Remmina and Remote Desktop Computing

I am out of my country and a regular Linux User.

I brought my NUC with me which was an unnecessary addition to my luggage. Of course it is little bigger than a large cellphone.

I cannot carry the heavy PC with me and the answer is the VNC and Remmina.

VNC stands for Virtual Network Computing.

One has to do a bit of work in command line.

I do not recommend graphic interface which  is vulnerable.

Other problem is one has to switch on the PC or the Laptop physically. If you is a business guy with a secretary at home it is no big deal.

For an old guy that is a handicap, unless one has an extended family.

Connection is vital but cell phone companies drain your money, if one is away from home.

That is the name of the game.

VNC do away with file uploading and downloading especially if one is only interested in looking at the photos on a business or holiday trip.

In my case I do not use Microsoft Windows and I have to get permission from the server guy or girl.

The added benefit is thay I can use Windows without paying a ransom to Microsoft.

Windows have lager market share and by  using VNC one can have the best of both worlds.

VNC is bit complicated with Mac due to their graphic intensity.

VNC is frugal and works on a light weight capacity.

If one day cell phone companies support VNC it is a bonus.

I doubt they will promote this  due to security and privacy concerns.

I stand to correction and Android cellphone can be used to connect to your PC.

But your PC should have an installed copy of the VNC Server.

VNC Viewer in your cellphone can then be configured.

Downside is one has to pay for the viewer and it is not a free software.


Japanese are disease of the skin and Communists are the disease of the heart

Chian Chai Zhec who was fighting Mao  Zedong said the above.

I am ambivalent to the author of the catch phrase.
It was planted in his brain by the Church.
It is a subtle brain washing technique which the Church is very good at.

Vatican head Montini is the one who spear headed the anti-communist movement.
There was closed alliance with Mafia of Sicily.

Even though, true Mafia resisted the drug trade, CIA established a link with drug lords.
These connection grew up to even Kennedy assassination.

Even though

Vatican
Mafia
CIA appeared independent they were in the loop intricately.

The priesthood child sex abuse is only a minor symptom and a malady which was never properly investigated.

American Methodist Church was trying to convert Chinese to Christianity and trained few priests including Soong.

They failed.

Mao even though, influenced by Soviet Union's (Stalin's) Communism had his own brand of Communism.

It was not working class but the peasants who were in the forefront of his liberation.

Karl Marx's  division of labour did not apply.

Japan captured one fifth of  Northern China and Chiang feared Mao more than Japanese.

Mao capitalized on his weakness and unified the Working or Walking Army.

Long March was his slogan.

Church which addressed to the Heart failed.

The anti-imperialistic slogan of Mao was successful in unifying China.

There were attempt to break away from grip of Communism but Shanghai or Hong Kong was forcefully integrated.

Central Committee decides and rest follow.
There is no democratic mechanism.

Frankly I do not like Chinese Communist Dictatorship.

Thr citizens are treated like slaves.

Stress is high and they have the highest heart disease casualties within the working class. I do not know the real reasons for  the changing tends, the food habit is only one of them.

They are now eyeing Taiwan, to begin with pretentiously on  legal grounds, failing which the brute mental and physical force.

China is timid on strong arm tactics but if Ukraine fails, which is inevitable  China will seize the opportunity.

Power politics is strange  it is all about seizing the opportunity.

Ordinary people whether in the West or East have no choice.

For ordinary people it is after the fact jubilation.
