this is how bots army and click fraud take place. your uniq mobile id means nothing. Here is How they build the 3rd gen, 20 mobiles into a server chassis? 3rd generation click farm fraud involves mobile device servers, centralised and operated by one.

Imagine smartphones having proper Linux available being normal, so we could actually reuse them as a super cheap but powerful Raspberry Pi replacement.

@didek @nixCraft there's alpine linux based postmarket os but it's still in early development.

rather curious where that project goes bc like u said being able to use old phones as a 'already in my drawer' alternative to rpis or the likes, not just feasibly but practically, could make an impact.

especially with phones getting more capable and powerful (and expensive) each year
