We have an old #iPad kicking around (has been used just for watching videos... But even that's getting difficult as apps are no longer supported) and I had the idea of repurposing (ideally with #foss tools) as a remote access tool for my pi which runs my #jellyfin server. *insert a few frustrating hours of toying with that (trying #vnc & #terminal emulators) to no success (OS "too old" for much compatibility).

Flip gears.

Decide, let's just do it on my #android phone. Stumbled on #Termux on #fdroid and its beautiful. Now I can #SSH into my pi for quick work if needed. So satisfying.

Also more than a little disgusted that a piece of hardware (the iPad) is basically rendered #ewaste as its not compatible with anything due to OS update block and inability to repurpose with an alternative.
