There used to be a hack for getting integrated windows using Remote Desktop, but I can't remember the name of it anymore and Google isn't finding much :( Hopefully someone remember…

I do almost all my computing through Xpra these days. Being able to combine windows seamlessly from multiple VMs is a much more usable way to segregate workloads, and Xpra doesn't …

The classic metzdowd cryptography list is generally good reading: https://www.metzdowd.com/mailman/listinfo/cryptography Another good fly-on-the-wall place to see what's going on i…

They brought a laptop to market and shipped thousands of those. So, seems likely?

This is a very long lived urban legend.

The currently shipping affordable RISC-V SBCs tend to be RISC-V cores embedded with a bunch of frustrating undocumented peripherals, more or less the same as with affordable ARM SB…

It's basically like you described - an informally specified set of rules the various "big players" in e-mail enforce. There's some consensus about the things you "have" to do to pa…

The tl;dr as to why it doesn’t work is that they blanket forbid calling “rclone serve”, which is required for “append-only” support in restic. This doesn’t make sense given that th…

My first experience with rsync.net was very disappointing. To this day they still advertise “append-only mode” support for restic at https://www.rsync.net/products/restic.html . Th…

Just whatever other software I'm using. Usually terminal windows, sometimes text or graphics editor, e-mail client. That kind of thing.

It would be great if someone forked this to allow it to function as an XOAUTH2 IMAP proxy for other providers. This would be particularly useful with big e-mail providers (Google, …

Is it open source?
