    I am thinking about setting up a local HTTP web server with something and HTTP proxy to share my VPN connection easily. But to be honest I am also kinda lazy. Ok, alot.
    Maybe NGINX for web server and Privoxy for the proxy server. Or tinyproxy. I don't know to be honest. When I'll have too much extra time at school I can look into that.

    Anyway, there's also ffmpeg. Pretty useful.
    And since you can run GUI in it, noaa-apt for decoding APT imagery from the last NOAA satellites still broadcasting APT at 137MHz. (NOAA-15, 18 and 19. NOAA-15 currently has broken AVHRR scan motor, but it's not the first time.)

    You could install YouTube revanced by running one command

    curl -sL "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/decipher3114/Revancify/main/install.sh" | bash

      Been awhile since I did that but it was really cool. An Xfce desktop from the phone onto my TV. Time to revisit that and play around some.

    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

    I ssh into my desktop and do a watch sensors while I'm gaming, sometimes. Then I can make sure temps are good without taking screen real estate with mangohud or similar.

        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.

      Termux does not need root but it would give you more freedom.

      And yes you can wget. Used it to download some files from termux
