Termux is an Android terminal emulator and Linux environment app
If you do like the nix ecosystem (and all its benefits like reproducible envs) or just want to give it a try to a "NixOS" like thingy, you should absolutely try https://github.com/t184256/nix-on-droid. It's somewhat rough, but it's very nice and has nix flakes and home-manager support.

20 Years of Nix
I doubt your setup needed recompiling the Nix binary itself at any point. Even I did that more out of love of adventure than for any practical reasons, it’s just that the scars are still there.
And you know what, the evaluation time thing might just be a bug. Or at least I don’t see any other reason why (e.g.) `nix-shell -p yt-dlp` in my Nix-on-Droid[1] installation works reasonably fast but `nix shell nixpkgs#yt-dlp` takes minutes.

Racket/rhombus: "We're now officially in the "integration" phase for Rhombus."
No, but yes.
https://github.com/termux/termux-packages/blob/master/packag...
I just installed the package called `racket` from Termux's upstream, and it seems that they're using racket-minimal for that. But of a gotcha, but at least it doesn't seem like there's a bug.

Ask HN: Am I crazy or is Android development awful?

But Android 13+ supports rootless pKVM VMs, which podman-machine should be able to run containers in; but only APK-installed binaries are blessed with the necessary extended filesystem attributes to exec on Android 4.4+ with SELinux in enforcing mode.

> qemu + pKVM + podman-machine: https://github.com/containers/podman/discussions/17717 :
> The protected kernel-based virtual machine (pKVM) is built upon the Linux KVM hypervisor, which has been extended with the ability to restrict access to the payloads running in guest virtual machines marked ‘protected’ at the time of creation.
> KVM/arm64 supports different execution modes depending on the availability of certain CPU features, namely, the Virtualization Host Extensions (VHE) (ARMv8.1 and later).

Phone (not rooted) running Android 11 and Termux doing superuser/root operations on a USB flash drive connected to the phone, for example "cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/sda1" and "mkfs.ext4 /dev/mapper/v1" --> Update-6 through Update-8 and "Connecting a USB device to QEMU using termux, termux-usb, usbredirect" at https://github.com/termux/termux-packages/issues/19635 (see also Update-9, Update-10, Update-11).

PinePhone review after a month of daily driving
Yes. Even without enabling root, you can install Termux[1] and have a full Linux cli environment with ssh.
> don't understand not more people want to access their DCIM folder via sshfs
I agree. I sync my camera folder with Syncthing[1], so as soon as I take a photo it is available on my laptop.
