 K900 | Tailscale just gives you a magic overlay network | 15:26:02 |
 Aurora Ennie Seidr (she / her) | I think I initially went zerotier because it was getting around ISP port blocking it whatever | 15:26:01 |
| K900 | That can route any traffic | 15:26:06 |
| K900 | Including SSH | 15:26:13 |

| Aurora Ennie Seidr (she / her) | Okay so I have a new problem (upon reflection). This openssh connection means that I have to use powershell to start a WSL connection initially. How do I reconnect to that already existing vm that I may have been disconnected from without launching an entirely new one? | 15:45:43 |
| Aurora Ennie Seidr (she / her) | If I'm remoting into what amounts to a small bastion host the VM I spawn has to be reachable | 15:47:05 |
| Aurora Ennie Seidr (she / her) | What's powershell 's version of "reconnect to this instead of launching new" ? | 15:47:49 |
| Aurora Ennie Seidr (she / her) | Linux has screen | 15:48:11 |
| Aurora Ennie Seidr (she / her) | Screen -rd (id name here) | 15:48:34 |
| Aurora Ennie Seidr (she / her) | The research I'm doing says I'm hosed | 15:50:52 |
| Aurora Ennie Seidr (she / her) | Either I pay money to someone, or stand up an outside server in the cloud for money. Which means I'm paying either way | 15:51:48 |
| Aurora Ennie Seidr (she / her) | So now it's "f you Aurora you have to reboot your PC like a big girl and just suck it up and run NixOs manually on bare metal and hope that driver support is there for all your stuff" | 15:52:58 |
| Aurora Ennie Seidr (she / her) | To say "this isn't fair" would be an understatement | 15:53:34 |
| Aurora Ennie Seidr (she / her) | And yes this is how my research goes. "If only you had more money, paid more more, or sacrificed.. this would work" | 15:54:55 |

How do I reconnect to that already existing vm that I may have been disconnected from without launching an entirely new one? The WSL VM is a singleton | 16:07:00 |
| K900 | There's always exactly one of it | 16:07:09 |

There's always exactly one of it I don't get it. Then how am I creating multiple windows? | 16:07:57 |
| K900 | They're processes inside the same VM | 16:08:09 |
| K900 | Just like you can have multiple terminal windows on a normal Linux system | 16:08:32 |
| K900 | You can run screen in it as well | 16:08:51 |
| K900 | As normal | 16:08:52 |
| Aurora Ennie Seidr (she / her) | When I do "WSL -d" in powershell it doesn't just spawn another windows based process, or start another separate VM of the same process? | 16:09:44 |
| Aurora Ennie Seidr (she / her) | In reply to @k900:0upti.me
You can run screen in it as well They ported screen to win64 powershell? | 16:10:10 |
| K900 | It spawns another shell process in the VM | 16:10:24 |
| K900 | In reply to@aurorasystem:matrix.org
They ported screen to win64 powershell? You can run it in the WSL VM | 16:10:32 |
| Aurora Ennie Seidr (she / her) | Ok I think I get it. I just hate spending money | 16:11:07 |
| K900 | Money? | 16:11:12 |
| K900 | There should be no money in this anywhere | 16:11:17 |
| Aurora Ennie Seidr (she / her) | I know. I mean I was thinking of getting this to work for me and I was seeing cost since the tailwind thing wasn't a Windows product and the only stuff that did allow me to bypass it cost.
Stupid ISP filtering firewall rules were expected again | 16:13:33 |
