With Termux on Android, it’s possible to install Debian in a proot environment.

More about this here: https://github.com/termux/proot-distro

I guess using this envirinment, it’s possible to set up your server to your needs.

One thing I don’t know is how to autostart Termux at boot, but there must be a way, “worst-case” a Tasker routine can do it. Also, another thing to considerate with this setup is Android’s memory management and to detect if your proot distro gets killed. But then again, maybe Tasker is good for that, too.

Good thing with this proot-distro thing is that it’s really easy and straightforward to set up, and basically you have a full Linux environment in your pocket. There are limitations, of course.

As for installing/flashing full Debian on an Android phone, let’s say it’s not possible. Your closest best bet would be Ubuntu Touch on a supported device.

In this case, this should be the only acceptable explanation.

Samsung’s stock Clock app has this function.

If I uderstand it correctly, this feature will be tied to build flags anyway, so server distros can have this turned off in their kernel.

Back then as a kid I always wondered that how the hell would Windows Commander/Total Commander’s Connection between two PC with USB cable feature work and what cable would it need… (never saw A to A cables at that point)

The help file was about some special cable, but the photo had an A-A cable on it with some extra circuits in a plastic casing near the connectors. I was amazed and sad at the same time, since I would never had such a cable, and I really wanted to try hook up two PCs with USB, that just sounded nasty for some reason 😅

it was common amongst digital cameras in the early 2000’s.

and maybe you could somehow link up two computers as well…? tho that could have been some specialized cables

30 from it is stackoverflow, 10 are github, and 2 e926 pages.

first Tenacious D, now this…

I often use magenta, pink, cyan and purple, too

my experience with it was also kind of a rollercoaster, but libreELEC on x64 harware with some basic IGPU was the key for me.

I tried it on Raspberry Pis (OG and 3) but that surely was painful.

since using a nornal PC, I really have no issues with compatibility, even the most obscure, sonewhat recently updated plugins work no problem.

but I can feel you, it needed several chances from me too, but I needed to replace my PS3 (uaing Movian - what an amazing piece of software!) cause it had issues with some recent fullhd files.

I second this, having a dedicated, 2013 era machine for Kodi is more than perfect. Most plugins are maintaned and updated regularly.

Visual Basic looks strange nowadays, huh…

Lua-Nil

I think it doesn’t matter nowadays. Network interfaces are smart enough to twist them internally, or at least, this is what I experienced. I have no idea when did I had to use specifically a crosswire cable, all of my ethernet cables are patch cables for a while now.

So, it shouldn’t be a problem.

I went straight from chaotic evil to lawful good.

the PS2 needed only just a Windows Network share (SMB). I guess the XBOX too should have an option for that, so I don’t see any problem with it

I had a really important role of my Pi 1 B+ for a long time; it was a network storage for my PlayStation 2 to play ISOs from the network with Free McBoot and Open PS2 Loader.

grabbed a big HDD, and old CD drive case and put everything inside. The Pi could be powered from the PS2s USB, hooked up a short network cable and it was ready to go.

Tho I still have that PS2, it’s not in use anymore, so neither the Pi.

reminds me (tho it’s inverse) old Visual Studio and how it liked to completely fuck up the solution to the point of being unable to fucking build the program.

it’s never too late

you should seek professional help then
