  • RDP is kind of limited because it’s a virtual session. It’s useful if you only need to do stuff while you’re actively connected but you can’t, for example, remote in and start an app or process going and then disconnect and have that app continue. When you d/c your profile is essentially logged out. Your activity also can’t be viewed by a user on the remote system, if you needed to collaborate or assist somehow.

    UltraVNC has worked ok for me for windows systems. It has some of that open-source clunk to the UI, but is pretty straight forward and does what I need.














  • It’s the blood pumping through your arteries. I used to get this even in my teens after very long walks. You’re literally just feeling your own pulse as your heart works a bit harder to meet your body’s elevated demand for blood/oxygen.

    I’m not sure why it seems to be more apparent after milder activity, but maybe something like walking doesn’t dialate your blood vessels so much so there’s a bit more pressure at certain points?

    If you want to confirm its your blood vessels and not muscles, check your pulse as it’s happening and see if its the same rythmn.

    As far as I know it’s normal, since I was in peak physical condition at that age (a lot of athletics, running etc.) but if it seems unusual for you personally I guess bring it up to a doctor.




  • The main benefit to the F16s is that they have radar and detection abilities comparable to the aircraft they’re up against. In warfare between aircraft a lot of it comes down to who sees who first and that typically happens many kilometers out.

    The aging soviet junk that the Ukrainians are flying have essentially half the detection range as the newer Russian stuff.

    But yeah, the time to give them F16s was back before their planned summer offensive. Hesitance by the Biden admin has cost Ukraine the initiative they had. The jets won’t turn that around on their own.


  • Yes, unfortunately in the US it’s two parts 1) rural areas are not very well-serviced as you say, there is a lot of land in the US (~8,000,000 sqkm) much of which is empty, so being able to do more yourself is always the better option 2) there’s always been kind of mythos around self-reliance in this country that has become kind of exaggerated with certain political demographics, so that leads to people in cities owning these giant vehicles as kind of a political status thing “Look at me, I’m a self-reliant manly man who doesn’t need help from any community or collective.” Which us a ridiculous attitude to have when living in a city, but that’s the political climate undortunately. Also plays into why so many of our services suck arse.
