Oh I see. I think the more perfect unions channel will probably have a video for you that will have what you want, but I don’t know any at the top of my head.

I think if you could show a Hakim video, that would probably be best, but good luck getting that approved in schools.

The south park episode with Mr Mackey?

No, I totally understand that, but for the thing you’re doing, if you take away piracy, you’re just trying to run a server on an Android phone, so you’re gonna find better results in an Android forum from sysadmins who want to run a server.

People get nervous with torrenting and pirating, so when you go on the Android forums, don’t mention that’s the reason you’re looking for this.

If you’re hoping to use your phone as is and just install a “server app” onto it to use as a streaming service, I have some bad news for you.

That’s definitely not gonna work. If you think you’re gonna be able to run a server without root, that’s also probably not going to work.

You’re most likely going to have to install a custom ROM onto your phone or some version of Linux onto your phone in order to do the thing you want to do.

I don’t have much knowledge of it, but the Android communities will probably be the better place to reach out about running a server from a phone

i mean, ya have their metasearch engine, is technically closed source, but they open source all of their other stuff, and, searXNG has to be hosted by yourself unless you’re willing to trust some rando out on the internet that’s hosting their own version.

Pinebook?

A lot of the time these apps will have heuristics that will reach back out and so you will see network connections occasionally.

Without knowing more about this application, I don’t have the right context to evaluate whether or not I would trust something like that, so it’s gonna be up to your comfort level. But, if clamav came back clean and so did your other virus software, I would assume it’s not malicious traffic.

It’s not like traditional antivirus software, it just includes a tool that you can use to manually scan files to see if it has a virus signature, which is all Eset and most virus scanners are doing on the backend. They’re also doing what’s called heuristics, which is where they’re using predictive modeling to try and identify if a program has what they call an attack signature. This does result in false positives, just so you’re aware.

All virus total is doing is running a bunch of virus engines like eset and clamav on the back end to see if it triggers anything.

If both your virus software and clamav comes back clean, then I’d trust it.

Yes, it’s open source antivirus software.

The entire internet practically runs on what these guys do.

https://www.clamav.net/

It has a tool that you can use to scan whatever binary you want and it’ll tell you whether or not it’s a virus which fits what you need to do

Just run the file against clamav, and you should be able to tell whether or not it’s got issues. That’s generally what’s done in commercial spaces.
