There are two seemingly irreconcilable camps at this point as to whether X itself is fundamentally sound technology for remote display or any kind of display technology going into the future. There are many reasons hashed out to death about

Somebody in a thread the other day lamented how almost always X clients are sensitive to network drops. And the suggestion is to use Xpra! (It’s “like tmux”) Xpra doesn’t forward X though, it is a rootless X server that then forwards everyt

by epcoa 2y ago
Sure whatever, to be clear the RS-422 port on a Mac was a generic serial port not a MIDI port per se. If you were running a PC at the time you would often use the 9 or 25 pin RS-232 port for the same purpose (which is the same port used for

It was probably RS-422, because RS-422 as a transport for MIDI back in the day was not uncommon as a desktop serial interface (like on old Macs and their lineage), but neither was FireWire later and now of course USB, that’s why I wouldn’t

NetworkManager and systemd-resolved are not really interchangeable. The latter is a local caching multiprotocol name resolver and NetworkManager supports its use for name resolution.
