I found a picture of you.

I have a tongue scraper that I keep in the shower. It is used exclusively for scraping dead skin from my heels.

It looks like this one.

Remote desktop working like it does in windows.

• easy to setup and use
• can remote into a system that has been recently rebooted. Without needing to make the user auto login and set the keychain password to be blank.
• resolution scales to remote client interface

I love linux and it is really all I use but RDP support is severly worse than windows.

I moved my personal email domain to fastmail. I've been very happy with it. I am using the Standard plan at $50 per year.

It's nice being the customer instead of the product.

They can also host static web sites for no additional cost on this plan. So I canceled my web hosting plan too.

Not sure what issues you are having. I am using the Jerboa app on android.

Well now I want an old ugly bike. Where do you park yours? 😉

Every distro.

Samba file shares should use regular user credentials and not have separate samba usernames and passwords.

I have some strange power issues with my laptop that may have a similar cause.

I put an additional drive in my work laptop so I could debian for work without nuking the system drive.

Shutting down usually always works properly but rebooting gets stuck sometimes. It's like it gets to the bottom of the reboot cycle and loses the ability to say "okay boot back up now". On my laptop, it's obvious that it is still on because of the light on the power button. I hold it down for about 12 seconds until it goes off and then I can power it back on.

I wonder if your surface is doing a similar thing where it is still powered on but not booted. You might try hiding the power button down for about 15 seconds and then hitting it again when it's in this state.

I wonder what your coworkers discover about you...😜

I'm using servicenow. First time and it's pretty bad. But I hear that it is actually worse than normal because they customized the hell out of it trying to make it match the previous solution.

I use the terminal so much that I frequently accidentally use Ctrl-Shift-C and V outside of the terminal.

Ctrl-Shift-V usually works pretty well as it does a paste without formatting in a lot of places.

Accidentally hitting Ctrl-Shift-C though in a MS Team's chat though, starts a voice call with all chat participants. 😑 hate it

Every extension installed can view every page you go to and any information you enter, including passwords. You are potentially sharing a lot of private information with a lot of random developers/sketch people who hired developers.

You really need to consider the people behind the extensions and whether you trust them to not run off with all your bitcoins and blackmail you for the content of your saucy emails, and furry porn addiction.

When installing Debian, it asks you for a root password. If you enter one then you will not be added to the sudo group automatically. If you skip entering a root password, you will be added to sudo.

I always enter a root password and then once in the installed OS switch to the root account with su - then add my self to sudo with usermod -aG sudo beirdo-baggins

Then reboot.

Using RDP clients like Remmina is great. The problem is running a RDP server in linux.

In order to connect you must already be logged in to the remote computer locally and have unlocked your keychain. If the remote computer lost power and rebooted you will not be able to get in unless you have set the computer to login automatically and have set the keychain password to be blank, which is not great for security.

You can not use a different screen resolution in the client than you have setup in the server. This means that using "RD Client" on my Android phone to connect to my desktop computer with a resolution of 1920x1080 doesn't work. I need to use an alternate RDP client on my phone where a I can specify a custom resolution of 1920x1080. And then the user interface is tiny and does not fill my screen.

Stuff keeps breaking in my house. I hate fixing the stuff, but I always feel super proud when it's done.

In the last month I replaced an electrical outlet that released its magic smoke when the electric griddle cord short circuited. I replaced the igniter in our gas oven. And just today I replaced the insinkerator garbage disposal that started leaking water under the sink.

I was a poor kid living in Hawaii in the mid 90's.

Wendy's in Hawaii had a salad bar. If you ordered the "dine in" salad bar, they gave you a fairly small plate and you were allowed one trip.

If you ordered it to go, you still had the one trip restriction, but they would give you a big plastic clamshell to go container. They assumed you would put food in the bottom of the container and close it up and leave.

Not me. I would order to go, but fill both halves of the container and eat it all at one of the tables. Usually one of the halves was mostly Chocolate pudding and cheezy crackers.

I've been on one plus phones for years and then switched to pixel 4a 5g, then pixel 6a.

I just switched to a samsung galaxy s23 ultra and I am loving this device.

I uninstalled a bunch of the Google and samsung bloatware.

When I started working at NI they were still using Lotus Notes. 🤮

And the RTO demands are about intentionally lowering headcount without paying unemployment or severance so they can boost their numbers.

I just bought one of these..

Just for shiggles, I setup and ran a minecraft Java server on an old phone for a little while. I did this through Termux.

It was surprisingly good.

Moved from a junky setup where I was forwarding my domain mail to gmail. And sending mail through gmail using the smtp server provided by my web host.

I was having too many issues.

I switched to fastmail. It is quite good. And you can get some free basic web hosting included with your paid service.

It sounds like you got it working-ish.

One thing you might be running into is having hiberboot (AKA fast startup)enabled in windows. Instead of shutting down it hibernates when you choose "shutdown".

If it is in the hibernated state instead of actually shutdown. You won't be able to choose a different boot option.

Here is some info on how to turn it off. https://www.elevenforum.com/t/turn-on-or-off-fast-startup-in-windows-11.1212/

I can do anything I "need" to via ssh. But I would really like the convenience.

At work they monitor web traffic and block vpns, but they dont block ssh. So I use an ssh tunnel to rdp to my home system so I can easily look something up, navigate to the web interface of one of my self hosted apps, or get a torrent downloading at home.

Every distro with gnome.

Make RDP work as well as it does on Windows.

I'm talking about remoting into the Linux system.

Everytime the system is restarted you have to physically login to the system to unlock the keyring so that your RDP password is accessible or you won't be able to get in. Or you have to remove your keyring password all together. Why is this different than the regular user password?

Also it's weird that it works like VNC where you are controlling the system remotely but anyone local can see what you are doing on the screen. It is also cool to have that option but it shouldn't be the default.

~yes~ But not in any way that makes it useful. It starts when the user logs into the computer locally. If I was going to do that I wouldn't need a remote session.

You can set the account to login automatically, but this doesn't unlock the keychain which is needed to decrypt the user's RDP password. So you can do it but you need to set your account to login automatically and set your keychain password to be blank.

How did that exchange go?

They try to tell you that you can't use your last name?

I prefer mine a bit sweet. I usually buy YellowBird Blue Agave Sriracha

Yup

I bought a 21 inch 1080p Viewsonic monitor from a thrift store just the other day for $6. I got it just for this use case.

I had a spare for this purpose up until about a month ago when the backlight went out on one of my daily drivers.

Also, a couple of days ago I got a pretty nice steelcase apex 3 keyboard with RGB lights for $5.

Dang!

I have a bunch of domains on Google domains.

Anyone have some good recommendations of places to transfer them?

I'm not the person you replied to, but for a while I went to a franchise dentist practice. They had locations all over town and every time I went the dentist would be different. They messed up my teeth. They botched a root canal to the point the tooth couldn't be saved.

I think this was the place that brand new dentists would get jobs before starting their own practices.

I do not recommend.

That looks really awesome.

Most people get a new phone every 2-3 years. If people use their 2 most recent phones as simple servers, then these are not 10 year old devices.

That's what we assume.

One of my favorite snacks lately is tamari almonds and a slice of smoked provolone cheese.

I use the one built into Gnome but I have run into even more issues trying to install and use other ones.
