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.


I use it to SSH into my server and mess around, when I’m feeling too lazy to grab a laptop.
Same. I like to reboot my VPS an hour or before I use it to broadcast my radio show. 9/10 I forget to do it when I’m next to a computer, so I just SSH in from Termux. Works a treat.
Tell me about your radio show, sounds interesting
It’s called #ThePlaylist
Every week I pick a theme which the listeners use as a jumping-off point to suggest songs. Sometimes the links are obvious, sometimes they jump through incredible hoops to justify a song they love. But the music is always great, even if my links… aren’t.
Next week’s theme is ‘Other’
