Haven’t used it myself but you could give rustdesk.com a try.
- Comment on The cost-of-living crisis is so bleak that some Gen Zers genuinely fear becoming homeless 2 days ago:
Allowing commercial inside residential areas the way most countries outside the US do could help the US too. That way people wouldn’t need a car for basic necessities.
- Comment on The cost-of-living crisis is so bleak that some Gen Zers genuinely fear becoming homeless 2 days ago:
Some anti-NIMBY regulation could probably help too at least when it comes to residential buildings.
- Comment on The cost-of-living crisis is so bleak that some Gen Zers genuinely fear becoming homeless 2 days ago:
My sister who is 4 years older than me has been homeless a few times, but she has her own issues.
Maybe that is a radical idea to some but I for one think people shouldn’t become homeless even if they have issues of any kind.
- Comment on I think it's extremely invasive that amazon is telling me this 4 days ago:
Is it common for your delivery driver to knock on your door and hand deliver your package?
Yes, very common. Not everyone lives in a place with a secure location where packages can be deposited.
- Comment on I think it's extremely invasive that amazon is telling me this 5 days ago:
I would see it the other way around. The picture could be useful, e.g. if you want to know if the person at your door is actually the delivery person, the name is really the unnecessary bit of info here.

Not really surprised if someone J.K.Rowling paints as evil isn’t actually that bad tbh.
- Comment on I'm a Tenured College Professor. I'm Quitting. Here's Why. 2 weeks ago:
Of course politicians and rich people don’t want an educated population, those might actually notice who is exploiting them.
- Comment on European police chiefs call for end-to-end encryption roll out to include public protection measures 3 weeks ago:
From the outside it honestly looks like half of what the federal government does is prevent certain states from abusing their people.
The problem isn’t large governments, you get abuse of power even on a very local level, think small town mayor or police or even in some hobby related clubs with just a few members.

Is hating basic rights a requirement for that job or does it just attract those kinds of people?
- Comment on Negative electricity prices registered in nearly all European energy markets 4 weeks ago:
You are correct, I got the wrong numbers. But with your numbers of course it makes even less sense.
- Comment on Can't join on own xmpp server, only through admin account. 4 weeks ago:
It might be worth mentioning which xmpp implementation you are actually using for your server if you expect anyone to help you. Also in general, more details about your hosting setup, how you installed it, did you follow any tutorial or use any particular installer (e.g. Helm chart on Kubernetes), possibly if you made any changes to the config,…
- Comment on Negative electricity prices registered in nearly all European energy markets 4 weeks ago:
The point is that even with 100% efficiency you couldn’t get enough water out of the air because the dry air simply doesn’t hold that much water.
- Comment on Negative electricity prices registered in nearly all European energy markets 4 weeks ago:
Collecting water from the air is not really viable in the parts of the world where lack of water is an issue since humidity is not very high there. You would need to filter huge amounts of air even just to theoretically get enough water, never mind practical concerns like efficiencies of less than 100%.
- Comment on Italy considers law against sharenting to protect children's privacy 5 weeks ago:
Well, note how I didn’t say it would improve parenting.
- Comment on Italy considers law against sharenting to protect children's privacy 5 weeks ago:
A right to jail bad parents as other citizens observe them would probably do a lot to change parenting.

Borg is also supported by Hetzner Storage Boxes
- Comment on PSA: Docker nukes your firewall rules, and replaces them with its own. 2 months ago:
It is enough to put it into its own network namespace.
- Comment on Solar-Powered Farming Is Quickly Depleting the World's Groundwater Supply 2 months ago:
The problem is that many countries have ageing populations that vote in favour of policies that increase incentives to have more children so there are young people to care for those voting older people in their old age and pay for their pensions.
- Comment on Solar-Powered Farming Is Quickly Depleting the World's Groundwater Supply 2 months ago:
It is really your classic tragedy of the commons issue that capitalism has always been bad at solving.
- Comment on Solar-Powered Farming Is Quickly Depleting the World's Groundwater Supply 2 months ago:
That doesn’t really work in reality in arid regions because there isn’t much water in the air and you would need a lot of energy to pull huge amounts of air through your device to even theoretically get significant amounts of water.
- Comment on Solar-Powered Farming Is Quickly Depleting the World's Groundwater Supply 2 months ago:
share knowledge of different people all over the world
I feel despite the internet we are pretty bad at that in general in all kinds of professions and other parts of life that could benefit from it.
- Comment on Solar Panels Spread Across America's Heartland as Farmers Chase Stable Returns 2 months ago:
I meant more the wiring from the field to the grid.
- Comment on Solar Panels Spread Across America's Heartland as Farmers Chase Stable Returns 2 months ago:
I think solar panels are easy to move, the problem is the wiring.

What gave you the impression security theatre was meant to be safer?
- Comment on Zionists doing a rave to block aid trucks at Ker Shalom crossing while Palestinians are starving 2 months ago:
It is about religion in the sense that religion makes it much easier for a small number of malicious people to control a large number of people and make them do things against their own interest.
- Comment on Zionists doing a rave to block aid trucks at Ker Shalom crossing while Palestinians are starving 2 months ago:
That is really the tragedy about the whole thing. A small warmongering minority on both sides pulls in people who really just want to live in peace and safety and have enough to eat, a roof over their head,… who are likely the vast majority on both sides.
- Comment on Looking for peoplecs experiences with Systemd-less distros for a home server 2 months ago:
I am ideally looking for something that can just be left and updated less frequently
You might want that but security holes happen every day and need to be patched asap. Honestly, if you want to spend the least amount of effort use a stable distro like Debian stable and just use the package manager to update, a lot less effort than replacing entire containers for everything all the time.

Possibly because ad also exists as a word?

Do not use made up domains for anything these days. It will make it a pain if you ever need a certificate for that domain that isn’t self-signed.
