There used to be a hack for getting integrated windows using Remote Desktop, but I can't remember the name of it anymore and Google isn't finding much :( Hopefully someone remembers (and it's still maintained).

Edit: Found it: https://github.com/rdesktop/seamlessrdp. Seems like there are probably more modern solutions now though.

I do almost all my computing through Xpra these days. Being able to combine windows seamlessly from multiple VMs is a much more usable way to segregate workloads, and Xpra doesn't suffer from the same security (and increasingly compatibility) issues of X forwarding.

The classic metzdowd cryptography list is generally good reading: https://www.metzdowd.com/mailman/listinfo/cryptography

Another good fly-on-the-wall place to see what's going on in a specific tech niche is the dns-oarc operations list: https://lists.dns-oarc.net/mailman/listinfo/dns-operations

They brought a laptop to market and shipped thousands of those. So, seems likely?

This is a very long lived urban legend.

The currently shipping affordable RISC-V SBCs tend to be RISC-V cores embedded with a bunch of frustrating undocumented peripherals, more or less the same as with affordable ARM SBCs. It's disappointing :(

See for instance the Allwinner D1 chip.

"We will just use technology to bypass this bad law" is a very convenient position for a technology-focused group to take. It feels weirdly privileged to just say "ah we will abdicate ourselves from the problem by using ever more complicated technology" rather than working to improve the legislation to benefit everyone.

Google's nsjail (https://github.com/google/nsjail) has a nice "inetd style" mode where it can launch a sandboxed process in response to a TCP connection for similar use cases to this (and is relatively quick to fire up).

For reasons of safety: they're LiFePO4 batteries, swapping in Lithium Ion would be hazardous :)

SFTP isn't really FTP over SSH, it's just a collision of naming.

Excellent! I have the Uni-T version and it was suspiciously similar :)

I believe this Klein Tools camera is a re-brand of the Uni-T UTi80P, so probably these tricks apply there as well.

It's basically like you described - an informally specified set of rules the various "big players" in e-mail enforce. There's some consensus about the things you "have" to do to participate in e-mail but it's generally not a black and white "do these things and you'll be fine" situation.

The tl;dr as to why it doesn’t work is that they blanket forbid calling “rclone serve”, which is required for “append-only” support in restic.

This doesn’t make sense given that the specific invocation of “rclone serve restic --stdio” doesn’t open any network sockets, it’s no less safe than e.g. “tar”
