Termux:Styling (version 0.30): Customize your Termux terminal

termux: terminal.

On Android, I run servers under Termux, e.g., DNS and HTTPS proxy.

Another use is checking email without using a browser or an app. I use a tiny shell script to check for new mail with openssl. It prints out the messages to the terminal as plain text. Termux has good scrolling so its easy enough to read. This allows me to keep email out of the browser and email messages off the phone, generally.

Available from F-Droid.

I believe Termux is still quite popular among some HN readers. I noticed someone submitted Termux-GUI plugin just the other day https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33011500

Also: Whilst it's not the same as native Linux directly available, and the many, many limitations and frustrations of Android still apply, Termux can be installed on the BOOX (via F-Droid), and provides excellent capabilities.

Over 2,200 packages now.

You could simply use your mobile phone's internet connection for external analysis. Hotspot, tether, or, if you have an Android device, just install Termux, which will give you access to many of the common network

Use termux app, it’s a terminal emulator where you can install node and stuff. I’ve done it before. https://termux.com

Termux is a linux terminal for your android. It also includes a package manager using which you can install many packages including ruby. The first step is to download and install termux. Do not download from play store. The play store version is pretty outdated. Get it from FDroid or github

I've had great success with using Joplin for this, with Syncthing as a sync backend. Works well across OSes; I use it on Linux, macOS, Windows and Android.

The tools to manipulate SQL aren't that bad, no.

But rather than having a self explanatory markdown & flat file, now I have to start learning about the schema & making specific tools (in my preferred language) for manipulating Joplin's schema.

Suddenly I'm digging through 20 different technic specs to decode what data is where, how it works, and what I can do to it. Want to edit history? This is the best help you'll get, pray it's adequately technical to expedite you to your purpose: https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/blob/dev/readme/dev/spec...

As I began with, I struggle to imagine anything that generates anywhere near as much user agency as flat files and markdown. Having boring common data & systems lets me apply portable skills I already have, rather than having to skill up in some particular product's own ecosystem.

Joplin is a good open source option too, feels more like the original Evernote in terms of UI/UX https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/

Joplin, an open source, extendable, Markdown-based hierarchical note-taking app: https://joplinapp.org/

It lets you choose a synchronization backend, offers applications for every major desktop and mobile OS (also has a terminal version). You can create notebooks and subnotebooks to organize your notes. You can also add tags for better search experience. I created notebooks for specific domains (work-related, home improvement, etc.) and also keep a "temp" for quick notes and W.I.P. snippets.

Its only con that it uses Electron on desktop which causes relatively slow start of the application.
