    Cowsay is a vital program. I’ve never understood why it isn’t installed by default in every distro.

    Compile llama.cpp, download a small GGML LLM model and you will have a quite intelligent assiatant running into your phone.

      Would that actually be decent? Even 6b models feel way too rudimentary after experiencing 33+b models and/or chatgpt. I haven’t tried those really scaled down and optimized models, though!

    Termux yeah. I use it everyday. So here is a (long) list

    • Use ffmpeg to convert videos or even edit it(with current 6.x version, mediacoded hwaccel is availiable)

    • yt-dlp

    • Use vim and emacs, maybe code something

    • Integrate it with other plugin apps like Termux:API(lots of system apis), Termux:Boot, Termux:Float(floating terminal), Termux:Widget, even Termux:X11 For running gui apps

    • You can run gui apps with other X servers like XSDL

    • Compile and run programs that is not availiable for arm(Worst thing, but i still does it. Much hassle and error prone, but fine for smaller programs)

    • Use ssh to connect to other devices

    • Install x11-repo and thus install xfce and firefox desktop(for fun)

    • Install proot-distro and use distros like debian, arch, ubuntu, manjaro, void, fedora, etc. which is cli only by default but you can install any DE.(You can combine display server from XSDL)

    • Use git, clone a repo, make changes, use it or push commit, whatever you do with git

    • Use your normal standard linux commands to browse thru your filesystem and make changes

    • neofetch, cpufetch, rxfetch, htop, gotop, cmatrix and hollywood for lolz

    • tmux, byobu or gnu screen

    • Tar, gzip and all coreutils

    • cryptomining(DON’T do that)

    • Test your webpage locally (php -S localhost:port)

    Ahem I wasted a lot of time making this list i think i have to go now lol

      I actually am currently trying to ssh into my main pc and hopefully in the future into my server i started to setup today but i am struggling with the use of keys. Got any good tutorials you can recommend?

        I found this from a search.

        I don’t usually use manual keys but uses password to connect to ssh servers. Like ssh -p port user@ip and it promts to trust it then you have to enter your password. I have barely set up ssh servers but have connected ssh servers many times

    Have it kill slack and zoom when their buggy ass resource leaking shit grinds your system to a halt.

      Luckily i never had to use them for school as my government recognized thier insecurities, and i prob won’t need to use them for my job as i am a mechanic (albeit for construction machinery)

    termux targets an extremely out of date sdk and is therefore quite insecure.

      It targets that because those old “insecure” SDKs allows people to use their system as something that isn’t a toy. Newer sdk versions refuse to run code that wasn’t included in the apk

        Mobile platforms like android and iOS (more specifically GrapheneOS), are leagues ahead of desktop operating systems in terms of security because of these strict policies. and besides, you are treating untrusted code as untrusted code. I don’t see the flaw in that logic.

        sure, they could use more apis for accessing system directories and stuff like that securely, but that’s not really in scope. this is for end users. not field deployment on an sbc for something.

      Im gonna be honest i really don’t care about that. There is no sensitive data on my phone except maybe social media logins and i have a recent backup so🤷

        that’s fair I suppose, I wasn’t saying not to use it, just that it is worth noting. these strict security policies are what makes mobile platforms much more secure than desktop platforms. I typically use my phone for security sensitive tasks because of this, so I tend to care a lot more about this stuff. if you have any banking info or password managers stored on the device, be careful.

        I’ll admit, it is pretty unlikely anything to happen, though. always just better knowing.
