Play a clone of Tetris
Tetris has suggested efficacy in attenuating development or severity of trauma and it seems to have a beneficial ongoing cognitive effect also.
Don’t get Tetris™️, get a good paid version that lets you buy it and doesn’t show ads or track you after buying.
I assume this is pretty basic for people on Lemmy, where you can’t throw a rock without hitting a couple of programmers and Linux nerds, but I always feel so cool using Termux to SSH into my laptop that I use to self-host a couple of things. Makes me feel like a 1337hax0r person.
I’ve been doing that sort of thing for about 20 years and I still feel that way
Can confirm, did that within the last hour. Not the laptop, but a school server
I use ConnectBot I’ve had it installed for ages and ages.
I went with Shelly. Worth it!
You make me wonder why I even bother with SSH apps when I do have Termux…
I suppose you can use aliases with Termux too?
That is what I use in my Mac/Linux environment to quick access stuff.
I suppose you can use aliases with Termux too?
Yup!
PhyPhox app. Let’s you access every physical sensor your android device SoC has access to (at least for most major manufacturers). Especially on high end phones, they include a huge array of sensors from accelerometers to magnetometers to high accuracy air pressure barometers. Plus it includes a lot of processed sensor outputs, like rudimentary range finding sonar, audio frequency spectrums, etc… And it’s free!
Thanks for the awesome suggestion mate
A lot of the base sensor values can also be accessed in debug mode - albeit without much of a UI, but it works in a pinch.
This looks amazing for the pointless tinkering I love!
As a flight computer/logger when paramotoring. Shout out !paramotor@lemmy.world 😊
Here’s a screenshot of flight playback from this evening!
Neat
You ever use gaggle or ppgps?
I haven’t, PPGS seems a bit outdated and bit too power user y for me though.
I’m also wary of how cloud connected Gaggle is.
PPG Flyer is just my style. Simple and no backend data collection :)
What do you use?
We all fly with gaggle. Shows everyone’s real-time location and my wife can keep track of where I’m at throughout my flight.
I like JustWatch because it lets you search all your streaming services at once. If you set up a (free) account, you can limit it to just the streaming services you have personally. Handy as hell.
Or get gameboy. No tracking at all
I find it cumbersome to ensure they stay charged. I already have to manage that with my phone and this way I can use it whenever the occasion arises. It does feel nicer tactile-wise tho with a gameboy
Edit: have a DS
MyBoy is a good GameBoy emulator, best of both worlds.
If you want the best of all three worlds, Lemuroid is an emulator based on Libretro, it can emulate a ton of different platforms including Gameboy. It’s free & open-source, unlike MyBoy.
have a DS
Then you have everything, even the good battery life to don’t make this an issue at all.
(I’m very biased for this handheld, which I use even more than my Switch and PS4).
I use the desktop mode of my phone when I want to multitask my laziness in multiple windows simultaneously. I can YouTube using vanced, scroll through Lemmy and read manga.

I’ve been playing around with Super Image more and more. Recently I used it to upscale some Ghibli stills so I could use them as wallpapers. It’s so neat to me that I can do it all offline, with the power of my own device.
Can you link to the app’s repo?
Not off hand but here’s the fdroid page: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.zhenxiang.superimage/
I use Admin Hands for ssh and sftp access to my NAS.
rensim! (I tried to share the app, not sure if the link will work) it’s puyo puyo.
All sorts but less so now I use a hardened ROM apposed to a rootable ROM. I mostly use it for media consumption, like spotube, invidious.
Chinese space station tracker with iss detector
A remote when watching films from my PC with kdeconnect
I once considered using my phone as a VR tracking point for full body tracking with slimeVR
kore over wireguard to control kodi in a relatives house.
Kde connect is just awesome too and also works over wireguard
Voice recorder for meetings to recap later.
You can also use WiFi and Bluetooth to see what devices are nearby.
I make music with Koala Sampler, a Samson Go mic, and an $8 DAC for line-in and headphones. It’s no PC/DAW, but there’s more versatility there than you’d expect. Especially if you consider I’ve also got Csound, Caustic, and Grainstorm for creating samples and other audio processing.
Oh man, the Samson Go mic was my first ever microphone. I loved that thing!
It’s a surprisingly decent condenser. And it’s got a headphone jack. Class compliant. I was using it with an older Linux laptop a while back, now with my phone. I’m getting more use out of it than I expected.
I use my phone like a sensor for accelerometry when I’m curious about the forces acting on me. Or iI use it as a spectrograph.
