They even have Android app. I mean, a server app.
Anyway, they still seem to paywall some things.

You don’t even need to fuck around with Debian chroot/proot. Termux also has an X11 repo. I run XFCE in it, works well. There’s less programs available though, but Firefox is there.

I just use some browser called Element Inspector from Play Store, but it was last updated in 2023, and is closed source.

The about app points to: https://linkbox.su/r/mixno35 which either returns 500 or 504 errors.

Alternatively, you could try desktop Firefox under Termux, but that is probably not the most elegant solution. But it’s a good solution for large background uploads it seems.

Forcing it into recovery -> Power Off -> Booting up normally again

This freed up 8MB from somewhere, otherwise, I guess I’d have to do a hard reset.

Yup.

Just in case: If your storage is completely full all of a sudden, check /var/log/nginx if you haven’t pointed the logs elsewhere.

I know I was pretty confused to find my storage absolutely full, then I found the multi-GB error.log file. When a network interface it was listening on disappeared it filled with errors as such:

2024/12/10 07:57:06 [alert] 20420#20420: accept4() failed (22: Invalid argument)
2024/12/10 07:57:06 [alert] 20420#20420: accept4() failed (22: Invalid argument)
2024/12/10 07:57:06 [alert] 20420#20420: accept4() failed (22: Invalid argument)
2024/12/10 07:57:06 [alert] 20420#20420: accept4() failed (22: Invalid argument)
2024/12/10 07:57:06 [alert] 20420#20420: accept4() failed (22: Invalid argument)
2024/12/10 07:57:06 [alert] 20420#20420: accept4() failed (22: Invalid argument)

(I just reproduced that now on-demand, thus the date.)

There’s a tool called logrotate to take care of logs, but I just did the stupid and lazy thing…

error_log /dev/null;

Well, in case you get the idea to run NGINX in Termux, and then later you find your phone hot, stuck in a bootloop, it’s possible the error.log filled the storage causing Android to crash because it now can’t even write system files.
Not that I would have done such thing…

Maybe they referred to the Rust version.

NileRed? Is that you?

There’s already some good answers here, just wanted to share my “solution”

I had a similar problem where I wanted some specific device to not have internet connection but still be on LAN. My lazy ass solution was to manually set the network settings with default gateway set to 0.0.0.0. With IPv6 it would be [::].

But this is not meant to be an advice. You may not even be able to manually set network settings on some of those IoT devices, and removing default gateway from DHCP server is not exactly an elegant solution. Perhaps you could set it to serve different settings based on MAC, but then the other solutions are perhaps simpler and better in some other way.
As I said, this is not an advice.

I don’t have a use for them

Not having a use for extra storage. Wow.
Anyway: !datahoarder@lemmy.ml

I will keep the magnets if I ever get into this in the future, but not the platters. I’ll just safely destroy them and dispose of them.

So far I only had 3 laptops and no desktops. I had 0 HDD failures, since I only ever had 3 of them so far.
The oldest one is more than 17 years old 80GB 2.5" Fujitsu HDD.

Realistically, how much bandwidth does Lemmy need if pict-rs is disabled, if you tested that?
I am thinking of something a bit crazy if freenom shows up working again. Since my only internet connection is mobile data, I am thinking about the possibility of hosting Lemmy in Termux and using a Cloudflare tunnel. The biggest problem is probably bandwidth. It varies between 0.02-6Mbps, hanging around 1Mbps for most of the day.

But I am not sure if Lemmy could even run in Termux in the first place.
Probably a stupid idea regardless.

You could just disable pict-rs, I believe.

Are you sure he’s using 255.255.255.0 network mask though?

Just set it to “do nothing” when lid is closed. That’s all.
