    I forgot some applications I do use regulary.

    tcpdump and wireshark (and especially it's commandline friend tshark)

    Well, I'm very a very heavy user of commandline tools. :-) So that is mostly just text.

    Judging by this discussion, I've concluded maybe I'm kinda special.

    Sure sounds pretty bad if the people on Slashdot think you are weird. ;-)

    To bad the IPv6 experiment (porn) never got completely of the ground.

    IE(-based browsers) and Safari on XP (the only browsers that use the windows library) isn't the only SNI problem, Android 2.x is also a problem.

    I guess by the time XP is gone the Android phones will be gone too. But it was really stupid to see these people not include SNI support.

    You've never been to the Netherlands have you ? You can get drugs here, it is legal. Only 'soft-drugs' though, like joints for personal use (so small quantities).

    And you know what ? We don't have a problem. The biggests problems that are caused are by foreigners coming in and causing problems trying to get large quantities.

    I don't use Skype, my current mail client is for home Mutt actually, but it should be easy to switch to webmail. My current work email client is webmail. I don't use iTunes, I sometimes have vlc open, but that is just if I open a local file from a filebrowser, which hardly ever happends. I don't have a Calendar.

    I use irc, vi, diff, git, less, dig, ssh on the commandline, etc. so it doesn't really matter on what machine I run these applications.

    Ohh and a browser. :-)

    Actually the code of Cloud9IDE is on github, you can download it and do your own install.

    I would only have to have the editor on the testserver/environment.

    All my production environments are very similair.

    Actually, shell in a box runs as user nobody and is just a login-prompt. it is the same most people have open on their SSH port, so aint all that special.

    I use it over HTTPS and it is password and IP-address check protected, maybe I'll even use a one-time-password-system for that.

    At my home I have a Soekris system which is my router to the Internet it can run this, so it is on the local network segment "where I am".

    I could do the same thing at work. Run in on a server in the same local network segment, which could also be localhost. Although maybe it gets a bit silly in that case.

    I also mentioned it was just an experiment.

    Maybe I'll just try out using the IDE and continue to use SSH-client for everything else.

  10. Re:Didn't work out for MS on Mozilla Labs Introduces the Webian Shell · · Score: 1

    To be honest, I code most of my code in vi and ssh, just to be clear I'm not a webdesigner. I usually don't even use syntax highlighting.

    All the other work I do on networks is all ssh or webbased management tooling.

    The point is:
    - I can work from anywhere (without carring stuff around)
    - have the exact same environment I do all the time
    - only having a central system to backup

    I would run the "cloud" based editor on the same system where I do my testing for the websites I work on. Which means I'm editing the code on the same system it needs to be deployed on.

    The terminal I linked to could also run as a daemon on that same or other central system and a webserver can just reverseproxy to it. I've tested this, that it does work. It is just "an other login-process" only over HTTPS.

    So maybe my requirements are very specific, but it might work for me. It would also just be an experiment at first.

    I do webdevelopment and network- and Linux/Unix system administration. It is that I've not had time yet to it up and try it out but I think I could actually move over all my work into a webbrowser if I wanted to. I've actually been wanting to try it out as an experiment:

    http://www.cloud9ide.com/ (open source webbased programmers editor with git version control and offline support is almost ready)
    http://code.google.com/p/shellinabox/

    And the rest is already online, because it is the same as a lot of people are already using, like webmail and fora like slashdot.

    I'm not an Office user however and I don't know if Google Docs or similair open source webapplication would be good enough for me, I do know I would want to have one that atleast supports HTML5-offline use. But as I understand it a lot of people already use it, so it probably satisfies their needs.

    Here is something which might be of use:

    A lot of stuff is webbased, why not have the browser authenticate in your name (probably with the use of an extra locally stored encrypted database of keys)

    I think what most people in the industry call 'private cloid' is using virtualisation and management tools to automatically move workloads over different privately owned servers instead of doing that manually or running dedicated servers for applications.

    That is why you should seperate the data from the application and store the data encrypted or on a server/system you own.

    Some open source projects exist to create that split (protocols and code).
