Yes, it is possible to display individual windows with rdp. X forwarding works ok with a fast LAN, it's very slow to draw over a slower link. SSH compression can help a little. If it works well for you then that's awesome, keep

My libido and performance has improved 10x since getting into cycling. It's one of the major benefits of being fit. Depending where you live you can ride trails and avoid busy streets.

I have fun drinking coffee, tea, and alcohol. I have no desire to drink sweet liquids. But point well taken, moderation is key to a happy life.

How many factory or construction jobs do you want? How many should be funded by government. We'll be paying collectively for these jobs forever or they will disappear. And what do we get for this expense? We certainly don't ge

Why would such an app need to go online at all? Maybe you can find an open source option on f-droid.

It might make sense to have runtime configuration that enables no-GIL mode, or just enable it automatically when importing threading, so that non-threaded workloads don't suffer.

Some microservices will need persistent local data that is only used by the microservice and sqlite can be a good fit.

I recently made a webapp for scanning barcodes using the phone camera for warehouse use. I used QuaggaJS. I disabled the barcode locator because it was too heavy, instead I just draw a box on the screen that the barcode is to be positione

Historically, when businesses adopted open source software they would contribute upstream. Cloud vendors changed that model. It's interesting that attitudes about this behavior have changed.

It is infuriating how the these companies have managed to appropriate open source for profit. I would be pissed if my unpaid hard work community contributions were being appropriated to make Bezos richer while harming the OSS ecosystem that

I can't agree with this at all. It is entirely practical to configure bare metal or virtualized systems yourself. There are so many wonderful tools to do whatever you want. It will cost less and is usually more performant, especially w

I was using SLIRP a few years ago to tunnel traffic through a cheap OpenVZ VPS, (for downloading Linux ISOs). I had to manually patch the TCP window size and recompile the binaries to get decent speed as the original code doesn't supp

Charging the phone from 60% to 100% is 0.4 cycles. So your wife is putting less than 3 cycles per week on the phone battery. Sitting at 100% does degrade the battery, especially since the phones all charge to 4.4V these days. I root my phon

Another example of why it is time to dump google. With google you are the product, not the customer. There are decent alternatives for everything that google offers. It feels really good to do.

Yep, Fastmail is great. Google cannot be trusted. With google you are the product, not the customer. The Fastmail service and features are better than gmail as well.

So true, XMPP is fantastic. I also use it for SMS and signal (I wrote some simple bridges for Prosody). We use it for work too. It's great to have it on all my devices. Group chats (MUC) also work well. The modularity is where it reall
