There can't be that many phones with 6 inch screens these days. What did you get?

Why pay for more servers when you can tell your users to queue?

The brits are experts at queueing

Now imagine being a wwii fighter pilot and charging straight ahead through enemy's AA in a plane built from wood and paper.

I think it's because how simple and ubiquitous it is. Just open the backplate and stick it to your detonator to use the speaker terminal as a source signal.

Some distro actually do not map www-data user to UID 33, so if you're on one of those distro, changing file owner to UID 33 won't help you. Pretty sure Ubuntu use UID 33 though, but I've seen people on other distros getting bitten by this. Also, some container systems can remap file ownership when mounting a volume.

My main concern of using a phone as a server is the battery. It'll get spicy after a year of constantly being plugged in, and the phone usually doesn't work without a battery attached.

One thing to watch for is file permissions. Just make sure it's all set to www-data and you're golden.

It could be worse. What would happen on people that live in UTC+12:00 ? When your friend say "lets meet on Tuesday", which Tuesday it is (because the day changes at noon)? People will resist such majorly inconvenience changes unless the benefit of switching is clear for them. Forcing unpopular changes will guarantee people using unofficial timezone which cause even more confusion down the line.
