The current situation is a result of the others. The US system was intended to be slow, clumsy, inefficient. Nothing worse than corrupt people (“beasts”) running an efficient system.

And of course it’s not perfect. Far from it. We’re beasts, so our beastliness will invariably show up, regardless of the system. I think half of your frustration comes from us teaching people to be idealists. We’re beasts… Some of us will invariably abuse things.

So give me the inefficient, clumsy, adversarial system. The more I can slowdown the fuck wits, the better.

Good rant though! You touched on a lot of stuff.

Good point about platform agnostic remote for management stuff. VNC is ideal for this.

And systems like Proxmox use a web GUI for most stuff, it’s a touch slow but I think that’s mostly just waiting for the system to finish the actual changes I make, and not the UI.

It uses some form of VNC (forget the name). Performance is fine for the VMs for non-video stuff.

You can run whatever you want inside a VM too.

You, I like you.

So, you’re telling us how to use this?

Who died and made you God?

You posted this just so you could make that comment.

I’ll accept it. Have my upvote. Lol

Giant fucking egos and totally disconnected from reality.

Basically Hollyweird in a nutshell

Works for me, but damn it’s dog snot slow. Like typing takes 1-2 seconds for each character to show up

Also, I’ve found power cycling stuff is when it fails.

I’ve had machines and many drives running for 10 years, only rebooting as necessary, and never powering off.

Yea, for simple sensors and switches, LoRa seems to be the solution.

This looks good for video, since it has wifi bandwidth capability.

If course then you’ll need a real battery (NiMH?) and some solar. But if the power consumption is good, that won’t be too bad.
