Not yet, but we will get there.

I am working on a new DVM focused relay, that would be easy enough to ship to phones.. It would have to be seen how easy it would be to run such an energy hog in the background on some phones *COUGH -IOS- COUGH*
I see a future where old phones are used as servers, at home, connected to wall at all times. This is how we decentralize the infrastructure needed to run services.
Im curious, what OS, or basic services stack do you think they would run? I’ve tried more than one.. .with little success at stability or control similar to a pi……
Run it in temux within android.
I hate temux because devs become too lazy and don't develop an actual app for the normies.
Idk people will spend months making a UI with all the latest api calls and design paradigms to do something as simple as scp a file to another spot.
I'm a fan of it.
Regular Android. They are not going to be able to change the OS or install other things. It must be as easy as plug your old phone in, download an app and let it run.
Android does allow you to run background and foreground services of many kinds.
Ah you’re assuming they have an android here… Yeah tmux is a good idea… But if they have iOS its def not as straightforward to my knowledge … its the stupid simple things like — I’m not sure iOS has allowed INCOMING connections on factory install since the maybe the second version of them.
No one uses iOS outside the developed countries. Everybody has an Android lying around.
And yes, iOS will never allow you to do this.
