They are required to keep it full, my guess is they know that refilling cost that.

What the fuck?

"Hey, public health worker. Your job is to help the public be heathy. "

"Oh, BTW, you're not allowed to tell people about the benefits of getting vaccinated. "

Yes, still illegal.

The jury is just saying that that one act was morally justified despite the illegality.

Kill the Baker and people can access the bread, and the resources the Baker was hoarding, and ALSO make bread. Bread making isn't a genetic trait like hair color, it can be learned.

Peers? No they are near the same distance away from their owners than they are above the normal people. No way does that make the owners peers.

The book has a lot of parts in it that hint that the haptics weren't really all that realistic, but the visuals and audio were very very good. Controls were hand gestures and I would expect standardized.

I think we're not all that far from what the book describes in the beginning. At least as far as individuals hardware.

As far as lag minimized connections and interfacing with multiple users all at once.... yeah that's handwaving and I feel we're far from having a system that has near the "capacity" described in the book.

Perfect!! How do I now become the guy they pay to "remove" the googly eyes?

Rustdesk not connecting externally (self.selfhosted)
 

So, I'm trying to setup self hosted rustdesk. I have it running in a docker container. I have allowed the ports through the firewall. I have setup the same ports forwarded in my router, to the server running rustdesk. I have set the private key on both clients.

on systems internal network, I can setup the clients to connect with internal IP. And get the "ready" at the bottom. But key mismatch error when trying to actually connect between two internal systems.

If I setup the client with my external up (and I've tried domain name as well) I get a delay then, "not ready please check your connection", as well as the key mismatch.

I feel I'm running into two different problems, but I can't find any hints looking through the container logs (in fact, once the containers are running, I don't really get any logs populating when trying to connect a client)

Any suggestions? I'm at a loss here.

AI is like a hammer (self.showerthoughts)
 

Any tool can be a hammer if you use it wrong enough.

A good hammer is designed to be a hammer and only used like a hammer.

If you have a fancy new hammer, everything looks like a nail.

remote assistance software suggestions (self.selfhosted)

I've been using RealVNC for family computer help and have been wanting to setup a self hosted replaced for a while now, but haven't had the time. RealVNC has recently axed their free levels, so I'll use it as a reason to setup a self hosted solution.

Ideally it would be something like a web page (I have a domain and reverse proxy) where family can go, get a code or a software to run, which will then let me control their system securely.

I was considering guacamole on a pi at each location I'm likely to have to support, but this doesn't help when family is away from their home network on laptop.

What is out there for this? Have you used it? What are your experiences?

Thanks

Suggestions on bootcamps? (self.programming)

I've been playing around with Arduino and esp for ~10yrs, just googling, copying around code snippets, and reading compiler fail logs.

I'm fed up with my lack of ability to understand larger projects and more in depth programming (pointers, objects, etc)

I'm mostly focused on embedded software (iot, iiot, etc.) So probably looking at staying with C,C++ or rust?

I'm fine with investing some $$, but don't particularly feel I want to spend more that $1k at the moment to fix my ignorance.

What bootcamps would you suggest?
