  • BEFORE you mess with your VNC, it is extremely important to have a backup connection. So either you have the ability to connect your pi to a monitor and a keyboard locally, or you really, really should setup SSH before you mess with your VNC server.

    Use SSH with a Certificate, described here: https://raspberrypi-guide.github.io/networking/connecting-via-ssh (“passwordless”) This guide doesn’t show how to set up SSH, but how to install a key in a more detailed way: https://pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pi-ssh-keys/

    The good thing: Once you got this working, you’re basically done. Just ditch VNC and go straight to SSH from now on. It’s more secure and has better performance usually.

    Yet, if you like your VNC and want to continue using it, you first connect via SSH do not do this while using a VNC connection! Now, first, you do all this: https://www.tomshardware.com/how-to/install-vnc-raspberry-pi-os then you do a

    sudo update-alternatives --list vncserver
    sudo update-alternatives --list vncserver-x11
    

    you should see tightvnc listed there. Don’t freak out if one of the two returns an error that the application was not found. That’s okay. Not all versions of Raspbian used the same application name in the past, so I listed them both. As long as one of them works, you’re fine.

    Then, you do a

    sudo update-alternatives --config vncserver
    sudo update-alternatives --config vncserver-x11
    

    and change it to tightvnc. now you can stop your running VNC:

    sudo vncserver-x11 -service -stop && sudo vncserver -service -stop
    sudo vncserver-x11 -service -start && sudo vncserver -service -start
    

    Once you did that, connect to tightvnc as described in the article. If this works, do sudo apt uninstall realvnc

    You should now be able to connect via VNC without weird account bullshit.

    There was this weird orangey, strawberry-ish aroma used in a paracetamol (Tylenol for the yanks) syrup for children. I hated this stuff so much as a child that I spit it to the ceiling in our kitchen once. Today, when I only smell anything remotely similar, I have to force down a gag.

    Yep, I cannot comprehend how there is so much space allocated to so few people and they still drown in one fucking housing crisis after another.

    If you are going to gobble up that much space for yourselves on this planet that we all share, stop fucking around and put it to good use!





  • I love how they expect

    a) their “findings” to be secret and suppressed so they are the only ones to have “discovered” it b) some random clerk at Enterprise to be able to process their secret paperwork

    If the clerk at Enterprise knew that we all can just splurge without any repercussions because of secret knowledge… why do you think that clerk brought his own, sad, reheated microwave meal to work today instead of devouring Surf&Turf Wagyu, eh?
