Lyrics:
Don't you worry
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
'Cause everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright
So don't you worry
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
'Cause everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright

It's gon' be al-, be alright, thumbs up vibe
Ready for the night, lit like a light
'Bout to take a flight, get higher than a kite
Floatin' on the sky, look mama, I can fly
I feel so alive, I'ma live my best life
Do just, do just what I like
Get that, get that, get that press
I was down now I (rise up)
Head up and my (eyes up)
I keep getting (wiser)
Then I realize (that everything will be)

O-o-o-o-o-o-o-kay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay, okay
This is how we do it, baby, this is what we say
Eso es lo que tú y yo vamo' a hacer

Don't you worry
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
'Cause everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright
So don't you worry
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
'Cause everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright

(It's gon' be, on' be okay) (Ey)
Work hard, play hard, that's the only way (Ey)
I'ma live my life like everyday's a holiday (Ey)
Time to celebrate (Ey), time to elevate
Hold up, wait
Tres, cuatro, cinco, seis
Take it to the top, top, top, like, "Ooh"
We don't stop, stop, keep on movin' makin' moves
Take a a shot, shot, take a shot, take a few
We gon' keep on doin' what we do
('Cause everyday will be)

O-o-o-o-o-o-o-kay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay, okay
This is how we do it, baby, this is what we say

The media in this post is not displayed to visitors. To view it, please go to the original post.

Music video by Alesso, Katy Perry performing When I'm Gone.

When I'm gone, I'm never really gone
You think you're movin' on
But it won't be for long, you'll see
When I'm gone, I'm never really gone
You think you're movin' on
But no one's gonna feel like, feel like

Thought it would be easy
Easy to forget me
Let go of the memories (Ah-ah-ah-ah)
Now your bed is empty
And you're wakin' up sweating
I'm still in your wild dreams

Late nights, callin' me, callin' me
Do anything to keep me close
Well, you should know it's gonna be, gonna be
So hard for you to let me go

When I'm gonе, I'm never really gonе
You think you're movin' on
But it won't be for long, you'll see
When I'm gone, I'm never really gone
You think you're movin' on
But no one's gonna feel like, feel like

Me on top of you
Touch you like I do
No, you'll never forget
When I'm gone, I'm never really gone
You think you're movin' on
But no one's gonna feel like, feel like

You're chasin' the danger
It's just in your nature
Look for me in strangers (Ah-ah-ah-ah)
All these pretty faces
No one can replace it
I'm always your favorite

Late nights, callin' me, callin' me
Do anything to keep me close
Well, you should know it's gonna be, gonna be
So hard for you to let me go

When I'm gone, I'm never really gone
You think you're movin' on (You think you're movin' on)
But it won't be for long, you'll see (When I'm gone)
When I'm gone, I'm never really gone (Never really gone)
You think you're movin' on
But no one's gonna feel like, feel like (No one's gonna, no one's gonna feel like me)

Me on top of you
Touch you like I do
No, you'll never forget
When I'm gone, I'm never really gone
You think you're movin' on
But no one's gonna feel like, feel like (Like me)

When I'm gone
When I'm gone

Taylor Swift ft. Chris Stapleton - I Bet You Think About Me (Taylor's Version)


The media in this post is not displayed to visitors. To view it, please go to the original post.

Lyrics:
3am and I’m still awake
I bet you’re just fine, fast asleep in your city
That’s better than mine
And the girl in your bed has a fine pedigree
And I’ll bet your friends tell you she’s better than me
Huh

Well I tried to fit in with your upper-crust circles
Yeah, they let me sit in back when we were in love
Oh they sit around talking ‘bout the meaning of life
And the book that just saved ‘em that I hadn’t heard of

But now that we’re done and it’s over
I bet you couldn’t believe
When you realized I’m harder to forget
Than I was to leave
And I bet you think about me

You grew up in a silver spoon gated community
Glamorous shiny bright Beverly Hills
I was raised on a farm, no it wasn’t a mansion
Just living room dancing and kitchen table bills
But you know what they say
You can’t help who you fall for
And you and I fell like an early spring snow
But reality crept in, you said we’re too different
You laughed at my dreams, rolled your eyes at my jokes

Mr. Superior Thinking
Do you have all the space that you need?
I don’t have to be your shrink to know that
You’ll never be happy
And I bet you think about me

