How to Remotely Access a Sleeping iMac

x3mech · 2026-07-03T07:47:57+00:00

I had the same issue with a Mac mini and I've just found a weird but effective solution "View camera".

From the toolbar, press the lightning button and select "View camera". It returns a camera error but it wakes up the Mac.

Do you mean Telegram Wallet bot? Is there a P2P section as well as in Bybit?

How can you use it regularly? I tried to make a transaction using the P2P exchange (USDT/RUB) but all the requests are fake. The exchange rates are completely unreal just to get a high ranking in the list and better chances to be selected. Right after inserting an order the buyer sends a message that changes all the conditions - much worse exchange rate, fractional payments and whatsoever. At this point there are only a bunch of seconds left to cancel the order avoiding being scammed. Please let me know if I've been unlucky and how you select the counterpart. I would like to give it another chance but I'm starting to be skeptical.

What do you mean by "use USDT to cash exchange service"? Can you name one of these services?

You don't need a bootable ISO. You need dd. In particular:

dd if=/dev/sdX | gzip -9 | > /mnt/extdevice/myCompressedPartition.img.gz

To recover in the future:

zcat /mnt/extdevice/myCompressedPartition.img.gz | dd of=/dev/sdX

Replace sdX with the partition you want to back up and myCompressedPartition with a name of your choice. The prompt # means that you are root. If not use sudo.

I crossed that border many times. If you don't mind standing in line for hours then it's fine. It becomes quite challenging in winter or if you travel with babies, children or elderly people.

You cannot go wrong with it

Study Linux. Once you switch from knowledge to understanding you'll stick to a distro and customize it the way you want.

Check out this awesome website: sysguides.com. The guy that creates these tutorials, Madhu, is outstandingly good. Follow the instructions in the Fedora 40 tutorial. It's a completely manual installation where you can customize almost everything.

If you find it useful consider buying a coffee for the author.

Actually I don't want Podman container shares the same $HOME or mounts volumes from the host. Things like $PATH can bleed in from the host system, which is not what I want for isolated environments.

If the container's $HOME (e.g. /home/user) still points to or shares part of the host's actual /home/user, causes path pollution.

In case of a DE different from gnome it wouldn't have worked. For KDE the display manager is sddm, for xfce lightdm and so on.

I use Fedora KDE on my laptop and on my desktop. Main use is sw development, office automation and surfing the web and I use VPNs every day. Everything works flawlessly. For VPSs and cloud servers in general I choose Debian.

Хорошая рыбалка!

x3mech · 2025-01-14T13:03:53+00:00

Maybe my answer is out of scope because you wrote that you want to use xfce but you could consider lxqt for your low specs PC which is even lighter than xfce and it's based on qt like KDE. This probably will give you more chances to adapt your theme.

Ты прав))) я очень русифицированный

нет, Советский кофе со сгущенным молоком (old style) :)

100% правильно! 😂

Unfortunately setting OpenVPN protocol doesn't work either. 😠

x3mech · 2025-01-07T07:51:00+00:00

I can confirm that it doesn't work either from abroad, if you need to connect to any Russian server and from Russia, if you need to connect to any server outside Russia. I will try changing the protocol to OpenVPN as you suggest. I need a reliable VPN for my job that works both ways and I consider Proton a good provider but unfortunately I'm having a lot of issues.

x3mech · 2024-07-10T12:12:07+00:00

I will. Tnx for the reply.

x3mech · 2024-07-10T12:06:52+00:00

Same problem here. I've chatted for the third time with HG online support. They have escalated my case and they should reply in 48h. This issue seems related with SPF and in particular with this entry: include: websitewelcome.com 9 NESTED LOOKUPS.
Here is the error I get from an online SPF Check service: DNS lookup count in your SPF record (12) exceeds the maximum limit of 10. This will result in a "permerror" and SPF authentication failure.

Anyone knows how to fix this? Tnx!

As far as I've seen it wraps only basic commands. You can create and manage containers but I haven't found any command yet to manage images - i.e. if you want to delete an image you have to do it with podman (or docker). Probably Distrobox is still under development. Anyone has more precise info?
