@zachdecook @proycon Ooh, I need that on my Pinephone!
Are there any battery powered WiFi AP portable hard drives with just an HTTP/FTP file server and a lite Linux OS? Or instructions to build one? #linux #wirelessserver

@WPalant Ah, that's true. I do know alot of normal people who want more control though. And literally every wifi router has a web server in it (that's how you configure it).

@WPalant I don't know. How many people have a Wifi router that has a file/print server built in? Many have DDNS and VPN servers, too. A simple wizard letting people turn on the server features they want is pretty great! Getting OpenVPN working on my latest router was crazy easy like that.

@martijnbraam @postmarketOS Cool! The "Pocket PCs" of 21 years ago were great. I think that should have been the generic term for smartphones instead of "smartphones".