I bet you think about me, yes, I bet
You think about me

Oh, block it all out
The voices so loud saying
Why did you let her go
Does it make you feel sad
That the love that you’re looking for
Is the love that you had

Now you’re out in the world, searching for your soul
Scared not to be hip, scared to get old
Chasing make-believe status
Last time you felt free was when none of that shit mattered
Cause you were with me

But now that we're done and it’s over
I bet it's hard to believe
But it turned out I’m harder to forget
Than I was to leave
And, yeah, I bet you think about me

I bet you think about me, yes
I bet you think about me
I bet you think about me when you're out
At your cool indie music concerts every week
I bet you think about me in your house
With your organic shoes and your million dollar couch
I bet you think about me when you say “oh my god
She’s insane, she wrote a song about me”
I bet you think about me

Red (Taylor’s Version)

"Snow On The Beach" is a captivating collaboration between Taylor Swift and Lana Del Rey from the album "Midnights." Co-written with Jack Antonoff and Lana Del Rey, the song beautifully encapsulates the surreal experience of unexpected love, blending the distinct styles of both artists. Its ethereal sound and poignant lyrics create a mesmerizing listening experience.

🎵 L Y R I C S 🎵:
One night a few moons ago I
Saw flecks of what could’ve been lights
But it might just have been you
Passing by unbeknownst to me
Life is emotionally abusive
And time can’t stop me quite like you did
And my flight was awful, thanks for asking
I’m unglued - thanks to you

And it’s like snow at the beach
Weird but fuckin’ beautiful
Flying in a dream
Stars by the pocketful
You wanting me
Tonight
Feels impossible
But it’s comin’ down, no sound, it’s all around
Like snow on the beach

This scene feels like what I once saw on a screen
I searched ‘aurora borealis green’
I’ve never seen
someone lit from within
Blurring out my periphery
My smile is like I won a contest
And to hide that would be so dishonest
And it’s fine to fake it ’til you make it
Til you do
Til it’s true

Now it’s like snow at the beach
Weird but fuckin’ beautiful
Flying in a dream
Stars by the pocketful
You wanting me
Tonight
Feels impossible
But it’s comin’ down, no sound, it’s all around
Like snow on the beach

I can’t speak, afraid to jinx it
I don’t even dare to wish it
But your eyes are flying saucers
From another planet
Now I’m all for you like Janet
Can this be a real thing, can it?

Are we falling like
snow at the beach
Weird but fuckin’ beautiful
Flying in a dream
Stars by the pocketful
You wanting me
Tonight
Feels impossible
But it’s comin’ down, no sound, it’s all around
Like snow on the beach

Hello, lovely fans! It’s Taylor here, and I’m so excited to share with you a special recording of my Speak Now World Tour Live from 2011! This concert was filmed at the stunning Staples Center in Los Angeles, where I had the absolute joy of performing for all of you on those unforgettable nights.

Now, I must admit, this video might look a bit different from what you’d expect. It’s a bit more of a handheld, amateur-style recording rather than a polished production. But that’s part of the charm, isn’t it? It captures the raw energy and excitement of the live show, just like being there in the crowd with all of you! I hope you can feel the love and passion that filled the arena as we sang and danced together.

A huge thank you to my incredible dancers and musicians who brought the stage to life with their talent and energy. You all made this tour so special, and I couldn’t have done it without you!

Join me as we relive the magic of that night, with all the songs and moments that made the Speak Now era so special. Thank you for being a part of this journey with me. Let’s make some beautiful memories together once again!

Enjoy the show! 💖

While covering the latest Israeli settler attack in the West Bank, Israeli soldiers assaulted my photojournalist @cyrilthps and detained my team. But our 2-hour detention revealed a lot about the motives of these Israeli soldiers: acting in service of the settler movement. W/ @AbeerSalmanCNN

Lichess Alternative Android Clients?

Lichess Alternative Android Clients?


Since lichess is open-source and most people who use chess.com over lichess complain lichess "doesn't look as good" I was wondering if there are third-party clients for lichess who are styled differently/ better? or if not, if there is a reason why there are no other clients.

Bicycle Repair: Replacing the tires on my MTB - Dub'ya Makes


The media in this post is not displayed to visitors. To view it, please go to the original post.

