- routine backups with rsync (one time setup in my shell config with a `bkup` alias and then I just run that when I think of it)
- grabbing albums off my PC with sftp
- easy way to unzip files
- play audio via mpv
- run `xdg-open` on a file and get a native popup to select an app to open it with
- ssh into your other machines, works well to pick up your irc chat away from your pc if you use irssi + tmux (or weechat, or screen, etc.)
- use a "real" editor like vim or emacs locally on your phone
- api stuff, you can control the torch, notifications, etc. you can make scripts around that (imagine a simple `sleep 30m && ...` sort of one liner that turns on your light and plays some audio to wake you from a nap (I haven't done much with this part of termux)
