    I have many doubts, I’ll try to quote each.

    I get 5fps in Termux on my older Snapdragon 860. Meanwhile my laptop’s Ryzen 3 3200U does 2fps.

    Is this good or bad for Termux? I’m kinda inclined to think it is good (I have a SD 865 so I’m extra curious).

    (e.g.: Jellyfin, NextCloud).

    I have read about the self hosting possibilities before for sure and while I will always find it amazing I would die inside if I had to use my phone (and specifically Termux, since I think text selection, copy/paste and overall typing is bad on it), that without proper hardware ofc (like external mouse and keyboard… Or a UI like DeX) so I gotta ask, do you use any of those services? If yes do you have some of those tools I just mentioned?

    RTL-SDR driver
    Allows connecting RTL-SDR on Android and starting RTL-TCP server.

    I kinda want to know what you meant here.

    SDR++
    The best general-purpose SDR app available on Android, GNU+Linux, Windows and MacOS.

    I only know SDR from the video format scene, and I know you want HDR or better.

    LibreTorrent
    Great client for Android.

    This is cool, and I didn’t know about it, but surely there are better options to use torrent on Android?

    There’s more, but those I don’t use daily, or have already been mentioned.

    I kinda want to know what more, because honestly, if Termux was paid you would almost sell it to me 🤣

      RTL-SDR is basically a way of using a digital device as a broadband radio. That is an oversimplification, but that is the idea. There are cheap USB devices out there that will turn a PC into a ham radio receiver (among a really wide range of other bands like weather satellites). I have no idea how they are doing it with Android, however. Maybe using the phone’s antenna.

            I appreciate that! & I totally understand. Unfortunately, they really cornered the market for quite a few niche little hobbies’ communities that used to be more filled out with independent and individual forums and sites before they took over. Such is life, eh?
