  • That is a control issue. They target groups they wish to control (e.g. Conservative Christians) and they tackle one of their major issues/needs to get the group into their pocket. CC want to oppression women, destroy minorities and LGBTQ. So the billionaires fund all this hateful shit to get CC to vote and support who the billionaires want in power. That is why the Orange one is president, he is an easily controlled idiot who handed over the keys to Mr Swastikar.


  • Oddly I think the only cases I ever used it where I was connecting to my home computer from outside my house was when I needed to connect to my router’s webpage. SSH to my home computer and then pull up the browser to open a port on my DMZ or other such nonsense.

    When at home and just using LAN bandwidth it was to run lesser programs.

    I finally got an “upgrade” going from a super slow 25 year old system to a kinda slow 10 year old system. Went with wayland to try it out and it works well enough so far.

    The only thing I’m missing, and I haven’t had a need since the upgrade is to be able to run remote X applications locally. Relied on a netbook with X client and had my desktop downstairs. Now my new laptop can run all I meed so no remote X tunnels over SSH.


  • One thing to note with X11’s design, having a server and client, there was nothing requiring both to be on the same machine. You could run an X11 client on your local machine, ssh into a remote machine and use its X11 server.

    Lets say you are home and can ssh into a work server. You could run Firefox on the work machine, using it’s network and have the visual parts show up on your home computer.

    This was very much a Unix, shared resource style design. Servers and thin clients. Put all your horse power in the big machine and connect using your crappy low power system to it.








  • I’ve always been amazed when i get a new “seasoned” project manager and they try to really work on making all the tracking as efficient as possible so they have tons of metrics.

    …and then nothing happens. We don’t look at projects and tasks and figure out which work would be best for which team members based on past experience. We don’t do any sort of optimization. We just track “velocity” and our estimates on release end up more dependent on how new the tech or the concept is (not knowing what we don’t know) than anything else.





  • Think less about time sharing and more about using all the computers you own together.

    You would have a netbook with no compute power as your UI sitting on your couch. You could connect to your beefy desktop to do all the computations for your video editor or playing a game and never have to be sitting at your desk.

    You could also have a big file store device with lots of drives to store stuff.

    We can do some of this now, I ssh into my desktop from my couch and have a NFS in the basement. But they all operate as separate devices that i have to really work at getting to operate together. Plan9 was designed where you’d just pick devices off of the network and the tasks operated normally. Pick your video card, local or over the network to the beefier GPU.
