VNC? You have your choice of servers, and clients are ubiquitous.
A big gotcha is that you need to be careful with encryption/security, as in classic UNIX style VNC does one thing (remote desktops). It’s easy to forward over ssh though.
You can also use VNC to share, which is not what you want; this depends on the type of server/settings. But you can definitely create a new virtual X11 session and access it remotely.
In CA and we pay north of $40k in daycare alone for each kid.
Not a historian, but folks on The Internet have characterized the Soviet program as a series of milestones, with the US program a series of stepping stones in support of a single goal.
This makes sense with the cartoon, where the Soviets were first in basically everything except walking on the moon.
Not sure how much merit it has, but it’s kinda interesting.
Looks great! I’m a huge fan of (almost) never using a cutting board—that’s what the counter is for!
Mac at work. Yabai+sketchybar is no i3wm replacement, but it works ok.
My .zshrc is basically the same as I use on my personal computers, and aside from a few coreutils differences it…kinda just works. I have apt aliased to brew so I can feel more at home.
Stock terminal works fine—I use xterm on Linux, so I’m used to relying on tmux for nice features anyway.
Basically, I miss the window manager, but practically speaking that’s a about it. (I obviously have xscreensaver installed!)
nc is useful. For example: if you have a disk image downloaded on computer A but want to write it to an SD card on computer B, you can run something like
user@B: nc -l 1234 | pv > /dev/$sdcard
And
user@A: nc B.local 1234 < /path/to/image.img
(I may have syntax messed up–also don’t transfer sensitive information this way!)
Similarly, no need to store a compressed file if you’re going to uncompress it as soon as you download it—just pipe wget or curl to tar or xz or whatever.
I once burnt a CD of a Linux ISO by wgeting directly to cdrecord. It was actually kinda useful because it was on a laptop that was running out of HD space. Luckily the University Internet was fast and the CD was successfully burnt :)
4*8 = 24
TIL ;)
Each /8 is 1/256th of all IPv4 addresses, not counting reserved/illegal addresses. Not sure where 1/1000 is coming from…
I’m a ~/tmp man myself.
I would recommend PoE security cameras. You probably want support for RTSP / ONVIF.
I have some Amcrest cameras talking to Frigate. It is completely local—cameras on a separate VLAN that can’t talk to the Internet, footage is recorded on a server running Frigate. Works very well for me. No vendor lock-in is also nice!
Everything’s a fuckin’ travesty with you, man! And what was all that shit about Wolf 359? What the fuck has anything got to do with Wolf 359? What the fuck are you talking about?
640k 780k ought to be enough for anybody…
If you can build up intuition around Fourier decomposition I think it gets much easier to understand.
Multiple things going on at the same frequency are indistinguishable (up to a phase). Lots of stuff going on at different frequency can be separated. Light also has frequency (color) and volume (intensity)—it may be more intuitive to conceptualize in this way.
If you search around you might find free ones. Oracle has/had a free tier (though it’s Oracle, so…).
Sadly not really. I use the free tier Oracle, which honestly has worked very well, but I’m not going to recommend using Oracle aside to say that it functionally works for me.
If I were to switch I would probably go to racknerd.
Yes, but you can run multiple VPS, from different providers, simultaneously.
What I like is that while it does depend on an external provider, it doesn’t depend on a specific external provider. Any VPS with a public IPv4 would work.
VPS+VPN (WireGuard for me), with Tailscale as an emergency alternative, has worked very well for me. Knock on wood the only outages have been my own fault.
VPS+VPN, this is what I do.
VPS has public IP and runs WireGuard “server”* and a reverse proxy (and fail2ban…). Reverse proxy points to my home computer over the WireGuard link. No open ports on my home router.
For private facing/LAN-only services I just don’t have an entry in the VPS reverse proxy. DNS on the router points everything to my local server, so if at home I access everything directly. To access internal services remotely requires VPN (i.e., WireGuard to the VPS).
Works well; I have a tiny free tier VPS but even so, no complaints.
*Yes I know there are no wg clients or servers, only peers, but it plays a server-likr role.
Sounds like this was basically the plot of the first Nolan Batman.
