I have a curious question. I see several capsul/servers being build on separate devices. Is there an advantage to this? Can't both client and server just be in the same machine as it is with several other client/server protocols?

@Minko_Ikana I don't know for sure since I'm a lowly user and not capable of doing amazing things like putting a capsule on a blackberry, but I'd imagine that hosting servers on separate devices helps reduce attack surface if a bad actor were to start breaking into the device...

@Minko_Ikana I don't think there is an advantage to using an old phone as a server, it's actually pretty power inefficient. I just wanted to see if I could use it for something, rather than letting it rot on a shelf.

I managed to get a gemini capsule running on an old phone! it only starts listening on its port when I tell Agate where its content folder is, and goes down when I cancel that command. Not sure why. at least SSH works too, programming on a Blackberry keyboard is not easy. Still a fun way to use old phones.