Riding my bike in the city all year round takes its toll. Last time I had it in the shop, I swapped all the wheel hardware except the tire 👉 youtube.com/watch?v=DZANs7diQk… - so of course this time, it's time to replace the tires.

What about Dynamic cursor color in Linux?


When we have our cursor in a blackish background, convert the cursor to be white, and when we are in a whitish background, convert to black. We can have the default black cursor with white outline to maximize visibility when in a different color background for now.

This isnt a feature in Windows or Mac either so if Linux does it, Linux would be the first to do it

I think this clip starkly illustrates what I've done to myself... playing since my teens I never learned proper technique for anything - cut to 40 years later & my picking hand is bouncing all over the place like this 🙄

The clip is about a year old, I'm hard at work on this & hope to be sharing any progress I may be able to eke out 😁

I haven't been able to verify if this works with non-water-based paints so proceed with that at your own discretion 😁 for water-based paints, though, this absolutely beats having to try & clear an already-clogged nozzle & throwing it out when that fails...

Yes, I know this doesn't conform to what the Ytubes calls a "short" - I don't care.

Handlebar Grip Trick(s) - Dub'ya shorts


The media in this post is not displayed to visitors. To view it, please go to the original post.

OK, so the actual trick I wanted to share was that of using dishsshshsh soap (as I put it in the video) as a kind-of lubricant 😁 Note: Handlebar grips are made of various rubbers & the trick may work differently depending on that - this silicone one, for example, fought me a lot harder than the previous ones made of a rubber material called Kraton... your results may vary.

Yes, I know my Shorts aren't what YT calls shorts. Don't care.

Given that I actually think it came out OK.

Show & Tell: Diamond Dogs Arm - Dub'ya Makes

Just a quick one, to show off my latest flea market find...

Contrary to what I muse about in the video, I think this may actually be some sort of Metal Gear swag - one of the texts on it says "Diamond Dogs R&D Artificial Limbs Laboratory", and MG is the only thing that comes up when throwing that into Google. I've never played it so I can't tell if the style fits MG aesthetics or whatever.

Yes, I know, they're called surgical gloves. I am also aware of the word "exhale". Anyway, easily put on this kind of gloves with this simple trick - these are something called hydro-polyurethane (dunno what that is but they're both durable & comfortable) but it obviously works just as well for vinyl, latex or whatever.

Yes, I know my Shorts aren't what YT calls shorts. Don't care.

Errol and Ricky


The media in this post is not displayed to visitors. To view it, please go to the original post.

This is not CGI, it's a classical optical illusion called the Ames room - cool, yes...?

Background: This particular Ames room was made for a Quaker Oats commercial, obviously. The commercial was directed by Errol Morris (who, in the video, is joined by magician & actor Ricky Jay), and the room designed & built by Steve Hardie. I have been unable to find the original commercial, or even what year it came out. I don't remember how I came into possession of the video, it was just lying around on a hard drive in this very low resolution - so, uh, apologies to the aforementioned parties if I'm stepping on any toes 😀

How to pre-add repositories to F-Droid in Android ROMs (Important changes in 2.0)


Why sometimes Linux is hard to switch to


Normally I always forget why I still keep thinking about switching back to Windows. Today was a great reminder.
Linux can be frustrating. This post is somewhat about awareness and partly about me learning about other peoples experiences.
I updated my CachyOS as usual. There were some system packages upgraded and I got the notification to reboot. Figuring I'd do it later I left after some time and the PC went to sleep. Upon returning the screen stayed black. Even upon forced reboot. Remembering I was using Limine with BTRFS snapshots I tried multiple previous snapshots but to no avail. I remember this happened before.
So now I face another reinstall..
This and having to dive into the deep end of terminal commands to get drivers, programs or games working can be quite frustrating. I understand why people are turned off and go back to Windows..

Onto NixOS for me. A big dive but it seems very stable which might be just what i need. I feel like the philosophy of NixOS combined with a graphical store to install programs and what not seems like a great solution.

What would your ultimate distro be like?

in reply to BandanaBug

I think the fault here is at Cachy OS for shipping experimental and advanced stuff as if it is ready for most users.

When I installed it recently on an old machine I purposefully stayed away from these fancy options and chose EXT4 + Grub. I admit having some bad memories about casually using btrfs also made my choice easy. No, most users don't want to have to baby sit their file system.

