Termux is surprisingly good

I've recently talked about youtube-dl and RIAA, and an offtopic that I was able to set up Termux shortcuts.

Termux is a terminal emulator app for android, that has its own repository that has programs that works well on Android. It is available on F-Droid and Google Play Store along with its other plugins. Note that if you download Termux from F-Droid, you can only download plugins from F-Droid. This is the same with Google's Play Store.

Using Termux alone is great, but adding plugins, like Termux:Boot, Termux:Widgets, and Termux:API expands a whole world of functionality for programs you are familiar with.

Some examples that I have tried:

  • Hosting a website using popular webhosting solutions. Apache, nginx, Lighttpd, PHP, MariaDB, etc.
  • Hosting an .onion service (I've hosted a test blog and an imageboard there before I permanently deleted it)
  • Occasionally grabbing items from my clipboard and writing it into my device's Internal Storage. (Termux:API and Termux:Widgets)
  • Using Termux to grab links from my clipboard, automatically download to my preferred format, write the file to my Internal Storage, and have a TTS engine announce the video I just downloaded, as well as sending a notification with the same content.

It's really versatile, despite some very miniscule limitations. You cann pretty much run any program as long as it's compatible with your phone's architecture.

CHUWI Hi10 XR - How to make it faster and cooler plus some fixes!

It doesn't smell nice anymore... Hi there, Chard here. About some days ago I bought myself a CHUWI Hi10 XR as a replacement to my HP Elitebook 8440p to aide me in my college years. After some intimate time with it, tinkering and touching its BIOS sensually, I have at least a bit of solid knowledge on how it works, why it works, and who it works. Maybe, maybe not. Look, I bought a device and committed a great sin of lust and greed over its functions. That's all. Also the guide might also work on CHUWI Hi10 X since they both are similar aside from CPU. Fixes and Warnings The fixes and important tech stuff comes first. Some people might go the wrong way and brick their devices if they tried to install something that wasn't meant to be. The fixes also range from common ones to some technical ones. Please perform a backup and tread carefully. You might brick the device. Do NOT use "Driver Booster" CHUWI themselves do not recommend using any driver update software such ...

Full Review of CHUWI Hi10 XR - 2 Weeks of Real World Usage

CHUWI Hi10 XR Hi there, Chards here. A couple of weeks ago I bought myself a CHUWI Hi10 XR as a portable x86 machine I can lug around and use for college. It has been at least 2 or 3 weeks since I started using it and now I have some insight on how helpful it was during my usage. I'm sure I can skip the usual intro, but that would be unhelpful if you want to verify that I really have the unit in my hand.   So, the need-to-know specifications of the computer: Intel Celeron N4120 @ 4 Cores 1.1GHz, with up to 2.5GHz Turbo Clock. Intel UHD 600 128GB eMMC 6GB RAM 1920x1200 10.1inch LCD Windows 10 ver. 1909 Build Quality Tablet It has a glass 10.1 inch screen, with bezels that are VERY helpful when I'm using it as a tablet. But just in case you're as...
