The possibilities with an open phone are awesome.
- boring_twenties 6y agoI don't think you need an open for this, you could just install nginx under Termux, or even not under it.
- sschueller 6y agoYou do as Google is breaking termux in the next Android.
- mathfailure 6y agoYour link doesn't work.
- fanatic2pope 6y agohttps://github.com/termux/termux-app/issues/1072 https://github.com/termux/termux-app/issues/1072
- boring_twenties 6y agoAh, crap
- pjmlp 6y agoOn the contrary, the termux folks refuse to adopt solutions that would make it work how Android applications are supposed to be written in first place. Use Java framework and NDK APIs instead of pretending Android is Linux with another UI shell.
- boring_twenties 6y agoLuckily (lol) my phone is never going to get that update.
- AsyncAwait 6y agoWe need open computing in as many segments as possible with major corporations embrancing the AppStore model and deciding increasingly directly what you can't and cannot do with your own devices, often in the name of "security". The ability to run the exact same OS on my phone as I do on my laptop with a nice, mobile friendly UI while retaining all the power is a remarkable achievement for the free software community.
- abawany 6y agoPlus with their announced usb-c hub, it seems that one could connect to a screen+keyboard+mouse and work on things for a bit if one forgot the laptop.
- Shared404 6y agoThat's what I look forward to most.
- officeplant 6y agoI do this via DeX mode on my Samsung S10e, but linux for DeX was killed off unfortunately. I really wish convergence via a linux phone had made more progress by now considering how close it felt back in 2010. Still excited at the progress devs have made so far with the pinephone.
- pjmlp 6y agoNokia was doing it already with Symbian, big deal.
