  • please take a look and tell me what you think

    Sorry if it seems like I do, but I in fact do not have a brain.
    I just found this tool gets the job done, and that’s it.

    I typically just use it in a pretty stupid manual way.

    local$ waypipe -c zstd=6 ssh username@IP
    remote$ export DISPLAY=:90
    remote$ ./xwayland-satellite :90 &
    remote$ xfce4-panel
    

    Even the xfce4-panel discovery was an accident.
    I was using waypipe before knowing about xwayland-satellite. I wanted to run an X program, so in the same shell I typed vncserver to, well, launch a VNC server. That invoked xfce4-session, BUT since the WAYLAND_DISPLAY was set, XFCE DE attached to waypipe rather than XTigerVNC, launching a full remote desktop over my local one.
    And out of that, xfce4-panel proves pretty useful. I can easily launch other programs using GUI, and also see widgets on that panel.

    Here’s what I mean, if that sounds confusing:

    Plasma panel (bottom) is local, XFCE panel (top and middle bottom) are remote.
    Right, and you’re probably wondering why that app launcher at the top looks shattered. Well, both can’t be opened at once. If the application launcher goes out of focus, it closes.
    But also, I use the shatter effect in KDE Plasma, so it doesn’t go away immediately. This is just as close as I could get with screenshot timing.














  • We have that available, I just use mobile data because I disagree with their ToS.
    The ToS is so restrictive that you basically immediately break it after connecting a device. I was told that, of course, they don’t really care.
    Except - there is a point stating the provider has the right to access your computer if there is a suspicion of ToS violation. Considering the network here is a student-run organization, that could easily be exploited if you piss off someone.
    Maybe I am just paranoid, but no thanks.

    Otherwise, from talking with them, most dorms have 1Gbit, some have 2.5Gbit, and all share a 40Gbit link which could apparently do 100Gbit (I think), but it’s capped due to licensing.
    They leverage national academic network.
    Oh, and they also got a class B subnet back when everyone was sure there’s just way too many IPv4s, so NAT isn’t being used here.
