What I’ve mostly learned the last few days is how little I know, and how outdated my knowledge.
It turns out that not only do I not need to upgrade my own hardware, but even the notion of streaming a desktop is tenuous.
Sure, Vagon holds promise as a cloud hosted remote desktop with access to beefy GPUs, but even that doesn’t seem to be strictly necessary.
With services like LighteningAI you have cloud runtime capabilities baked right into your IDE without even worrying about infrastructure.
Obvious to some, no doubt, but to me a whole new revelation. A revolution, even. Well, not really.
All said, I’m getting too old for tinkering like this. I think I will park these ideas, and leave for youthful brains. I have enough on my plate without resurrecting the terminal in my private life. Need a better hobby.
