Doesn't help that I often get fascinated by the most basic things, and then they just occupy my mind.
Recent example: Internet
When I say I get distracted by the internet, you'd probably think I go to TikTok or YouTube shorts. No, I mean internet itself.
I set up Tailscale, and it's running on my headless home computer. And oh my god, I for some reason find it fascinating. I might not even have anything to do, but I just SSH in, or even run VNC, and it's just awesome.
I am accessing a computer in a different city, using it as if it was here.
Then I run sshfs, and it looks like local storage. How awesome is that?
And it's mobile data on both sides. So much data going through the air, through walls, to a distant tower, on both sides.
Plus it's so quick! Just milliseconds, and the bits are here.
Literally what web is too. Using computers from not just different cities, but even different continents.
I've used it for a few months now, but I still sometimes just log in just because. It still fascinates me that I can access my computer from so far away.
Oh and oh god, I almost forgot about when I ran SDR++/RTL-TCP server on it, and used SDR from a different city. Sampled RF signal live, right over the internet, how cool is that?
Welp anyway, right now I tried to watch some video, but got distracted by random thought of RAMdisk. So, now I am listening to music from tmpfs for no good reason.
The first time i realized i could use netcat to send and receive data between two of my computers on a LAN I was giggling like a child. You don't need fancy programs, email, webbrowsers or whatever. Just a single line in the command line and there appears text on my other computer...
I just learned to use scp. Now I'm looking up netcat.
