😀 Tom I just had an idea for a story that is so novel and unique, I've never heard anything remotely similar to it, and I think it would be a crazy-good idea, if I can execute it properly. It blows all of my other tired story ideas out of the water. I will practice writing on those other story ideas first though, because I've never really written a novel-length story before. I'm so excited about this idea.

🤓 Simon Hamp Just found my login for here after losing it. Glad to have a more real place now that Twitter is heading down the tubes
đŸĻŋ Lucian Marin Now Elon wants to improve Twitter backend after he fired all remote backend developers. Twitter has become slow in some countries.

đŸĻŋ Lucian Marin Remote work should be recommended in big cities. By not spending time on unimportant stuff we can advance the world faster. It can also improve climate change and work life balance.

👾 Benjamin I often wonder how we can measure the performance of our endeavours to mitigate climate change, when the outcome is stretched over such a long period of time.

😃 Javier Fascinating. The average bypass surgery in the USA is 123K DLLS. With insurance people here end with a 40K 50K dollar tab on you way out of the Hospital. Hopefully the DaVinci machine brings the price down.
Cole Hudson Indeed, a possible future: a low-cost MRI or CT-scan creates a virtual representation of some part of your body, you or a specialist (that could incidentally be remote in time and/or place) performs some task, say surgery, on the virtual body until a successful sequence of steps is found. The system records while you debug and carries out the finalized procedure on the real body. Lots of interesting things to do with a platform sitting between the surgeon and the patient.

👨‍đŸ’ģ Matthieu V. what kind of roast ?
🧐 Nrmn It's going to be about coffee! But not really about roasting (although I'm doing that by myself as well from time to time). This is about events.ccc.de/2020...

🧐 Nrmn It's going to happen. I just registered the remote roast club! Stay tuned.

🧐 Nrmn I'm way too much in love with good completion and history search. I also use differently coloured prompts to differentiate between machines and privileges.
Sijmen I do need to learn about navigating history more efficiently. And I do cheat a bit for the things you mention: on machines I tend to remote into I add '\h' for hostname, and I use '\$' for prompt which turns into # for root

🍁 John J. Tough lesson: two largely similar LXLE installs. One, remotely SSH'ing in after reboot? No prob. The other? Only once I'd logged in locally first. The problem? Multiple users on the latter: made for a different 'permissions=' line in the file under /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/

🗨ī¸ Fui 2020 will definitely stand out in our collective memories as the most bizarre year of our lives. On the rare occasions I went back to some of the places where I used to hang out I was overcome by this eery strangeness of no longer belonging there. So yes, there's a surreal quality to all that is happening. We were all abruptly forced to cut ties with the real to inhabit the hyperreal of our digital simulacra. So where are we really?
Adsr Indeed. I saw a snippet from America's Got Talent a few days ago (hate that show - it just popped up on my feed), and instead of a live audience, they had a huge wall of screens with people connected remotely. It looked like a scene from a Black Mirror episode.

Burensasub Went back into the office for the first time since mid-March. It was surreal. I miss having double computer monitors but other than that I don't miss the place
Adsr I went to my workplace the other day and had similar feelings about it. I don't like seeing it deserted, and it's not going to be the way it used to be at least in the foreseeable future . I guess remote work is the new normal now. Not complaining though; I've managed to find my rhythm.

🗨ī¸ Fui That's a very grounded argument you have there. Never thought it like that before. And it makes much sense once you think about it from a practical point of view. All tech fails at some point. And your scenarios, though focusing on very fringe instances, are entirely within the realm of possibility.
👉 LÊo Thanks! Inevitably what comes to mind are those big robots they used to fight the machines in the matrix trilogy. I remember thinking at the time: why wouldn't they operate them remotely from a secure bunker? Another issue with human augmentation is controllability. As you increase the actuators power, they become harder to backdrive. Essentially it wouldn't feel like the exo is part of your body. It would feel like wearing a fork lift.

👉 LÊo I like the idea of exoskeletons for rehabilitation (e.g. make paraplegic people walk again) but I dislike human enhancement stuff. Why use an exoskeleton to lift 1000 lbs? Just use a remote controlled robot, or a fork lift! Want to run at 60 mph? Use a car! Just imagine if something goes wrong with the control system or the freaking battery connector fails while the user is lifting 1000 lbs above their head.

đŸĸ Keb owning a domain is not the same as owning a server. unless your domain provider also provides you with some server space, you'll need somewhere to host and run your python application
đŸĩ Max Yes alright, thank you for the precision. I was indeed wondering how I could run the application remotely...

👨‍đŸ’ģ Matthieu V. When my goals are defined, this is absolutely not a problem ! Better focus, no commute, more time with my wife and my son ! But downside is communication with colleagues is a bit harder via IM or voice chat than at work, when they are just at the next desk !
Chetan Vashisht +1, I hate the fakeness of corporate life anyway. But in my company it's remote work until it's feasible to open again. But this makes collaboration really hard.
