  • Yes. This is home-made out-of-band management, like HP’s iLO, Dell’s iDRAC, or generic IPMI. Not only is it a virtual KVM (keyboard/video/mouse), you can pass the host’s power button through this device so you can remotely power on or reset a hung or powered-off system, or mount and boot from a virtual floppy or ISO to completely reinstall the remote system.





  • it doesnt even make sense because by definition both parties are semetic.

    Oof, either you’re just grossly misinformed and performing a cringey “ackchually”, or you’re anti-semitic yourself and perpetuating anti-semitic rhetoric.

    While yes, both are Semitic people, the term ‘anti-semitic’ was specifically coined by Nazi Germany to make their genocide seem like it had a basis in science. They specifically used it to refer to Jews. Nobody uses “anti-semitic” to mean all semites except hate groups and holocaust deniers who are trying to say “see, it doesn’t even mean Jews specifically! Jews are just playing the victim!”

    I will assume you’re simply ignorant or misinformed, but feel free to correct me if this was actually an intentional dog-whistle.













  • I only back up things that would make me sad if I lost it or cause me a lot of time-sensitive work. Personal data files and configuration files. Media? I wouldn’t sweat it if my media drive got corrupted by malware or a hack or a lightning strike. I’d just live with a smaller library until I get things re-download again. And I’d be ok if I can’t find a handful of the rarer things. Pictures of my family? Backed up locally and on a remote server with immutable backups. Configuration files? Synced with a remote git repository.



  • This doesn’t answer your question, since it already seems answered, but an additional step that may be helpful is to use a completely separate firefox derivative browser for one of those tasks.

    I personally use Firefox for most of my daily browsing, but I have LibreWolf installed with separate configuration options (different proxy, etc). I could do the same with multiple Firefox profiles, but I prefer the separate icon as a reminder that my workflow is different in this particular browser.
