It's nice to feel like you have some semblance of control in your life, even if it's in a very small way. Everyone has to draw the line between security and convenience somewhere, but I still feel catharsis when I see someone taking a stand and doing the hard thing, even if I myself choose not to do that.

Please use OBS

What do you mean? Aren't you looking at it right now?

What is "a lot of attempts"? I'm no expert in cryptography, but there's many orders of magnitude difference between a distributed bruteforce of a known hash, and bruteforcing over the web.

How does this compare to Vegas lines?

Great analogy. Expensive toys that look impressive but you'll spend 90% of your time fiddling instead of getting anything useful done with it.

Are their laserjet MFPs bad?

I'm just pointing out different options that exist. Virtual Desktop is WiFi only but ALVR can do either.

If you're not capped by bandwidth because you can hardware encode into H265 or AV1, it shouldn't make a difference (besides the bugs and software quirks in both programs)

With ALVR you can make a tunnel over usb with ADB.

Plenty of rage bait exists in hobbies too. There’s an entire subreddit for that. HN isn’t immune to that too obviously.

Do you think it's good enough for "business"? I pay too much for screenconnect and absolutely hate it, but it does usually just work.

If you got remoteFX on RDP working, would the difference be that large for gaming?

One feature I really want is clipboard sharing that works as well as it does on RDP/Parsec.

this comment is hilarious no matter how you look at it

>One reason iMessage is less of a total cesspit than SMS is that the ecosystem is closed

Would like to add my personal experience: I get way more spam iMessages coming from random Apple IDs than I do spam SMSes.

In the context of watching TV?

It is an interesting problem, but that annoyed me a bit because it's so brazen.

"i can provide more details if needed but some things i am under an NDA so i may not be able to answer specifics"

LOL why are these people helping this guy for free?

would like to add pikvm in there as well.

I think I understand you. That functionality doesn't exist in ESP32 Arduino tool chain without more work/more code. Their hobby level perspective is valuable to other hobby level engineers who want a solution.

Personally, I don't use multiple APs with overlapping SSIDs, but if I did than I can see how it would be easier to deal with the logic from the AP management side rather than the client. It's also nice to not have to re-connect IoT things if/when you add or change your APs.

Who wants to deal with writing that logic for a hobby project? That doesn't sound fun at all.

Sounds like a "good enough" shitty solution to me, which is kind of the whole point of DIY.

Regardless of that, I’m always happy to see people try and free themselves from the increasingly centralized nature of the web.

I might not be brave enough to stop using CF, but people who do benefit everyone.

There is a YC startup doing this right now: https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/theseus

Wow, that's pretty extreme. Maybe we can land somewhere in the middle here?

If you're trying to do an ISP on a budget, IPv4 makes things harder.

haha yeah it definitely comes off grand schemey and overly idealistic but it’s hard not to have emotional reactions to new applications in AI

good points.

When I meet people in VR who are ESL, I can tell based on their accent and mannerisms that they learned English by playing video games with westerners or watched a lot of YouTube.

Do we really want to dilute the uniqueness of language by making everyone sound like they came out of a lab in California?

I have found myself to be someone that loves learning a little bit about various tech disciplines, but I've ended up as a "master of none" because I get bored quickly. Any advice for a career path that would reward such a thing?

The secret ingredient is crime
