On the topic of bypassing school restrictions.

Every day, for his last 2 years of high school my sibling remoted into the KasmVNC server he has at home.

This was during a time when sysadmins were keen against any new circumventions. New methods usually gets blocked within the week. To keep it hidden, he had it behind a <something_academic_sounding>.org domain.

What did he do with absolute freedom? Mostly browse HN and Twitter.

If anyone at Kasm happens upon this, thanks for improving lives :)

I had a strange call with a support rep recently.

They sounded a tinge strange, like they’ve almost crossed the uncanny valley, only to succumb at the final 3% stretch.

I was suspicious, but their ability to understand my complex request and the relatively low latency make an LLM -> TTS or e2e voice model unlikely.

This post finally solved the mystery.

A seldom appreciated benefit of gruvbox: like vim binds, it's available everywhere. If it has a theming system, somebody ported gruvbox to it.

Why would you want to ssh into a machine that's not yours? That's a violation of the Computer Frauds and Abuse Act, up to 10 years in prison!

Tragedy of the aggregate.

There are existing solutions for queues in Postgres, notably pgmq.
