Since I'm running real Linux on my phone, I'm having thoughts like: should I host NextCloud from it? Maybe a Tor hidden service? OnionShare? My phone *is* always on after all, hosting personal services (optionally w/ a front-end cache on my regular server) might make sense...

@kyle seems you like your new phone. Thanks for sharing your first impressions.
Why would you want to host nextcloud on it? Also, considering the additional power consumption.

@don There's some "because I can" involved, but also I like the idea of hosting personal services on my personal computer since it's always on and online. With a stable front-end server acting as a cache, it could be a pretty powerful combination for private services fully under your control.

@kyle @don That is a very interesting idea. I could understand wanting your phone to be a nextcloud node, but I'm not sure it is a good idea to keep all of your data on your phone, no matter how secure. SSH is in the bag. But I'm really interesting in seeing some VNC capabilities. Those two make one computing device possible for me.
