I do a little bit of everything. Programming, computer systems hardware, networking, writing, traditional art, digital art (not AI), music production, whittling, 3d modeling and printing, cooking and baking, camping and hiking, knitting and sewing, and target shooting. There is probably more.

  • If you don’t need stuff publicly accessible, and just need it accessible to you, then set up a small computer on the network as an ssh Bastion host/jump server, put it on a VPN connection with a VPN provider that offers dyndns, forward the ssh port through the dyndns, and then off network, reverse proxy in with socks5 via key based ssh -D to gain access to all the services available inside the LAN.

    Been doing this for a few years, works great and no one is getting in without my ssh key.



  • I feel similarly especially about remmina, though as I understand it this is not necessarily the fault of Wayland but of the various applications and drivers not offering or having been developed to support wayland yet (I’m quite sure this is the case of Remmina anyway).

    It’s too bad because on Debian 13 here wayland actually speeds up the general interface for me - if it weren’t for these shortcomings in-app then I would be running it for sure.

    I would hope plasma’s decision pushes the application developers to catch up a bit.




  • Final straw?

    So it was contradicting itself and would not update no matter how many times I would hit “check for updates” over the course of a week.

    So not only was the system not functioning correctly, but I could no longer trust it was going to be secure from third parties.

    I had intended to switch for some time before then for a litany of reasons but this definitely convinced me to stop wasting any more time and I moved myself and family over less than a week later.



  • It’s funny because the meta quest recently had an update that got rid of custom/user created environments for the home area and only gave you some shitty options. The default one was a shitty balcony that overlooked a big stupid tower advertising this and they made the “portal” to it permanent and unremoveable.

    In addition to this almost every time you opened a menu it would pop up a fucking ad/link to enter the application almost every time.

    Pretty sure now this was a desperate last ditch effort to try to increase traffic - but clearly NO ONE wanted it and it just pissed everyone off more.

    If they want to save face to any degree they should revert that fucking patch ASAP. I miss my home environment being a fucking derelict warehouse.
