You run a Tor Hidden Service with sshd on one device. Knowing the .onion address, the correct port and having the corresponding private key on the other device (all of that not really subject to change), you can run the Tor daemon on it (for Android, you can use Termux) and connect with ssh, using torify nc %h %p as ProxyCommand.
It’s great when you want to connect two devices behind NAT without relying on any specific third-party server or service. I ssh to my laptop from my phone with it when away from it.
It’s also useful to circumvent censorship, though it depends on the country. Also, websites employing wide-range IP blocks, in my experience, more often than not still allow Tor.
In my experience, external motivation kills internal motivation. I don’t want to be supposed to read this or that amount - I accept any pace and any pauses.
As of challenges promoting something you may not have considered, I do like the idea, though I don’t believe I’ve ever participated in those, except for some self-imposed ones and the one with Ulysses, which I’m not sure whether to qualify as a challenge.
Just finished Ada, or Ardor.
If you want something with brilliant prose, multilingual puns on every page, occasional invasions of other styles, a distorted but familiar world, obsession-driven narrative balancing between passion and transcendence, it might be something for you - unless, like Martin Amis, you find it hysterical and yourself unable to ignore the dark reality of several characters, narrator included, having too much resources to care about morals or most laws.
Huh, I’m still using it.
