  • The boundary of where to host what, is not fixed. You cannot host the internet at home. Where people sit on the spectrum varies depending on skill, resources and need.

    I highlighted several options that provide a solution for someone with limited skills and resources.

    You could host a CALDAV server or a next cloud at home and use the suggestions I provided, or you could use those hosted by someone else.

    My answer was to provide ideas, not a how-to guide, answering, in my opinion, exactly what OP was looking for.

    That it doesn’t match your idea about solving the problem tells you that there are many ways to solve software problems. My suggestions had a low barrier to entry.

    What’s your recommendation for OP?










  • From having played with the remote desktop offering from AWS, it’s a Windows Server running a terminal session. It’s likely heavily locked down and on its own network with likely no inbound network connectivity.

    Similarly, the compute nodes are likely to be locked down to only accept connections from the remote desktop network.

    It all depends on what the brief was to whomever set it up.

    You might be able to do some shenanigans with the web browser on the remote desktop, but for my money, I’d just open your browser, set it to full screen and forget about how your keystrokes are travelling.

    Ultimately, unless you’re a shareholder, it’s their money.

    And for the record, it might be that the IT department doesn’t want you to run your own SSH session for a bunch of very good reasons.

    I have no idea what Bazzite is.

    The error says that there’s a missing file. If it used to work, but after you updated, upgraded, compiled, installed or something to get a new kernel, it broke.

    I’m guessing that you installed the wrong kernel or didn’t update the initial ramdisk correctly.

    You might be able to boot using the previous kernel, but I’d start with trying to figure out what you did to get here.

    You should be able to boot from the installation media in rescue mode to fix this, but that won’t happen until you know what’s broken.









  • TL;DR - Essentially you’re attempting to mix two types of output, a pipe with a terminal. This is pretty much not going to work as expected.

    To make colour in a terminal, commands like ls add so-called Escape sequences, a series of bytes that your terminal knows how to interpret as colour.

    Whilst you might be able to force those characters though a pipe, they’re just characters, so if you only grab part of those characters, you’ll create invalid Escape sequences and all hell will break loose, exactly like what happens if you run cat on a binary file and the terminal display goes haywire. You can often recover using the reset command.

    This is why programs like ls and grep detect if they’re running as a terminal command or a pipe command and suppress the Escape sequences when you are sending their output to anything other than a terminal.
