Android

I mentioned back in 2019 that I needed to writeup how I’m using hugo to build this static site on my Android phone. So here it is! Only 3 years later First I’ve got my complete setup to clone the git repo written here (just updated!). apt install hugo in termux cd to the hugo folder run with drafts locally with hugo server -D --noBuildLock Go to http://localhost:1313 to review kill with ctrl+c when done Do a final build with hugo --noBuildLock Then push with rsync as detailed in another of my old writeups I’ve had to add the –noBuildLock flag to the hugo commands because of an issue with build lock on Android.

With much help from my friend Uriah I’ve been able to set up Pi-Hole and PiVPN for my phone. This will let me block Reddit and Hacker News. The combination of those two sites has latched onto the addiction centers of my brain to a physically harmful level. I’ve been losing sleep looking at memes… as ridiculous as that sounds. So what all did I do? First we gathered materials. Uriah provided me with a Pi Zero and a usb ethernet adapter.

From time to time I like to clear out some of my open tabs on my phone. I do a little write up of each one. You can see the last two iterations of this series here and here. This one is going to be a little different. I have a bunch of long-lived tabs open for a small number of categories. Iyashikei 癒し系 means healing or therapy in Japanese (source: Jisho.

I’m writing this entirely from my Android phone! I spent quite a few hours trying to figure out how to get a clone of my git repository on here and hit a lot of dead ends. I tried multiple sets of instructions for AIDE and mGit with no success. Finally I found the Termux app which actually supports everything I need! For some reason Termux was not coming up in any of my searches for git clients on Android.
