I jumped off a cliff for a cheap Black Friday HP-based Chromebook (i3 with 16GB of RAM)
For my day-to-day Linux needs it has been great. I get all my apps/streaming through the play store, and all major SW for Linux works for my coding (VS Code, GIMP, Android Studio).
The current downside: I can run vms on the box (but I likely could run Docker...maybe?), But there's SSH for that.
Mainly it's a drag that the mouse-lock feature hasn't been implemented. So I can't play Minecraft. XD
It's your software needs that are really important.
What distro?
Do you need virtualization?
Are you looking to just have access to bash and unix-like tools?
Windows and Chromebooks fill most of my software needs for Linux... I push whatever else to a cloud, or switch to a more dedicated tower/rig for horsepower.
However, that code won't deal with other things like changing the port, having a built-in index, or having the server run for a discrete amount of files to serve.
I shared the link, since it was hosting webm based videos like a champ. I figured Fro wouldn't mind :)
The old solution we had been trying was weblite, and that needs all the user-content data to be manually added to weblite. Now I get to be lazy, cross platform, and have stand alone binaries ;)
Also: "Dringend lets you build and run your application wherever you are in the world" should be starred: "Dringend lets you build and run your application wherever you are in the world * " * Network connectivity required.
I'm pretty sure a jerk would jump in a Faraday cage and cite how they couldn't use the app.
Kudos on the work. I was TOTALLY misled thinking I could dev right on the device (see Terminal IDE on Android...). $10 for a remote wrapper is too rich for my blood.
They should use classic Cable TV vs. Local Broadcasters tactics:
Block all IPs from Comcast and force them to pay access to your content...which happens to be the exact amount they want for the Tolls.
If we consumers have to pay to access to content why shouldn't ISPs?
