A friend’s favorite prompt is “Batman & Julia Child; in the kitchen laughing at a ham”. Sounds simple, but has been surprisingly tough.

VNC-remoting an X desktop isn't X11 forwarding an application; the mechanism that is moving pixels to the screen where you're looking at them is distinct, and different.

> if you’re able to keep any always-only PC on a university subnet (your PI should have some form of a server) you can use tailscale as a jump proxy and bypass the whole VPN dance.…

X was never, ever, designed for high-latency networks. I don't understand what people are thinking when they recommend that use-case for X apps.

Security has no responsibility towards production, just for preventing breakins. Ergo, their process will always ratchet towards not letting anyone do anything. Engine of a lawnmow…

Every user should get their own vscode endpoint, on a severely underprovisioned VM with 10mb/sec access to the cluster filesystem.

>OP is not ready for corporate environments if "VPN + ssh + 2FA" already "feels like too much" lol Sad that it's necessary, but it's still a shitty environment. That employers fois…

Shrug You asked about energy usage; but I have no idea as to how that bakery's natural gas usage affects the people surrounding it. The smell of freshly baked fig newtons might off…

There are industrial bakeries that burn that much natural gas (powerwise); although the bakery probably smells better.

I've read plenty; even aside from their glazing of finance, the unsigned articles & snotty-brit house style are grating.

I always read that word as though it were being pronounced by Daffy Duck; "you're dethpikable!".

If the product arrives at the quoted price, I could give a shit if their website was done in ActiveX controls for IE6.

They're pro-offshoring of any sort of industrial base. Line-goes-up!

How many destroyer keels has U. Essex laid down this decade?

Of the important life-lessons to have before one turns 18; "don't ever be the third or fourth owner of a Hyundai" is right up there with not eating the yellow snow. There's no sham…

Who told you that? Unless you buy your Hyundai new, or CPO from a dealership, the powertrain warranty is 5/50.
