Ask HN: Are any remote desktop solutions good enough for full-time use?
5 by filleokus | 4 comments on Hacker News.
I'm thinking about having a beefy desktop computer at home and using some kind of remote desktop solution to connect to it from other places (e.g co-working spaces). I have good bandwidth (250+ Mbit both ways) with low latency (< 10 ms) between the computers. Is there any solution that's good enough for 100% full-time use. I'm thinking about stuff like high DPI ("retina") resolutions, transfer of audio input and output and just overall good enough quality and latency to not get annoyed by it. The computer at home is probably going to running macOS, and I would preferably have a solution where the client can be run on macOS or maybe linux. Does anyone have experience with a solution like this?

Even though Firefox v64 will stop supporting RSS/Atom feeds natively [see https://ift.tt/2A5PAIy for a discussion on that news], I just found how convenient and efficient RSS can be. Before it gets harder to find feeds, I'm hoping everyone can share their OPML exports from their favorite reader, or share their favorite RSS feeds. Aside from the Hacker News RSS Feed [https://ift.tt/1jERobk] and adding my favorite subreddits [https://ift.tt/2z5qp6Y], I don't have too many yet.
