Woo, yay and houpla!

That rocks harder than the quo. If all the funky formulae work on that, we have exactly the answer Friz was looking for! And I can use it at work, thereby pulling another miracle outta my arse. If only they knew where my knowledge came from! Woo 5punk!



Thanks webclam!

Hard. Them google dudes am clever cunts. No wonder they're so fucking rich. Bastards.

Doesn't support Safari .. I'll have to try it out next time I'm on le PC.

www.logmein.com is being all shit and limiting the size of the desktop on the free accounts, anyone noticed this?

So I've gone the VNC tunnelled over SSH route. It took a bit of time to setup and lock down Cygwin/sshd but it's sorted now and it gives me command line access as well, which is WIN. If you want help doing it yourself I may be able to assist.

Talking to the Microsoft people at work, most seem happy with the built-in Windows one on 3389, which is odd (wrt to Berk's setup on a different port) as they're normally (perhaps understandably) paranoid about security.

Looking around the thingies I can install onto my Dreamhosting, there's some "collaborative working" stuff that I would guess includes sharing of docs like spreadsheets and probably versioning - don't know if it's worth investigating.

I stuck bukkake's RD port on something different just for an extra layer of security, given a gameserver's IP is pretty much open to all with no work at all.

Sticking it on a totally unused port = RD requests just bounce (so looks like RD is disabled) unless you know the port.

On the downside, i've seen RD go to shit on non-default ports occasionally, mostly on XP, rather than 2k3. so i dunno what's going on there (maybe fear can shed more light on it)

Personally I prefer the VNC option because I have a tendancy to use other OSs occasionally and the client is available on most. You could tunnel the Windows one through SSH I imagine, then you don't need to worry about changing the port for security reasons as you can make it unavailable to other hosts.

As far as Buk's goes that pretty sensible - I thought you meant generally, or on your home box - the first box I ever had attacked was a UT game server (admittedly with web announcement). Within seconds.

As a known port, it's always a DoS target, so I'm a little curious why they allow it at work...it's probably because it's more effort to change it at the main firewall and then tell all the people that use it, only to actually compromise security more by that communication.

Well you can get at it with a java-enabled web client - that's pretty much anything.