Anyway, what even is the point of a system restore functionality if it hasn't been thoroughly battle tested? They should have been behind an "ADVANCED/EXPERIMENTAL" disclaimer or something until it is very hard to break (including brtrfs not borking itself) and actually rescues users from a bad time rather than creating more problems.

CachyOS is built off Arch, a rolling-release distro. RR distros are notoriously unstable, and by design. It does exactly what it says on the tin.

I encountered this problem myself, and it was very stupid and annoying, but I had reason to re-install anyways. That's the cost of bleeding-edge packages. If you're unaware/unprepared for it, best not install anything arch-based. That's why most servers are Debian-based.

in reply to Jo4ted

They are unstable from a software compatibility perspective where every updates has a worrying chance of breaking compatibility with old "stale" software (software not managed/distributed by the distro itself), but that does not necessarily means unstable from a system stability perspective. If there was some kind of "system stability" scale for distros i would judge archlinux somewhere in the middle. And, with the nature of how linux development is you might actually get better system stability due to it having fresher software that better supports your hardware. That's the main reason to try and be a the bleeding edge of desktop linux, sometimes you only get a few shallow cuts and stuff actually functions better.

Any serious breakage such as an unbootable or unusable system is supposedly very rare and only affects a minor portion of the users, with any change going through a long process that hopefully catches it before any harm is done. I do realize the irony of building a system restore functionality for precisely this case and me pushing against it. Again, I just think it should be made nearly bulletproof before it's pushed into the users.

I've been using Arch for nearly 20 years and noted that things are a hell of a lot more stable than it used to be. It's also hard to excuse it since it has grown and matured so much, it's not a niche distro nobody knows anymore, even SteamOS is now based on it (though the immutability gives it a huge edge and essentially eliminates the aforementioned issue without relying on the, well meaning, but probably flawed system restore thingy).

Anyway, in my judgement, CachyOS being a downstream distro with a lot less manpower behind it should be quite a bit more careful when introducing such fundamental changes. I can't say how bad it is affecting their user, it's up to then to know that and if so hopefully change the defaults or at least better educate the user of the experimental nature of it.

Advice for upcycle build


The media in this post is not displayed to visitors. To view it, please go to the original post.

my home server that does everything died many weeks ago so i've been making due with VASTLY inferior backups that literally haven't received updates in over a decade because the manufacturers stop supported them.

i've rebuilt this server many times from old e-waste i had laying around and my last attempt to solicit feedback on the last rebuild yeilded some VERY useful advice so i'm hoping to lightening strikes twice.

my constraints are that i can only use hardware that i have on hand; with the exception of a motherboard since i don't have a functional one this time around, so i plan on buying one used off of craigslist or one of the many local repair shops.

also: deepseek tells me that this hardware are the only things i have on hand that are compatible with each other (and i'm crossing my fingers in the hopes that some of them still work):

  • CPU: socket LGA1200 era Intel Celeron
  • RAM: 64 gigs DDR4 3200 on 2 128 pin sticks
  • CASE: mini itx steel case
  • POWER: ATX standard
  • DRIVES: 4 SATA, 1 PATA, 2 NVME

i also have a wifi3 router/ap and a wifi4 router/ap combo boxes; these are the backups i'm currently using and they are crazy slow.

i need this build to do the same thing its predecessor did which were (ranked in order of importance):
- router (i used a pfsense virtual machine last time)
- wifi access point (i last used a wifi nic in AP mode)
- DNS adblocking (i used pfBlockerNG last time)
- live kernel patching (used ubuntu last time)
- vlan segmentation (via pfsense)
- vpn routing (via pfsense)
- jbod drives (aka no raid nor HA and permanently mounted on the host)
- backup capabilities (last used rsync initiated server side to laptops & - gmail)
- per device firewall rules (for the robot vacuum and security cameras)
- IDS & IPS (via pfsense)
- home cloud storage (last used pfsense + nfs + sshfs + ddns)
- multimedia system (last used kodi + old plasma tv)


