  • If you’re just trying to familiarize yourself with GUI programming in general, the fastest is going to be Gnome Builder or QT Creator (depending on which DE you’re working in). Both are great tools, and make it super easy to understand what goes into all the different pieces of making a GUI app.

    If you want something more portable to mobile, maybe Ionic or Cordova would be interesting to you.

    Love that you put it in quotes as if to be sarcastic. Hilarious.

    This is basically how the entire Internet works, but you know that from your post. Surely you also know that traffic gets “routed” from place A to B all the time without SSH as well.

    So if you want to “route” a remote instance back to another place, you:

    1. Set routing rules on the intended origin
    2. Set default route on the remote client
    3. Set restricted firewall rules so both the origin and client are allowed to talk to each other
    4. Traffic is routed

    Another alternative is using Tailscale and setting an exit node on your network, which is essentially the same thing.

    But you already knew that, and that’s why you chimed in with your comment. Stupid me.

    How fucking stupid must I look, huh?




  • It’s not that there’s anything inherently wrong with this, but it’s not the most in line with your goals. If you’re worried about data loss, you could have made a volume that spans both drives like RAID1/Z1, or you could have setup some clever data spanning with BTRFS or likewise. Then you’d be killing two birds with one stone for the Timeshift portion.

    If you want safe backups, you need a separate backup drive at a bare minimum.






  • If you have a second clean drive to work with, you can clone it there and just change your boot target in your BIOS. This is the simplest way.

    If you’re simply concerned about config incompatibilities and finding what will break (not hardware), you could clone down to a VM image and boot that then run the upgrade, and boot it again.

    If you’re concerned about hardware issues, you could clone down to a liveUSB compatible image (skipping heavy media files) and boot that from an external device and see how it runs.

    It’s a bit of an early release to test with your daily driver, so it’s going to be a nightmare. Just a heads up.
