Firefox for uploads. Both Opera and Firefox on Android just fail with uploads. Opera dies with locked screen, Firefox slows down to almost nothing, and dies if I do anything else.
Running desktop version of Firefox in Termux works pretty well, and pushing a 50GB file overnight will just work.
Same goes for downloading, but I prefer wget in that case, no need for GUI.
Another way, but that wasn’t the case here, I also have NGINX, Kiwix server, HTTP proxy server, and Navidrome server in there. There’s also cloudflared available in the repos to make that public. Or just stick to IPv6, except that’s not supported by my carrier yet. Or for personal use, Tailscale works pretty well, and it’s definitely far safer than making something public, if I am on a different network for some reason that is.
I still haven’t updated from NGINX 1.26.0. I didn’t see any vulnerabilities that would affect me yet, but anyway.
And of course VNC for GUI, and also I found rsync over SSH is far faster than KDE Connect.
Again, none of that over Termux this time, but I did use that to stream music on school computers from my phone in the past.
If Google does block “unverified” APKs I’ll be screwed. Time to try PostmarketOS I guess.
To get some idea of data sizes of phone-hosted stuff:
Mirrored websites (using wget) - 7.5GB
Videos (electronics, USCSB safety videos, The computer chronicles) - 20.58GB
Music - 34.34GB
Kiwix (Wikipedia, Wiktionary, Arch Wiki, etc…) - 111.42GB
In the past I also had DVD ISO copies streamable via VLC from HTTP at 110GB, but it didn’t quite fit anymore.
