I combined several more live cd (such as gparted, clonezilla, memtest, ubuntu installer) in one usb stick thru the use of YUMI-UEFI. Very handy for troubleshooting esp when you are offline.
I definitely don't get the appeal, looks like someone just factory install a linux distro and call it a day. If I am needing a dev machine, why not just get a thinkpad and snap my favorite linux distro on it?
Well the data will need to move with you. Not very feasible if you need the whole media library / codebase to be transported via cellular all the time.
I understand the appeal when you just need terminal access tho.
Even if you do not agree with the coding style they propose, it is still useful to know and helps understand others code (and the rationale behind it). It is true though not everything applies nicely.
To add to others' opinions, HP have their offline driver very hard to find and almost can't install properly. Even what I want to use is the scan function on the printer, I will have to get internet access to open up a account with HP, or else the phone app and computer app just refuses to show the relevant pages...
Just outright annoying and would not buy any HP product again before they improve the situation
I used v2ray+nginx on a linode instance to expose NAT-ed port. I have tried cloudflared before but it seems to not able to proxy the cockpit GUI well.
And the credentials (for the whole domain) will have to stay with the device, that make me a little nervous.
That depends on how well your bash script is constructed. If you carefully handle the falling case such as missing commands, non-root permissions, etc. It can be easy to use and kind of portable. Of course python scripts have better error trace so if the script doesnt work others can debug with relatively easily.