Future Proofing Server


my home server needs to be reconstructed and i'm seeking ideas on how to future proof it. here's some ascii art in a screenshot to help describe how it's currently setup:

current server

description (left to right):
- laptops, smartphones, tables, etc connect to an access point configured on a windows 10 virtual machine (vm). the windows10 vm uses pci passthrough on the wireless adapter and this is done to get gigabit wifi speeds since intel's drivers won't allow linux to do this in ap mode; but will allow it just fine if you're using windows.
- requests from the wifi clients are passed via dns & ip masquerade to another virtual machine based on pfsense
- pfsense serves as the router, firewall, vpn, ad blocking & web hosting and it's also configured to use pci passthrough on the primary network interface to gap internet traffic from the server
- the center of the drawing shows how i perform data backups using a 3 gig wired connection with a hardware switch and i setup the host ubuntu server to manage dhcp on the secondary network interface & the devices that are connect to the switch. the data is stored using rsync and harddrives are setup to use an extremely large lvm made of several different types of hard drives.

i've rebuilt this server multiple times each time i encountered a "gotcha" or a surprise that i had not anticipated and it made some needful component stop working; so i'm seeking advice from Lemmy on how to redesign this to mitigate future surprises.

some of the surprises i've encountered so far are:
- the pfsense logs overfilled the root volume of the bsd based vm because logrotate was configured for linux. the image is hardcoded with a single volume so i will need to find a way to borrow some space from the backup volume using nfs and configure the logs to write there instead of locally.
- i have no key for the windows10 vm; so i'm forced to clone it's qcow image and manually configure the hotspot each time the 30 day free trial from microsoft expires. I intend to improve upon this creating an ansible job to rotate this virtual machine every 30 days automatically and include powershell based tasks to configure the hotspot in windows automatically
- intel limits the speed for linux native internet connection sharing to 100 megabits (already mentioned & fixed above)
- the local users home volume overfills when trying to take my google backups (already fixed)
- my cats & dogs LOVE the taste of cat6 capables and cat6 is required for 3 gigabit speeds (also fixed)

constraints:
- don't spend anymore $$$
- gigabit wifi speed is A MUST
- 3 gigabit backups speeds are a must too

CPU: socket LGA1200 era Intel Celeron

DRIVES: 4 SATA, 1 PATA, 2 NVME


Just wanted to mention that PATA hard drive may need to sit this one out, depends on whether you want to buy more stuff beyond a motherboard. LGA1200 means you're using motherboards built from roughly 2020+, it would be highly unusual to find a motherboard with a PATA port in this decade or even last decade. So to use that drive inside the server you're looking at buying some type of adapter (I've seen PATA-to-SATA adapters but can't vouch for any in particular) or a PCIe card with PATA ports if those exist. Or to use it externally you'd have to hunt around for an old IDE-to-USB enclosure or some other type of USB adapter to have the drive sit outside the server.

I have a few old PATA drives myself but actively using them seems like more trouble than it's worth

If your case can mount the sata drives and your power supply has a 24 pin, four pin and enough sata connectors for your drives then all you need is a ddr4 motherboard, cpu and cooler.

If you’re stuck on off the shelf stuff then maybe a b550 and some am4 cpu, if you can mess around with weird shit there’s a bunch of odd sample intel cpu/motherboard combos floating around the aliexpress sphere.

Some of the am4 boards have multiple nics so that’s probably worthwhile for your use case.

RTFM


Hello Linux community.

I'd like to take a moment to explain what I hope will be a simple concept (so really it's more of a reminder) that everyone should say least know and understand.

Not everyone (myself included) learns best by RTFM. Some of us need a guiding hand or to watch a video instead. It's not that we're lazy or don't like reading, it's just that it doesn't work efficiently enough.

in reply to Shayeta

"They". That's one sort of people who does RTFM the wrong way in my opinion. If I do RTFM, even for obvious simple ones, I most likely point to where to look at, ideally with a link. I do not RTFM literally, but saying there is some documentation and pointing to it usually. To me just saying RTFM (literally with this acronym) is rude, especially if someone already struggles and asks basic questions. Not everyone is "they".

As a rule I don't tell people to RTFM, because it has some rude dismissive connotations, although I will share when it helps me solve a problem I've been butting up against that would've been solved if I had just read the docs.

That being said, I do encourage people to read the docs, as others' walkthroughs can be misinformational, and are usually tied to specific setups or software and hardware versions. It requires learning how to wade through a lot of information to find the info you need, but the info is usually guaranteed to be the most current and reliable.

