There used to be a hack for getting integrated windows using Remote Desktop, but I can't remember the name of it anymore and Google isn't finding much :( Hopefully someone remembers (and it's still maintained). Edit: Found it

I do almost all my computing through Xpra these days. Being able to combine windows seamlessly from multiple VMs is a much more usable way to segregate workloads, and Xpra doesn't suffer from the same security (and increasingly compati

They brought a laptop to market and shipped thousands of those. So, seems likely?

The currently shipping affordable RISC-V SBCs tend to be RISC-V cores embedded with a bunch of frustrating undocumented peripherals, more or less the same as with affordable ARM SBCs. It's disappointing :( See for instance the Allwinne

"We will just use technology to bypass this bad law" is a very convenient position for a technology-focused group to take. It feels weirdly privileged to just say "ah we will abdicate ourselves from the problem by using ever

It's basically like you described - an informally specified set of rules the various "big players" in e-mail enforce. There's some consensus about the things you "have" to do to participate in e-mail but it&#x2

The tl;dr as to why it doesn’t work is that they blanket forbid calling “rclone serve”, which is required for “append-only” support in restic. This doesn’t make sense given that the specific invocation of “rclone serve restic --stdio” doesn

My first experience with rsync.net was very disappointing. To this day they still advertise “append-only mode” support for restic at https://www.rsync.net/products/restic.html . Their support people confirmed it doesn’t

It would be great if someone forked this to allow it to function as an XOAUTH2 IMAP proxy for other providers. This would be particularly useful with big e-mail providers (Google, Microsoft) looking at retiring password based authentication
