+I learnt about `termux` from a friend on IRC recently.
+It looked super gimmicky to me at first, but it eventually
+proved to be useful. Here's what I use it for:
+
+### rsync
+
+Ever since I degoogled my android device, syncing files
+between my phone and my PC has always been a pain. I'm
+looking at you MTP. But, with `termux` and `sshd` all set up,
+it's as simple as:
+
+```
+$ arp
+Address         HWtype  HWad ...
+192.168.43.187  ether   d0:0 ...
+
+$ rsync -avz 192.168.43.187:~/frogs ~/pics/frogs
+```
+
+### ssh & tmux
+
+My phone doubles as a secondary view into my main machine
+with `ssh` and `tmux`. When I am away from my PC (read:
+sitting across the room), I check build status and IRC
+messages by `ssh`ing into a tmux session running the said
+build or weechat.
+
+### file uploads
+
+Not being able to access my (ssh-only) file host was
+crippling. With a `bash` instance on my phone, I just copied
+over my ssh keys, and popped in a file upload script (a
+glorified `scp`). Now I just have to figure out a way to
+clean up these file names ...
+
+```

+```
+
+### cmus
+
+Alright, I don't really listen to music via `cmus`, but I
+did use it a couple times when my default music player was
+acting up. `cmus` is a viable option:
