GitHub Satellite Livestream

This is amazing. I've been using VS Code Server ( https://github.com/cdr/code-server ) to self-host a browser-based editor I can access from my tablet and code on the go, but it's been a hassle to keep it all running smoothly..

As long as pricing is reasonable, Codespaces seems like my future solution.

The live coding set from Sam Aaron was awesome. I'm looking forward to tuning in to his set again once the people stop talking. Lots of other acts in the schedule---looks really interesting!

That keynote from Nat Friedman an hour ago looks interesting. How do you play past segments in this thing? (All I see is this: https://i.imgur.com/KR6UMgu.png)

Also: I've got to say, seeing things from this particular Nat gives me a nice late 90s throwback feeling. He along with Miguel ruled the Linux desktop universe back when we we're all hopeful that the Linux desktop would win over the Windows desktop.

Edit: The FAQ implies recordings are manually uploaded at some later time. (Meh!)

As an alternative to VS Code Server, you can install the vsonline CLI which is distributed via .deb and other package mechanisms. Once installed, it installs the backend side of VS Code Remote and it's distributed by Microsoft.

You _don't_ need to register your machine, you can set up your own authenticating reverse proxy over it and run it on port 8000 like so:

    $HOME/.vscode-remote/bin/[some hash here]/server.sh

I just wish they open sourced all of this. For compliance reasons, I'm leery of running data through Microsoft unnecessarily and so I only use CodeSpaces and VS Online for personal project.
