How is that experience different than, say, using an ssh client (I use
JuiceSSH) to connect to your home system?  (And I connect using mosh,
so the connection tends to stay up for days, if not weeks.)

(I think I was expecting you to describe using termux to navigate
the android filesystem, so you could use vile to edit config files and
ImageMagick to manipulate your photos.)
