Competitive (professional) gamers?

Seems there are diminishing returns, but at least some gains are measurable at 360.

Same. Also feels a bit safer connecting to public wifi.

It is being discussed because we're in the middle of the transition from X to Wayland. Before there wasn't much discussion. In a few years when it settles out there probably won't be much discussion.

Windows and Mac have never had a choice. There might have been significant changes to a window manager layer, but it would have been part of a larger version upgrade. Like between windows 3.1 and 95 or OS 9 to OS X. The visible changes would be closer to desktop environment like KDE and Gnome in Linux.

Hehe.

Won't this new service help avoid that for users who haven't figured out how to safely expose a system to the Internet?

Isn't that the point of the new features? Now remote access can be had without directly exposing the device to the internet?

As much as I hate to admit it, the conversations that happen because I overheard another conversation a couple cubes over do have value.

While I generally agree that they should, I disagree that they should have to.

SSH and then some sort of VPN for remote terminal access isn't too bad.

It has been a decade or more since I tried setting up VNC, but I never could figure out how to connect to an existing X session. Has that setup gotten better?

I think it offers not having to know enough about each of those pieces to pick one of each and set them up.

I use the KDE integration, but it seems to create a new path every time I open a file. That breaks the recent file list in apps.

[-] giloronfoo@beehaw.org 1 points 4 months ago

Is there a good solution for that? It seems like most of the projects to do that have been abandoned.

Maybe not once quantum computers become more common.

Our current encryption methods can be represented as wave functions. This allows a sufficiently large quantum computer to solve for the keys in very little time.

There are new algorithms being developed that should defend against this. So you may still be correct.

I think that's what the kerberos is there to solve. I've heard that it isn't that bad to set up. I haven't tried and just stuck with SMB.
