We have already mastered the configuration of VNC and RDP on a virtual server, it remains to study one more option for connecting to a Linux virtual desktop. The capabilities of the NX protocol created by NoMachine are quite interesting, and it also works well over slow links. Proprietary server solutions are expensive (client ones are free), but there is also a free implementation, which will be discussed in […]
Some users rent relatively inexpensive VPS with Windows to run a remote desktop service. The same can be done on Linux without placing your own hardware in the data center or renting a dedicated server. Someone needs a familiar graphical environment for testing and development, or a remote desktop with a wide channel for working from mobile devices. There are many options […]
In the previous article, we discussed running a VNC server on a virtual machine of any type. This option has a lot of disadvantages, the main of which are high bandwidth requirements for data transmission channels. Today we will try to connect to a graphical desktop on Linux via RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol). The VNC system is based on the transmission of arrays of pixels over the RFB protocol […]

It all started with the fact that the team leader of one of our development teams asked to put their new application out in test mode, which had been containerized the day before. I posted. After about 20 minutes, a request was received to update the application, because a very necessary thing was finished there. I renewed. A couple more hours later… well, you can already guess what […]
Microsoft has announced the world's first large-scale experiment using hydrogen fuel cells to power servers in a data center. The 250 kW installation was made by Power Innovations. In the future, such a 3-megawatt plant will replace traditional diesel generators, which are currently used as a backup power source in the data center. Hydrogen is considered as an environmentally friendly fuel, because as a result of its combustion […]
