I have been having a ton of fun messing with this, hooking up a dock and a kb/mouse, so funny using my phone this way. More of a party trick than actually useful, for me anyway. if one didn’t have laptops, i could see it being handy.

What have you guys been using termux for? The biggest value I saw from it was using ffmpeg on it, and ssh for fun. I can’t really figure out what other uses I may want it for. Backups maybe?

I’m not rooted, so I can’t do a lot on this crappy samsung, but it’s fun to play around.

    One fun thing I use it for is semi-automated photo/video backups to my storage servers: a grapheneos storage scope makes the media directory available to termux, and then I have a termux shortcut to run a shell script with a bunch of rsync jobs. Works far more reliably than the godawful nextcloud app, and it’s far more fun to watch.
