  • Others may have better, or fancier solutions, but I’m a fan VPN -> Home Network -> VNC over SSH/TLS for Linux boxes, and RDP for Windows.

    Again, none of VNC or RDP ports or services are ever exposed externally, and even on the LAN, they require authentication and use secure tunnels.

    Full disclosure, I haven’t used RDP in a while and I don’t know what version of SSL/TLS it comes with anymore.

    I know their are self-hosted AnyDesk style options and maybe they’re better than my approach, but I’ve never used them so I can’t really speak on that.




  • I disagree on the private sector aspect of this, but I agree on the democracy part. Although, I don’t really view America as true democracy at this moment in history, but that’s besides the point here.

    Fusion technology is at a point in its life cycle where it needs to be a public sector project. There is no path to profitability in the near-term, that would justify private sector involvement, except as a means to extract profit from the very expensive research process of even making this technology feasible.

    Not that I’m against the private sector within the nuclear power industry. I’m very excited to see what they can do with SMR technology. I’m just extremely skeptical of most private-public partnerships, especially in cases like this.


  • Fusion reactors are incredibly complicated… This is a research reactor, with the goal of figuring out how to create sustainable fusion for real world uses by 2050.

    This is not a performative action for a determinative outcome, this is aspirational and has no guarantee of achieving its goals, which is good. This type of research and science needs to be funded, even when it may fail.

    Maybe this will spurn competition between powers to accelerate their own fusion reactor research, and create a virtuous cycle that accelerates this technology becoming a major source of green energy in the near, or medium-term, future.

    You’re on Android use NewPipe and it’s forks, personally I prefer Tubular and PipePipe.

    Periodically YouTube will break, but both of those forks, as well as new pipe prime, update fairly quickly.

    GrayJay is interesting… It has different feel and feature set than newpipe, but it’s worth using. I will say I get more login errors with GrayJay, but closing the app and reopening it resolves it.

    All the piped apps will be in f-droid/droidify, you can download GrayJay directly, or just scan the QR to add the repo to a FOSS repo manager.



  • I believe Tails already supports I2P, you just have to enable it in the terminal and reboot.

    I don’t know who this developer is, maybe they are well-known and well regarded.

    I just know that for an OS, better to be safe than sorry and go with and established and well respected project such as Tails IMO.

    Not trying discourage users from trying it, just that they should be mindful of the risks and adjust their behavior accordingly.







  • TBF I’ve never configured an Arch system from scratch, so maybe it’s me that’s missing out.

    The thing about Fedora that got me to stop switching, was that it just felt more adult then the various and fashionable Ubuntu based distros, or any other well regarded distro I used over the years. The right mix of stability and new features/support, pretty much out of the box.

    Also, after tweaking Gnome a little bit for a more Windows 10 dock/bar style launcher/menu, it’s been perfect for me. Think I’ve been rolling with it since 38 now.

    Anyways, best of luck with your new box.
