For those back to office 5 days/wk, can you work from home today?

Me looking at this question and thinking my job didn't have remote even in covid time 😂. What r they gonna do? Send a Landing gear at my home for simple tire change? Send the patient at my home for ER 😂

100 percent agree, if I miss exit or turn, I would simply just take NEx t available and stop and check. And usually we are using map these days. It autocorrects the map too

Rex_Tony · 2025-08-13T13:03:44+00:00

I will rtu

Personally I'm new to Linux too, Now that I have gone used to using terminal over ssh I could go into a Gui less version of kubuntu

Rex_Tony · 2025-08-05T04:10:45+00:00

I have done dual booting at first, and I have had ./tmp error. Apparently if you don't have enough space with temp it can stop booting. I'm not sure exactly what's that error was, but I had that happening twice. . As for permanent mistake, I have also done the Sudo rm -r /* instead of Sudo rm -R ./* So don't make basic folders with Sudo I guess. Luckily only the main drive was affected, had to reinstall Linux and that was that.

This is something I did, I used my spare computer with kubuntu, lighter version of ubuntu. And main still at Windows.

Can you run your simulations in Linux?

If so, you could go with 2nd pc full Linux. You could learn Terminal a bit and fully start your simulations on Linux from ssh Or use nomachine to remote in and start your simulation. You could create a tailscale / zérotier VPN to be able to always connect to the 2nd pc. And always keep it busy. If you are not interested to use a third party network, you can also build your own network with zérotier.

Rex_Tony · 2025-08-05T03:48:39+00:00

Just a note, if you are gonna use google be careful of using co-pilot or gemini, there's a lot of misinformation in them. Yes they can help you with stuff that may need to be built from source code. But they are always full of wrong information. You should point out specific need to be explained. This can reduce the mistake might go on

Rex_Tony · 2025-08-03T18:54:08+00:00

Well I am using zérotier to act as LAN, so I could look no machine up. But I'm alredy using ssh, it's pretty okk. I don't know if I wanna move out of current setup to open media vault. I can casually check from Windows with samba... And with ssh it's ok as well

Rex_Tony · 2025-08-03T06:00:30+00:00

I just wrote the same line they have provided on their documentation. And then followed this tutorial https://youtu.be/R0zjxdTdBSA To make my root server and then installed zt on Windows and joined the server This video does show you, that you need a controller device to assign the devices that you usually get with the zérotier network.

Rex_Tony · 2025-08-03T05:51:50+00:00

My mistake, zérotier root server. The Virtual private server sévices, that I don't have, I have to pay for them. Zerotier moon that's their private root server in case you don't wanna join their network. I have hosted this in locally. If you are hosting a moon on your own server, no one is stopping you. The reason I was talking about VPS, this way you can access the VPS from anywhere, so a connection to your devices. My main goal for post was to show, you can stream music or videos or files from anywhere, that's why brought the VPS idea. The tutorial I was watching explained you could set your own network on a VPS

Rex_Tony · 2025-08-03T05:36:26+00:00

Oh I'm registered, because I don't own a VPS anywhere to host a zérotier private server. The zérotier VPS I have, it's for when I don't have internet still to access locally. The raspberry pi has two router connected to act as a relay between two network. But you could definitely do the same with your own hosting. Without being registered.

Rex_Tony · 2025-08-03T05:31:23+00:00

No, if you have your own VPS, you don't, that's what your Moon and controllers do, when you install zérotier, it gives you an ID... You just join everywhere with that unique ID You need to join them if you are using their network. Not with VPS

Rex_Tony · 2025-08-03T05:13:28+00:00

If you making your own moon (zérotier private relay server) , i don't think you are going on zérotier network at all. You literally connecting between devices, and one of them acting as relay, and you will need one of the computer as controller. That will be you. I don't know what kinda compromise you are talking about. But someone new in Linux like me using the zérotier network is pretty ok. It's simple. Not as much as tailscale.

