This is a fun use of technology I lose by having my iPhone 8 Plus. Previously I had an Android phone I used to automate to the nines with Tasker and such. Having similar capabilities on all of my devices and holistically binding them together (as you do with sshfs and similar technologies) is enjoyable and has more utility than any regular walled garden. Vendors locking down their devices to prevent advanced users from unlocking its full potential is sad.

I'm switching over to Android soon - once my current phone dies and I can find a capable device with a headphone jack, replaceable battery, and USB-C - and your setup has inspired me to get back into this game!
