Could an old mobile device (phone or tablet) be used as a home server, FreedomBox styles?
Imagine it has a big internal storage and/or SDcard, and it's running a custom ROM (a Mobile GNU distro) intended for the purpose. Plus it's permanently plugged into power and connected to reliable WiFi.
Is this something we could realistically repurpose old mobiles for if they don't support 4G calling?
