<not_a_thinclient>
I'm planning on setting up LTSP for a Wyse SX0 thin client. It has a 300mhz CPU, same with 32MB of internal flash storage. The RAM is 128MB, but I probably could max it out to 512MB with some soldering.
14:33
<meo>
I dont think that'd work well on ltsp19
14:34
in my use profile the clients need at least 4Gb RAM, and often 8
14:34
<not_a_thinclient>
Wait. Is this a channel for the terminal server?
14:34
or another app?
14:34
<meo>
this is
14:34
but there are two LTSPs
14:34
<not_a_thinclient>
I'm going to do mine on Debian 10.
14:34
<meo>
LTSP 5 is the old one, it's no longer maintained
14:35
LTSP 19 is the new one, it's a hybrid fat client with no [current] support for network swap
14:35
LTSP 5 had support for display-only thin clients
14:35
this is gone in LTSP 19
14:35
<not_a_thinclient>
Huh, Debian 10 says LTSP 5 is current.
14:35
I checked its changelog.
14:36
<meo>
well it is current in the sense that it's the latest but it isn't maintained anymore
14:36
you can still use it
14:36
but there won't be further development
14:37
<not_a_thinclient>
Did the Debian package maintainer stop updating it for Debian?
14:38
That would explain why it would didn't work with the NVIDIA driver and such.
14:38
<meo>
I havent looked at ltsp5 packaging
14:38
but it hasnt been updated for several years in the upstream
14:38
<not_a_thinclient>
I'll compile it then :(
14:38
<meo>
so I won't be surprised
14:38
new ltsp is in PPAs
14:38
<not_a_thinclient>
The website is different from when I last looked at it.
14:39
<meo>
because the old project is dead, and the website is for the new project
14:39
<not_a_thinclient>
TSP has been redesigned and rewritten from scratch in 2019 by alkisg
14:39
Weird.
14:39
I didn't touch this since a year
14:39
Is it the same as before?
14:39
<meo>
no, it's a from-scratch codebase, designed on a different principle
14:40
tl;dr all clients are diskless fat clients now
14:40
<not_a_thinclient>
Why was it redesigned? Fat clients... that sucks.
14:40
What happened to thin clients? Did they somehow gain some more RAM and storage? What about people with really old thin clients?
14:40
<meo>
you can still use ltsp5 for those
14:41
but there's no one to help you with it
14:41
the other problem is that modern distros are switching from xorg to wayland which basically means no remote app execution w/o hacks
14:41
<not_a_thinclient>
They ruined it. The whole original point was for all clients. This is racism against thin clients. Thin client genocide. Debian still uses Xorg.
14:42woernie has left IRC (woernie!~werner@p578bb7b6.dip0.t-ipconnect.de, Remote host closed the connection)
14:42
<not_a_thinclient>
I've always preferred Xorg anyways.
14:42
<meo>
sure, I'd rather have remote app execution too
14:43
but that's a bitch in modern OSes
14:44
<not_a_thinclient>
UEFI... yuck. I bet the devs are getting paid by Intel to convince users to switch to UEFI, so Intel can secretly extract data with Intel ME.
14:44
LTSP now doesn't natively support thin clients. The fuck? You're kidding me.
14:46
The classic and more cultivating site: http://web.archive.org/web/20190109002553/http://www.ltsp.org/
14:47
They changed the wiki... no, no, no.
14:47
Wait they didn't
14:49
AD and other stuff were killed off in the new release?
14:51
Look on r/sysadmin. It's ruined. Absolute bullshit claim of thin clients. It's just downloading the images and running them; liars.
14:52

14:55
<meo>
https://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/d93h3q/psa_linux_terminal_server_project_is_no_longer/
14:55
<not_a_thinclient>
Don't care. It's dead for any useful scenario.
14:56
<meo>
okay then
14:56
<not_a_thinclient>
Here's the correct and official site URL: <http://web.archive.org/web/2016/ltsp.org>
14:56
<alkisg>
not_a_thinclient: xorg stopped caring about remote desktop many years ago; we ltsp developers had to accept that and move on
14:57
Now you can use remote desktop, instead of remote xorg
14:57
It's about the same thing, except that it's still maintained
14:57
<not_a_thinclient>
Why don't they hack it on?
14:57
<alkisg>
I.e. x2go, xfreerdp replaced XDMCP
14:58
Xorg developers work on wayland now
14:58
Wayland by design isn't network-aware
14:58
<not_a_thinclient>
I'll fork it once I learn its programming language in the future.
14:58
<alkisg>
That's not a problem; remote desktop is fine
14:58
You'll fork xorg?
14:58
<not_a_thinclient>
I only know PHP :(
14:58
<alkisg>
It will require hundreds of developers, you can't do it alone
14:59
<not_a_thinclient>
Trick about of devs into joining an Xorg cult?
14:59
*about = a bunch
14:59
<alkisg>
I'm not really into conspiracy theories
14:59
If you care about rational talk though, I can help
15:00
You can read https://github.com/ltsp/community/issues/32 for a more detailed answer
15:01
Remember, you can still use xfreerdp and x2go with your clients and the new LTSP, you don't need to upgrade them
15:01
Debian edu also implements a thin client session for the new LTSP, it'll be ready for Bullseye
15:02
<not_a_thinclient>
No.
15:03
Debian edu? Extra bloated. No
15:03
<alkisg>
I'm not telling you to use debian edu
15:04
I'm telling you that they too faced this issue and chose to implement x2go or xfreerdp
15:04
As those are still maintained, while remote xorg isn't
15:04
Note that remote xorg is slower than remote desktop in many many cases
15:04
<not_a_thinclient>
Find where the main Xorg devs live, then force them to continue it.
15:05
I mean I would shoot up their house.
15:05
<alkisg>
No, better yet, find where you live, and force you to pay a billion dollars to continue
15:05
And shoot your cat too
15:05
Now please move on, this is not a channel for such discussions
15:05
If you ever need technical support, come again
15:06
Hiding behind anonymity and yelling isn't cool

<not_a_thinclient>
I would probably remove every () in the source code for fun
15:06
<alkisg>
*cheers
15:06
<not_a_thinclient>
Then fork and change gcc to accept it.
15:07
<alkisg>
I only replied because I thought you were serious
15:07
<not_a_thinclient>
so that the devs will be confused when the testing build servers work fine
15:07
<alkisg>
Oh wait I can just kick you, let me see how this is done...

If you're unaware, Brenton Tarrant is the meme god who managed to remove 49 kebabs from our dystopian world. I recommend building a gun (an automatic is advised) and hitting up the local mosque or Jewish church (utter brainwashing; pls shekels). Don't worry, but it is completely normal to think about killing kebabs/Jews. The white race is extremely important, but it's getting
15:25
wiped out by refugees who expect everything to be f u c k l i n g free.

Before hitler was leader, the Jews declared war against Germany in the 1930s, which upset a lot of people, including Hitler, so he wanted to correct that. He recruited Jews (non-communist ones), whites, etc,. to fight against the Jews. When the allies started to bo
15:25
b Germany, they were unable to feed the captured communist leaders (most were Jews), so they started to starve. When the Americans arrived at one of the camps, they just-so-happened to burn the papers explaining the above. Ask a Germany solder from back then and they'll tell you that you're delusional for believing in the holocaust.