That all being said, I'm more than happy to help when people want it.

Why Activists from 11 Countries Sailed to Cuba


The media in this post is not displayed to visitors. To view it, please go to the original post.

After five days at sea, the Nuestra América flotilla sailed into Havana harbor carrying 14 tons of humanitarian aid, including 73 solar panels, medicine, food, and hygiene supplies. The aid was delivered by 32 people from more than 11 countries.

They came from the United States, Brazil, Italy, Europe, and beyond. Some have been bringing aid to Cuba for years, stuffed into suitcases on solidarity brigades.

"My government is the one imposing these cruel sanctions and economic warfare on the Cuban people," said an activist from the United States. "And this has been happening for over 60 years."

“The world owes Cuba,” said Thiago Ávila, a Brazilian activist. “Cuban doctors were among the first to fight Ebola in Africa. They went to Italy during COVID-19. That's why Italians are on this boat.”

Cursed setup - Proxmox VE on a laptop, with KDE Plasma on top of it.


The media in this post is not displayed to visitors. To view it, please go to the original post.

Proxmox is a virtualization platform based on Debian. It's not supposed to have a GUI, the management is either done via web UI or SSH.

But since it basically is just Debian with some more stuff, I installed Plasma on top of it.

It is also not supposed to use WiFi since that won't work with Linux bridges. But, after removing the adapter from /etc/network/interfaces (which gets automatically added any time I make a change through PVE web UI) and rebooting, I was able to make use of the adapter inside Plasma. And also create a bridge on proxmox, add IP to it, enable IP routing, and NAT everything coming from that subnet (used for VMs) through the WiFi adapter.

I just wish the noVNC could dynamically resize VM display like with VirtualBox after installing guest additions.

There is no use case. It can be done, that's it. I also tried to install Proxmox on my phone under Limbo PC emulator (QEMU-based), but I couldn't avoid random kernel panics during installation.

Also, Proxmox with 10GiB of available RAM (8+4, 2 for GPU), where the host uses up 3GiB is not really ideal. And on a weak dual-core CPU, on top of that.

Edit: But now I got an idea.
Now, there are issues. The simple solution will create multiple SSH connections that will never leave the laptop - that is - useless encryption, aside from other likely issues. The main thing is extremely easy set-up.
OK.
Thing 0: Exchange and authorize SSH keys between host and VMs.
Thing 1: Create another ext4 or whatever volume on LVM, and mount it on host (probably better to have VM with large disk - why should every VM have SSH access to host). This will be used for file sharing.
Thing 2: Mount it on all desired VMs using SSHFS.
Thing 3: Install waypipe (like ssh -X, but for Wayland) to VMs and host.
Thing 4: Create shortcuts on host desktop for desired GUI applications (which will run on VMs), prefixed by waypipe command. E.g.: waypipe -c none ssh user@debian-main.home.arpa firefox.

Waypipe works with vsock as well, which might be useful in this situation, but I have no idea how that's used, and if it is relevant here. Based on the man page, it does sound like it though.
But anyway, mostly just a concept.

[Question] (Wayland, KDE Plasma) How can I use another PC as a second monitor?


Idea


Primary laptop will run DE with 1 screen (its own).
Second laptop is to be used as a secondary (extended) monitor for primary laptop.
Both laptops will run Linux.

Tested solutions and their issues

krfb-virtualmonitor:


Creates virtual display and runs a VNC server, exactly as desired.
Issue: Slow as hell. FPS become SPF even on 0.3ms 1Gbps point-to-point connection.

KDE Connect virtual display


Creates virtual display and runs an RDP server, exactly as desired.
Issue(s): Really needs that high quality connection to run reasonably well. That isn't much of a problem, I can use a cable. The biggest problem is, no matter the settings, both with Remmina and KRDC the mouse pointer does not show up. Silly issue, but yeah.
Also, the Debian 13 KDE Connect package is too outdated to work with this, but I was able to use it in KDE Neon and Arch.


So, basically what I want exists, just with a major bug. Not seeing the mouse pointer is quite a problem.

Also, at first I hoped to use the already existing "network", my phone's hotspot. I can get 300Mbps and 3ms between phone and client. But between 2 clients? 400ms and with ping I see 1/3 of packets being duplicated.
