I also make my weekly backups roughly every 3 months. Which reminds me I should do it… tomorrow.

Anyway, last time I lost some data it was when memory card I thought I had backed up died. I managed to gather most of the data from another memory card, 2 laptops, old HDD and a backup DVD as most of the files were scattered around other devices.

Everything from 9 months ago, including notifications from 9 months ago.

Maybe we had yearly backups?

Hey.
So, it would seem I gave you a solution that’s still more complicated than it needs to be.
You see, I was using Debian at the time I initially played with this, but now I am testing it on Arch. When you check the man pages, you’ll see an interesting option available on Arch.

So…
Waypipe on Debian 13 (latest) is version 0.9.2.
Meanwhile on Arch we have 0.11.0.

There’s an interesting new option, --xwls.

Use xwayland-satellite to run X clients under Wayland; for server or ssh modes. This binds X display sockets for the next available display number and sets the DISPLAY environment variable for the program run under waypipe server. This option will only work if xwayland-satellite is installed and in PATH.

Which means that on Debian you have to:

1. Compile xwayland-satellite
2. Add xwayland-satellite to directory in PATH
3. Compile new version of waypipe from source
4. Add it to directory in PATH, at least for server

While on Arch you just pacman -Sy xwayland-satellite waypipe.

Then it works with waypipe --xwls ssh user@IP program.
It seems to have been added in 0.10.6.

A fox. It (I don’t know whether male or female) was in a city. It didn’t seem too fearful of people, so I tried following it. When we got to a darker area it sat down, and so did I.

When it got up, I followed it, ending up on volleyball playground. With sand. The fox started running around in it. I noticed it would kick some sand, then jump there.
So I squat down, and threw a handful of sand to the side. This did work. It approached me to arm’s reach, but would spring away at any movement. I accidentally scared it off when the fox circled very closely around me and I turned around - I was worried about getting peed on. Foxes do that a lot.

Some 40 minutes later, I lost it at a construction site.

I completely lost the sight of it after I circled around to enter there.

Anyway, not a picture, but I also have some bit of video:

All is B&W because I used IR camera. I don’t know how much of that foxes see, but I hope it’s at least far less than if I used regular flash.

Try it in a (proper) computer. I’ve had a phone complain, but it mounted on Linux. And after whatever magic fsck.fat does, it mounted on phone too.
I also had a SanDisk fail read-only.

Rip’n share sounds like a good phrase for pirate site.

What I mean is the mouse cursor isn’t there when I move it over there. Well, isn’t visible. It still interacts with objects.

Same as this person’s issue: https://discuss.kde.org/t/show-cursor-on-virtual-display-kde-connect-krdc/43421

At this point I feel too guilty to even mention it when Lemmy has issues, as it is frequent. I just wait and see what happens.

It wasn’t just Lemmy. Even sdf.org was inaccessible (not responding to ping either). Perhaps admin just checked from local network.

please take a look and tell me what you think

Sorry if it seems like I do, but I in fact do not have a brain.
I just found this tool gets the job done, and that’s it.

I typically just use it in a pretty stupid manual way.

local$ waypipe -c zstd=6 ssh username@IP
remote$ export DISPLAY=:90
remote$ ./xwayland-satellite :90 &
remote$ xfce4-panel

Even the xfce4-panel discovery was an accident.
I was using waypipe before knowing about xwayland-satellite. I wanted to run an X program, so in the same shell I typed vncserver to, well, launch a VNC server. That invoked xfce4-session, BUT since the WAYLAND_DISPLAY was set, XFCE DE attached to waypipe rather than XTigerVNC, launching a full remote desktop over my local one.
And out of that, xfce4-panel proves pretty useful. I can easily launch other programs using GUI, and also see widgets on that panel.

Here’s what I mean, if that sounds confusing:

Plasma panel (bottom) is local, XFCE panel (top and middle bottom) are remote.
Right, and you’re probably wondering why that app launcher at the top looks shattered. Well, both can’t be opened at once. If the application launcher goes out of focus, it closes.
But also, I use the shatter effect in KDE Plasma, so it doesn’t go away immediately. This is just as close as I could get with screenshot timing.

Nah, Mallard can do that just fine: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LNER_Class_A4_4468_Mallard#1938_speed_record

What an interesting domain the image is hosted on.

Just a quick note if someone is looking for X programs, you can use xwayland-satellite with waypipe. Set your DISPLAY variable, launch xwayland-satellite with the display number you just used, and X programs should just work as with usual rootless Xwayland (so no window with another window inside of it).

Aurizztic.

I was just looking if something like that exists yesterday, but got disappointed. Nice timing.
