
