Good day Hacker Public Radio Community. My name is JWP and it's been a while since I had a
|
|
presentation for y'all or a podcast. I hope y'all are all safe and well in the COVID-19 times.
|
|
Hey, recently I started using real VNC and I'm not exactly sure what its
|
|
freedoms are or not. It appears that it's free and they sell services around it.
|
|
It uses the normal VNC server command, but I'm not exactly sure what the licensing is or anything,
|
|
but they came up with a sort of a cloud solution that I find pretty well and you sort of have
|
|
to have a pretty good password on it and stuff. So if you do use that, if you do decide to
|
|
give it a try, be sure you have a pretty good email address and that email address is
|
|
two-factor authenticated and you have a pretty good password. But the way it works is that you set up
|
|
this real VNC server and you connect it to the cloud and for home use you can have up to five
|
|
clients like this or five server instances like this and so for me it was really easy because
|
|
unfortunately I have an iTunes Windows server and a Windows tablet and then I downloaded
|
|
the latest version of the Ubuntu and I had an old Fujitsu thin client that had four gigabytes of
|
|
RAM in it and two either one socket with two threads or two one socket dual socket thing but
|
|
it's got two threads on it for two logical CPUs and so I set it up and of course it's not a
|
|
RAM thing but a CPU thing because it's pretty much all 100% CPU. But the great thing about this
|
|
little thin client was that it had a M2 slot and it had a way to have an internal 2.5 hard drive
|
|
and it had a one PCIX slot so I could put a USB3 connection in the back so there's lots of
|
|
connections you can do all kinds of fun stuff with it and what I was fond of was that I wanted to play
|
|
anywhere if I was on the road or at work or whatever and with this real VNC cloud connect thing
|
|
I'm able to without going through my router or touching any router settings or anything
|
|
I'm able to access that VNC connection at home to that server in my basement and if I have the
|
|
Windows tablet or or iTunes server on I have access to that as well and it's pretty simple to
|
|
install it's pretty simple to install unfortunately you have to sit at the box in order to really
|
|
get it to work because you have to go through the sign-in process with real VNC and they require
|
|
you to have graphical access so I tried around play around for a couple hours trying to get it to
|
|
work from the SSH connection from my living room to my basement and finally I had to go downstairs
|
|
and hook them on or her up and just do it that way all righty well it's about the four minutes in
|
|
and that's my real VNC story guys had been a while since I did anything and I hope y'all are
|
|
fine and well and I'm looking forward to hearing maybe Tony Hughes talk about something that he's
|
|
found or something that he's doing I haven't heard from Tony in quite some time all right be safe
|
|
take care of where your mouse can all that great stuff
