And yet the post you're responding to was specifically talking about "ssh -X," claiming it does not work when it definitely *does* work, and that alone fulfills 90% of people's remoting needs, at least the traditional kind of remoting.

I admit it's kind of neat to fire up X2Go and grab a full desktop on another machine, but ssh -X is far more useful to me, and I suspect to most users. In fact when people complain about the lack of remoting in wayland they often point to ssh forwarding. And for native wayland apps that is lacking still. But any GTK or Qt app currently will run under either remote X11 forwarding, or local native wayland.

Yes it does. I'm running stock KDE on wayland right now on Fedora 40 (so it's even old now) and XWayland is running by default and DISPLAY is set. I am running a mix of wayland and X11 apps, and I ssh -X every day to remote machines. Gnome is the same way.

Why do you say it doesn't work when it clearly does?

And where they go, we follow. Just look at the crazy stuff happening in Alberta now.

I'm surprised, and you should be too, if your view is evidence-based, because this is a new effect that was not predicted by any of the previous models, which already consider the melting permafrost, methane emissions and fossil fuel use.

On any major wayland desktop on a modern distro, ssh -X works as it always has, because of XWayland. So you can remote apps like you always have.

As for a full remote desktop, both gnome and KDE offer RDP support (which is quite a bit more efficient and faster than remote X11 or forwarded X11). But I don't believe either offer headless RDP sessions like you can do with Xvnc or Xrdp, or X2Go. That is a glaring omission.

Fortunately KDE will run on X11 for years yet.

The leak is so small that I don't think you'd be able to find anything with this method. The leak rate is only about 4# /day. To top it off, the entire station leaks and always has, but at a much lower rate (0.6#/day apparently). Also with an ac system you know where to look. And you can easily do so. Going outside the station is a major undertaking and I don't think you'll be able to even find the uv marker as it sublimates.

Yes. Window shade, whatever you want to call it. KWin is responsible for it, and it can do it for X11 windows, but not Wayland windows. It kind of tries. Not sure if this is a wayland bug or a kwin bug, or both. Also focus-follows-mouse is a bit weird. Sometimes I have to leave the window and re-enter it to get it to focus (or click), and on wayland kwin will not focus the window if I just hover over the titlebar. I have to enter the body of the window itself. I assume this is a kwin bug, since kwin is responsible for drawing the window decorations.

Is setting the record straight "re-education?" ssh -CY works great on my KDE wayland desktop. Gnome is the same I understand. $DISPLAY is set an everything. Works the same as it always has as far as the user is concerned. Apps that have wayland backends use wayland directly. Those that don't use rootless windows with XWayland. Shrug. It works.

That's what XWayland is for, and it works well. It's automatic and transparent on modern distros and Gnome or KDE, and probably others. Did you actually try it before you complain about Wayland? In fact even local X11 apps are supported transparently as well. I have a mix of X11 and wayland native apps running right now. Except for a few minor differences in how the windows are managed (roll-up is not available on native wayland windows, sadly), I cannot tell which is which.

The only remoting I've ever needed to do was X11 forwarding over SSH which works transparently if you have XWayland running, which is automatic on most distributions these days. So it really doesn't matter to me if wayland has remoting of wayland native apps, provided the apps I'm trying to remote still support an X11 backend, which they all do. That will change in the near future, though, as GTK plans to drop their X11 backend entirely soon. So you'll be out of luck if you need to remote a GTK app.

Times are obviously different now, but historically, conservatives have increased the debt more than liberals in Canada. In fact the last time the budge was actually balanced was under Cretien and later Martin, if I'm not mistaken. Harper inherited a brief surplus, but the crash of 2008 erased that pretty quickly and it hasn't been seen since.

Cars essentially idle most of the time in stop and go city traffice. So EGR is a clear win. It's not just for EPA tests. It has real-world implications. And on big diesel engines, EGR is typically on full time.

Modern catalytic converters *do* mitigate NOx. They are sometimes called "three-way catalytic converters" because they mitigate CO, NOx, and unburned hydrocarbons. And of course on diesel engines, catalytic converters use SCR injection.

Air quality is about NOx and particulates. That's the definition of "pollutants" in this case. CO2 is a separate issue that is often conflated with emissions control.

Well by definition this is a tax on Canadians, not on American companies. It's no different than sales tax, which applies to physical goods bought in Canada. Trump knows this but he is a compulsive liar. As a Canadian I'm okay with this sales tax.

There are two kinds of pollutants that emission regulations have targeted, because they are both human health concerns. First is particulates. Even gasoline engines emit particulates. There's a 50% chance AI is hallucinating, but google search told me gasoline particulate filters are a thing; I've certainly never heard of such a thing.

Second there's NOx emissions, which are what catalytic converters are for. More efficient engines can reduce particulates, but not NOx, unfortunately. In fact increasing engine efficiencies can often increase NOx. NOx can be reduced at the expense of efficiency by using exhaust-gas recirculation to moderate combustion temperatures. EGR has been a thing on gasoline engines since the 70s.

If you really think engines don't need catalytic converters, you forget the horrible smog of the 60s and 70s. Air quality is not great in cities today sometimes, but it's a lot better than it was before the EPA regs.

Trouble is, we're now at the point of diminished returns for emissions controls. And on large diesel engines, these systems give me constant trouble. Modern diesels are remarkably clean compared to older engines. No smoke or smell to speak of when operating under load. However NOx is still generated and has no smell, but is a human health concern, so a catalytic converter is still required.

Healthcare is a provincial responsibility. The feds kick in tax money in the form of transfer payments, which are maligned and misunderstood by nearly every fellow Canadian I know. Whether some of this money goes to healthcare or not depends on your provincial government. Here in Alberta the premier is dead-set against healthcare (or just about anything that's important), so the money definitely won't go towards it here.

Also here in Alberta it's common to hear people complain about federal transfer payments and how it's so unfair Alberta has to pay other provinces, which is complete and utter BS. Either willful or genuine ignorance I don't know. No one is making Alberta "pay" another province. Transfer payments are nothing more than the federal budget sending some federal tax money directly to the provincial coffers for them to do what they want with it. So a certain percentage of the money raised through this digital services tax (which honestly won't amount to much in the grand scheme of things) will be sent to provinces.
