Since I'm running real Linux on my #Librem5 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 that sounds like it destroy your batterylife, especially considering you got one with a smaller battery
@blacklight447 It'll all depend on how much the services wake up and how many resources they use when idle, I suppose. This is also where front-end caches on another server come in.
@kyle the tor project is apparently working on making their "dormant mode" also work for hidden services, which could significantly improve battery life, so that might be something worth keeping an eye on
@blacklight447 I also like the idea of automatically spawning opportunistic services based on state (on home wifi, on untrusted wifi, etc.)
@kyle what should examples should i think off regarding this?
@blacklight447 Just off the top of my head: perhaps at home you'd spawn a file share to more easily sync files on the fast local network. Perhaps on untrusted wifi you disable any exposed services, and route everything through Tor automatically. Maybe at conferences you host a "where am I right now?" service w/ your friends.
@kyle ah, sounds pretty neat. Theres an android app that functions a little bit like this but it uses gps, when you move away from your home or work location, it turns off your wifi so other access points won't see you.
