Installing .NET on Android


This runs .NET natively
not in a vm
not in a container
no need to have root access or jailbreaking your android
.NET runs natively on android in user space

Install Termux apk on android
pkg install proot
pkg install proot-distro
proot-distro allows to install linux which runs along with android os. This is not a vm so we get native performance.

proot-distro commands:
    proot-distro list - show the supported distributions and their status.
    proot-distro install - install a distribution.
    proot-distro login - start a root shell for the distribution.
    proot-distro remove - uninstall the distribution.
    proot-distro reset - reinstall the distribution.

Following linux flavours are supported:
  1. Alpine Linux (edge)
  2. Arch Linux / Arch Linux 32 / Arch Linux ARM
  3. Debian (stable)
  4. Fedora 35
  5. Manjaro AArch64
  6. OpenSUSE (Tumbleweed)
  7. Ubuntu (22.04)
  8. Void Linux

Following are the steps for Ubuntu
proot-distro install ubuntu
proot-distro login ubuntu
su
apt install wget -y
apt install ssh -y
apt-get install -y net-tools

Manual installation of .NET: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/install/linux-scripted-manual#scripted-install
wget https://dot.net/v1/dotnet-install.sh -O dotnet-install.sh
cd ~/.dotnet
echo 'export DOTNET_ROOT=$HOME/.dotnet' >> ~/.bashrc
echo 'export PATH=$PATH:$DOTNET_ROOT:$DOTNET_ROOT/tools' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
Now the dotnet CLI can be used, more on this: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/tools/dotnet

Detailed video coming soon

Applications:
1. You can install cloudflared (Cloudflare zero trust) and then can host asp.net site on your android device
2. Run FTP server
3. Share the files without uploading anywhere

C#: Convert any time to time in any timezone

You can use this to convert any server time to india time or any other time zone
here's possible list of all zone IDs which can be used in this method: https://nodatime.org/TimeZones

First add reference to NodaTime nuget package which is built by the ultimate Jon Skeet

Pun intended
/*
1. Jon Skeet can divide by zero.
2. When Jon Skeet's code fails to compile the compiler apologises.
3. If Jon-Skeet's program fails to compile they fix the compiler.
4. Jon Skeet coded his last project entirely in Microsoft Paint, just for the challenge.
5. Jon Skeet keeps a daily backup of the Internet on his USB pendrive.
*/

Jon Skeet handles all my exceptions
try
{
    insert.code.here();
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
  JonSkeet(ex);
}

here's the method
public DateTime ConvertToTimeZoneFromUtc(DateTime utcDateTime, string timezone)
{
    var easternTimeZone = DateTimeZoneProviders.Tzdb[timezone];
    return Instant.FromDateTimeUtc(utcDateTime)
                    .InZone(easternTimeZone)
                    .ToDateTimeUnspecified();
}

usage:
string zoneID = "Asia/Kolkata";
var date = ConvertToTimeZoneFromUtc(DateTime.Now.ToUniversalTime(), zoneID);

Lifetime unlimited money through manual SWP in mutual funds


The ₹1 lac example:

  1. Invest a lump sum in multiple high performing equity mutual fund e.g. ₹1lac
  2. Wait for 1+ year - yea! Let it grow for sometime
  3. Withdraw ₹1k per month on a fixed date (to minimize loss: withdraw only if mutual fund returns are greater than or equal to 13%)

More realistic example

Suppose you have ₹1k society maintainance bill:

Real-Time excel calculations

With initial investment of ₹1,00,000
Here you can see I have withdrawed ₹1,64,759 in 10 years
and still ₹87,361 is remaining in the account
If you keep withdrawing infinitely still money remains in the account
Download Withdrawl plan

Notes:

  1. mutual funds are subject to market risks, market down huwa to samjho paisa gaya
  2. works well if you choose the right mutual fund and start SWP after one year.
  3. Most trading/mutual fund platforms do not allow auto SWP of mutual funds, here's BSE circular https://www.bseindia.com/markets/MarketInfo/DispNewNoticesCirculars.aspx?page=20220713-1. Hence manual SWP needs to be done.
  4. its just a theory, try at your own risk
