any way to use this for e.g. vnc forwarding directly? I mean, I can set it to be available via ssh but would that work?

ssh someuser@ssh-j.com -N -R some-pc:5901:localhost:5901

Now do I reach this from my vnc? I need the "someuser" and -J part when connecting? Would I have to setup another ssh connection from my local pc to ssh-j and then use localhost:5901 in vnc?

I have used dnote locally for a short while and love it. Unfortunately I cannot connect to the "pro" server (company restrictions), so I am running my own dnote server for this. Works very nice except for a few minor bugs (which reminded me to get them reported on github). Any plans to make the browser extention configurable so it can work with a self-hosted server?

We had -20C the other day. My samsung S8 was perfectly fine while in my pocket. At one point i placed it on my outdoor table and within a minute it showed a warning and then closed down (correctly closing down - not dying/crashing).

I shifted to Feedly and it easily imported all my google reader feeds. Today I have a couple of thousand feeds in Feedly and still find it a bliss to read through them. Their mobile app is quite good too. I ended up buying their Pro lifetime subscription and it has been worth the money sofar.

Its actually the page of one of the researchers (Michael Schwarz) who found the javascript keystroke timing attack (which is in the paper in the link). He is also one of the authors of the Meltdown/Spectre CPU Attack papers so the document is actually worth reading

I have had dual GPU in my last two laptops and it has worked just fine in ubuntu with the Nvidia-prime support. there. With Wayland you can now scale everything so the HiDPI matches your needs (it is still in experimental but works just fine)

https://www.tuxedocomputers.com/en makes Linux optimized laptops with nice design and good hardware. I have one of their infinity books myself and it gives me 5-7 hours of battery if I do heavy work like compiling or crypto mining. Their EULA even allows you to tinker with the hardware (like adding more memory/disk) without losing guarantee etc. Their support is good and they communicate very well in English even though they are located in Germany.

cloned the source and tried to build....failed. had to add -lm -ldl and remove -Werror in the Makefile in order to get it to even build. After that I got a binary "e" but running it just exits right away without any output. Seems like a bit more work needs to go into this editor before it is ready for the public :-)

tested on Ubuntu Linux
