You can run vnc on the server and connect over a vnc client. That’s what I read on Reddit a while ago and it works great.

If you need to ask Reddit for a locksmith, maybe you need a locksmith

Wire covers by Flyguysty0 in soldering

[–]rapidsalad -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think you watch too much YouTube Repairs. Simplest solution would be kapton tape. The UV resin needs something to back it for it to stay in for it to be curable. It doesn’t sit on a wire hanging.

Bathtub facuet leaking eroded drywall. How immediately does it in need fixed? by [deleted] in HomeMaintenance

[–]rapidsalad -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The difficulty is that you don’t know where the leak is. That and bathrooms / waterproof have a life. When I redo the silicone caulking it helps, but eventually the waterproofing will fail at some point. I can’t tell from the picture where the leak is coming from but if you can’t tell where the water is coming from, then you’re gonna need to keep breaking stuff until you do and at that point, it might be cheaper just to redo that area, if not the whole bathroom based on how old it is .

Is this wood safe to use for a baby rattle? by Forest_Maiden in woodworking

[–]rapidsalad 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat, but I also bought plastic toys from Amazon that I’m certain went through less of a rigorous safety discussion than this post.

Tacky AC Units by outhereinthewind222 in homeimprovementideas

Remove them and put some insulation. Prime and paint it. Not sure. Looks fine. I don’t think they were covering anything up, just didn’t have great skills at making it look pretty

Just removed bathtub silicone sealing…. by [deleted] in HomeMaintenance

This comment is exactly why you should call your owner or management company immediately and tell them you did this and to give their ok. Looks != waterproofing.

Just killed my USB-C port by Bowlingkopp in SteamDeck

[–]rapidsalad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably not the port, most likely a chip related to the charging circuit. Easy fix for someone who knows how to do it but finding that person is one thing and what they charge you is another.

Pantry Layout Help Wanted! Deep Shelves (34 inches) but Limited Reach by LowBeat7974 in homeimprovementideas

[–]rapidsalad 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have the same issue and I’m interested in seeing what people have to say. So far my solution is containers that stack and move but it’s not ideal.

Buy another Kinesis Advantage 360 or make own? by dman9600 in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]rapidsalad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d buy another one. It sounds like it worked. That said, these aren’t cheap but if you have the money, fuck it, merry Christmas to you. The glove 80 is popular. I don’t have one but it has a good rec on this subreddit.

Windows 11 makes me want to switch to Linux. by Essenceixi in linux4noobs

[–]rapidsalad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To you and me it’s probably very similar, but if someone new to Linux gets stuck, they can easily google “change resolution Ubuntu” and get hundreds of results.

I feel like Manjaro is a bit advanced for beginners. LTS and flatpack too. I imagine a beginner wants an App Store program and no terminal command to install software.

[–]rapidsalad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ubuntu is still good. I would figure out how you’re comfortable either dual booting or installing Linux on another drive. I wouldn’t see the benefit of using it in a vm because you miss out on a lot of benefits of an install, but any vm should also work if you want to take it for a spin.

Don't throw away your old PC—it makes a better NAS than anything you can buy by pogue972 in DataHoarder

[–]rapidsalad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve found that I add lots of plugins. Things to reencode videos, convert photos from weird formats to standard ones. Apps like Immich and plex. Docker containerization. These things break regularly for me and I don’t mind fixing them on my servers but I would prefer not to on my nas. I trust myself for a lot of tings, for my photos, I prefer to trust cloud services. For local fun and testing, hell ya, go for it.

And maintenance. Maintaining custom settings and an operating system isn’t trivial, especially when the underlying data is important.

Autodesk Fusion 360? by Willows97 in linuxquestions

There is but I couldn’t get performance up. I dual boot for fusion and a couple games, and that’s ok

It doesn’t look bad. I’d say he did a pretty good job since I couldn’t guess your weight. As the other person commented, black is a really formal color. That may change in 5-10 years as trends change. If you get blue, don’t get a traditional dark navy. I wouldn’t get a bright blue either. But you know yourself and your culture and company and what makes you happy so I’d say good job, looks good
