  • Yeah, X11 forwarding is only fine on a campus wide network, maybe city-wide at most, if the wan is fast enough.

    Sshfs would also be painful for operations processing a lot of data (grepping gigs of log files or even creating thumbnails of images to browse).

  • What are your tips on glasses? I choose standard uncoated lenses nowdays after finding that anti-reflective/anti-scratch coatings often scratched easily or had an optically-rippled surface, but maybe things have improved?

  • If that's the main problem then that's easy to solve! Simply use a free public xmpp server.

    I mention the self- and paid-hosting options because businesses tend to like having a sevice agreement backed by a contract, and may have additional specialised requirements not provided by free services (xmpp or otherwise).

  • XMPP. A business can self-host, there are public servers, or there are many businesses which offer customised xmpp hosting as a service.

    I can be federated with other xmpp servers or be a locked-down work-only service, or federate with chosen other servers (such as a client company's xmpp servers).

  • Some 4G phones don't support 4G calling correctly or with all networks.

    Check whether your phone actually uses 4G (VoLTE) for calls -- to sort-of test this, make a call while connected to mobile data and note whether the signal meter's 4G indication drops to 3G(H+/HSPA) or something during the call.

    A more insidious version of this issue is that some phones do VoLTE just fine, but only use 3G for 000 calls.

    Some phones only support VoLTE with some networks. There's a chance that an appropriate firmware upgrade could add support for some network/device combos.

  • The part of an espresso machine where the water passes through the coffee. Called a brew group in the automatic machines (and they can get mouldy and horrible). Should at least remove the shower screen or filter screen from the group and scrub out the old rancid coffee tar with a cloth/toothbrush.

    Pouring a shot of plain water should smell and taste like clean excellent hot water.
