#KDE's #KRDC makes it stupid easy to set up a profile to use ssh tunnelling by default. That's really nice. Only downside is that it doesn't automatically re-connect when you resume from suspend.

@rl_dane but that's what autossh is for!

Do one thing and do it well - Unix 👍

Do all the things! - KDE and Gnome and systemd too probably. 👎

@paul @rl_dane Is "provide a good UI for users to use their computer" not one thing?
Show threadPaul Wilde    3d ago

@thedoctor @rl_dane no, because it makes assumptions that a UI is something people want to use.

I prefer the "autossh exists, so let's use that but build a UI in our DE that can manage it" solution, rather than building their own thing

Yeah, the (what do you call it, "Not Made Here?" "Not Implemented Here?") phenomenon is a real thing with big DE projects.
