#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?
@thedoctor @paul @rl_dane Well, I don't know if it is my personal deficiencies, but I find it easier to do it in text, it's clearer, easier to find, and I can do troubleshooting easier because I can see the logs when something didn't go the way I wanted them to.

@sotolf @thedoctor @paul

This is why I wish Jef Raskin had won at Apple, instead of Steve Jobs.

Steve gave us a user-friendly computer with limited utility.

Jef would've given us a slightly less user-friendly paradigm (text-based OS) that would have been much more empowering.

An entire generation raised on Jef's ideas would have been far more competent at using computers than the generation raised on the GUI.

@rl_dane @thedoctor @paul yeah I never grew up in the ui world, starting out with dos computers, uis is something that belong in programs and games to me, the os doesn't really need it, but of course that's my bias as someone that just works there.
@sotolf @rl_dane @thedoctor Yep, TUIs are peak UI
