@SaltyIceteaMaker I think you can use bash scripts and combine that with termux-widget addon to do some amazing stuff. I wrote a script around ytfzf to search and download YouTube videos using termux-dialog addon.
I ssh into my desktop and do a watch sensors while I’m gaming, sometimes. Then I can make sure temps are good without taking screen real estate with mangohud or similar.
Would that actually be decent? Even 6b models feel way too rudimentary after experiencing 33+b models and/or chatgpt. I haven’t tried those really scaled down and optimized models, though!
They’re decent for text completion purposes, e.g. generating some corpspeak for an email, or generating some “wikipedia”-like text. You have to know how to write good prompts, don’t try to treat it like ChatGPT.
For example if i want to know about the history of Puerto Rico I would put:
“The history of puerto rico starts in about 480BC when”
lamacpp is kind of this. you give it a path to a model and a prompt. download a smallish model GGUF file by thebloke. lamacpp main exec has an interactive mode too which can function like a chatbot. i never built it on android though maybe you need android NDK
I’ll just add that www.weather.gov is better to use since it’s completely ad free and where almost all of the other weather websites pull their data from anyway (if you’re in the US, that is).
Definitely try running a full Linux distro with it, it’s pretty fun and a self-rewarding task, even if you don’t end up actually doing anything with it. But you may still find it useful in some ways, for instance, you could run a full fledged desktop Firefox with support for ALL addons, use it to inspect and debug web pages etc.
And if you feel like it you could take it a step further and install Zink and Box86 to play Windows games.
Just as a tip: you can run every Add-on on Firefox nightly. You can add your own add-on collection and select from that. You have to go into dev mode though. Yo do taht by tapping the Firefox logo in the about section like 5-10 times. You have to have a Firefox account though. Or you could use my fairly small add-on list:
It may be broken or not work on some APKs, getting it running on Termux is kinda weird, but you could then use a better output of APKSigner to read signatures and verify APKs on first install.
Apksigner on its own was pretty useless for me, thats why it uses a workaround. Apks are zips, so it renames the file, decompresses and reads some file where the signer is actually mentioned with Name and all. Then it deletes it.
Iirc there was some bug with Termux and the unpack thing, because Android sucks I guess. On Linux it works fine.
