While the title might make one think, "They've caught up to 1999!", the real point of the article and video seems to be "Raspberry Pi Connect", which is neat, but somewhat orthogonal to ssh and to choosing ssh over VNC on an airplane. Since many ISPs haven't deployed IPv6, or have done so half-assed, services like "Raspberry Pi Connect" may become more and more necessary. Some people have no choice but to be behind CG-NAT, like Starlink and T-Mobile Home 5G, so this is good for them. While I don't see much wrong with "Raspberry Pi Connect", I'm not a fan of the intermingling between the for-profit and the not-for-profit parts of the Raspberry Pi Foundation. Let's just hope the for-profit part doesn't decide that all the money isn't enough and they want to monetize "Raspberry Pi Connect" in the future. And remember, kids, "Raspberry Pi Connect" is not as secure as ssh, so don't set up services lazily thinking they're protected! Set up key-based ssh, anyway, and heck, have VNC listen only on localhost and port forward over ssh so that your VNC password can't be brute forced.