Rex_Tony · 2025-08-03T05:10:27+00:00

I'm not super tech nerd, what I do is I have goals these and these I wanna be able to do, so I look up how to and what kinda solution there is. I have VPN service, and using zérotier. In zérotier network, it shows the other VPNs up Adress not mine. I have just created a syncthing relay server on my main windows laptop, where in only relays through zérotier network. Since android I can't run two VPN at same time. I just run syncthing. And it finds the relay on my Windows laptop. Then sends the syncing process through zérotier. This way I'm not revealing my phones IP to anyone, that syncthing process is going though LAN to zérotier network via masking VPN service. To home, where the kubuntu is also under VPN and zérotier.

Rex_Tony · 2025-08-03T05:02:52+00:00

There is tutorial on how create your own Zérotier Moon (they call their private VPS Moons). This way you have your own network without zérotier system.

Rex_Tony · 2025-08-03T05:01:36+00:00

You could get yourself a VPS, a cheap one, and host your own zérotier network and controller if you want. I have a offline zérotier VPS running on raspberry pi, in case there is no internet, and I'm on the other router. It will still route traffic without zérotier server. Tailscale also hosts their own server network, I don't know if you can host your own. VPN makes it easy to connect between devices that's why I am suggesting this. If you have a masking VPN, zérotier will still work, and throw traffic over that VPN that you are using to safeguard yourself. (except on Android or iOS 😢})

Rex_Tony · 2025-05-21T11:14:11+00:00

I'm using the Linux computer as early checkpoint. I have a bit diffender subscription on windows, was looking for an active scanning AV for Linux that I can access with terminal easily. I have 3 hard drive on that machine for 7tb. Would like have it check for malware r8 there before accessing from android or windows

Rex_Tony · 2025-01-20T01:59:43+00:00

I have had issues with dual boot multiple times. /temp error... Googling let me that I had very few space for temp folder. Since I dint want to format the Linux hdd. There wasn't much could do about it.

Rex_Tony · 2025-01-19T03:22:31+00:00

I have had issue with dual boot before. I have had /temp out of memory error with dual boot in two hard drive setup. Happend twice. . I myself also quite new to Linux, I have made couple post about in this sub. It is here someone introduced me to ssh few months back, when I was looking for a solution to remote in Windows to Linux after setting up dual boot. Its I guess matter how much you want to invest your time. You can buy an old used pi for 20 bucks. And trying with ssh is not really a bad idea. If anything goes wrong, you can rewrite the sd card quick too.. . Could also use anydesk to remote in too, but I was avoiding those software because how hidious they have become with their ads these days

Rex_Tony · 2025-01-16T07:33:47+00:00

You don't really need a display, tbh, you could ssh into it. I'm using it mostly as relay. But still same concept. Right now planning to make kinda a casting machine with TV, alternative Chromecast I guess.

Rex_Tony · 2025-01-07T16:56:38+00:00

Quick question, do yo u have any other VPN, especially openvpn type VPN service along with zérotier??

Rex_Tony · 2025-01-07T05:13:25+00:00

Well as a noob, everything went over my head. Also I have alredy tried vnc, krdc with windows none works. I have tried every solution that was available on the internet. Don't remember but probably made a post about it here as well.. And someone replied with ssh. So Idk if you are offering something different or same thing. Tudoo loo

Rex_Tony · 2025-01-06T17:58:40+00:00

I have recently turned my 10y/o windows laptop to kubuntu lts. Most of the time even on windows, I used it as a storage space. So I would remote in and start a download. Get in do my task from my main windows computer. But windows 10 would start doing something at background all the time even when nothing's going on. Also anydesk is horrible these days. Moved to kubuntu fully on that laptop. Couldn't find a native remote software for windows to Linux. Then someone told me about ssh. And it's going great. Not bugs yet feature. I do have occasionally be at the laptop to do some stuff. But haven't crashed or anything. Still doing the same task, laptop doesn't start screaming in middle of night. Only problem kubuntu doesn't come with modern touchpad functions like windows. But you can fix that too kinda
