And does it over an encrypted connection, unlike telnet and ftp.

you can also do things like forward x sessions

But that's X's feature.

thx @Ƶero
ima duck out n let you 2 split hairs 😄

uh, no, it's a feature you can use because X transfers data through sockets

Yes, it's a feature from X. What I said.

not exclusive to x

anything that passes data through sockets you can run through ssh

@DanielKO What kind of systems do you work on?

Which is what I said was one of ssh's few features, tunneling.

I work mostly with GNU/Linux.

tunneling and fowarding are different

anyway, splitting hairs

ditto, I'm >99% GNU/Linux

and I make insane use of SSH 😄

Nah, they're not.

Could just xhost it manually.

a forward is something you can set up through a tunnel, but a tunnel itself is not necessarily a fowrard. The difference is a forward involves mapping something from one host on one side to somewhere on the other host

EG I could forward port 80 on machine A to port 8000 on machine B through a tunnel, but just a tunnel doesn't do that you need to run a forward through it

that's the distinction I'm making

and I make that distinction because that's functionality a lot of remote access tools don't offer. Forwarding through a tunnel is a badass feature that just comes standard with SSH (as long as your forwarding target system supports it)

Whether it's calling `connect()` or `bind()/listen()/accept ()`.

what time zone are you in?

mid day here (14:16)~

I'm in my bed's timezone.

hahah well said

UTC is a social construct!

I identify in epoch time

speaking of UTC, I have my system time set to UTC, and I recently booted into windows becasue I had to run some client to administer a very specific IP Camera, and I found out windows doesn't support system time as UTC

I swear it used to... but the last time I really used windows was so far back maybe I'm wrong.

It doesn't. You can try to hack it to use UTC in the registry, but last I heard about it was, some system services malfunction when you do it.

The solution is to never boot into Windows.

I tried my best to run the app in wine but it was some Active X thing and it was looking like no ammount of wine hacks was going to get it to work. Then after I was done it took windows like 2 hours to shut down becuase it was running all the updates since the last time I booted windows (I think December because I had to electronically sign a document with Adobe Acrobat)

@M4Gunner how's your little project?

i got a little starter pack of modules, sensors, resistors, etc. with practice projects , and then garbo 30w soldering iron, multimeter, and cheap dremel

and i picked out a smol tracked chassis

and im still having some display issues here and there

so ill probly do a bunch of small learny projects for awhile and work on the tank longterm

what about the coding?

It looks like the actual code involved will be pretty simple
