![]() It’s seen in about 25% of people who have migraine. ![]() The most common cause of kaleidoscope vision is migraine with aura, which can be ocular or retinal. Hemiplegic migraine: During a hemiplegic migraine episode, the limbs on one side of your body and the muscles of your face might become weak.Dysphasic aura: Your speech is disrupted, and you forget words or can’t say what you mean.Sensory aura: You’ll experience tingling in your fingers that spread up your arm, sometimes reaching one side of your face and tongue.Symptoms that can accompany migraine with auraĪt the same time as the visual aura episode, or after it, you may also experience other types of aura or migraine episodes. objects appearing too large or too small, or too close or far away.a sensation of looking through water or heat waves.blind spots, tunnel vision, or total loss of vision for a short period.a faint, foggy area surrounded by zigzag lines that can grow and break up over time. ![]() dots, stars, spots, squiggles, and “flashbulb” effects.zigzag lines that often shimmer (they may be colored or black and silver, and they may appear to move across your field of vision).Some of the other symptoms you may experience from migraine with aura include: Therefore, it’s important to see an ophthalmologist (a type of eye doctor who can examine, diagnose, and treat eye conditions) if you experience kaleidoscope vision or any other aura effect, especially for the first time. A TIA can be a precursor to a stroke that could be life threatening. Kaleidoscope vision and other aura effects may also be symptoms of more serious conditions, including a transient ischemic attack (TIA) or a ministroke. This makes it more likely that the cause is ocular migraine. If you see the distorted image in each eye separately, the problem is probably coming from the part of your brain involved in vision and not from the eyes themselves. One way to determine if you’re seeing it in both eyes is to cover one and then the other. But this can be hard to determine because it may appear only in a part of the visual field. You’ll usually see the distorted image in both eyes. In kaleidoscope vision, the images you see may appear broken up and brightly colored, like the image in a kaleidoscope. It’s usually followed by a migraine headache, but not always. The aura episode may last anywhere from 5 minutes to 1 hour. An aura episode may include feelings of numbness or tingling, weakness, and trouble speaking, as well as visual disturbances that affect both eyes.

![]() Sometimes you simply dislike a thing and you don't have to force yourself to like it to be "artsy" or "intellectual". Don't let people gaslight you into thinking "what you don't want is actually what you need". If you liked the dreamy, bittersweet feel, the woodsy aesthetic, the native symbolism and spiritualism, the characters and their interactions, the romanticism of it, Cooper's brotherhood with Harry and love for Annie, then The Return was not made for you.Īnd it's alright to be mad at that. It's very self-conscious, almost ashamed of being itself. The Return tries really hard to subvert what Twin Peaks is. You seem to like Twin Peaks for what it is. Just to offer a different opinion since this sub tends to get insufferably circlejerky when it comes to praising The Return as "the best thing any being in the multiverse has ever created": TLDR: I love The Return and FWWM, but it’s understandable being thrown by the shift between the OG and them. One episode would play as pokey and amateurish, the next like a masterclass in form and execution. Watching as it aired, it was literally impossible to tell where it would go narratively tonally or formally episode to episode. We are awash in normal TV, and even good “prestige” television strives for conventional intelligibility… The Return’s looseness of form creates actual surprise. As for The Return, the joy and beauty of it is having those desires for standard TV storytelling thrown out the window. It’s pretty normal to be thrown at first… I was pretty disappointed by FWWM when it came out, but it’s become one of my favorite Lynch films. If anything, they frustrate your TV-conditioned desire for narrative continuity and clear progression. They are not satisfying as continuations of the show’s format. The first two seasons of Twin Peaks mixed the conventions of network TV/miniseries/soap opera with Lynchian surrealism to create something surprising and innovative yet oddly comfortable/comforting. But it is true Lynchian cinematic art, not following the rules of TV at all, and certainly not the rules of TV series seasons And it is wonderful. Episode 8 alone is the best thing I have ever seen on TV. Things change in twenty five years, and The Return was worth waiting for. And it is indeed a work of art, not really a season 3 of Twin Peaks. The Return aired on Showtime, a paid subscription channel, and to my great delight, they seem to have given him full artistic license. ![]() It was widely panned at the time because people expected that quirky soap opera schtick to continue and were confronted with something else entirely. Lynch was not allowed to push the envelope very far, and the network forced his hand and made him do things with the story which he did not want to do.įire Walk With Me was a theatrical movie and is a lot more gritty with many scenes that could not have been shown on network TV, and more true to his real vision. Something to keep in mind - season 1&2 were shown on broadcast network TV in the early 90s. ![]() There is a community-maintained Arch User Repository package for VS Code.

Back then the paid version promised perpetual forever updates…. I bought Roboform at the dawn of time (circa 2000 ) because then it was the best (and only) form filler. Sooner or later, the user base of the paid version will also dwindle and the company will fold. The bottom line is this: Free Robofrom is going extinct.

You can also do file transfers with either UltraVNC or RDP (just go to the "local resources" tab when making a connection. However, this does add a "layer" of sorts to RDP or VNC (FYI, VNC (UltraVNC in particular) does support dual-monitors)). The downsides to this setup is mainly the adminstration overhead. I have the ssh session locked down pretty tight (once someone logs in to the ssh server, they don't even get a true shell). So, once someone has connected to the linux box, they have setup on their ssh client to forward local ports to private ip's on the work network (including their ports). Users connect to the SSH firewall (which only has the usual http/s, etc. I control the passwords for the SSH box, and so can implement a password policy that is independent (and therefore tighter) than the AD password policy. This gives me 2 levels of logon tracking, and uses a proven connection method from the outside world. I setup an SSH session to a linux firewall I have (you could use any computer or network or device running ssh). Keep in mind that VNC does give you the ability to tack on some serious encryption, but in my experience RDP has better performance.3) Tunnel over SSH. In my experience there are a few options:1) VPN connection, already discussed.2) Port forward of RDP (or VNC if you wanted). but for remote desktop, USE REMOTE DESKTOP.My $0.75. you can easily implement it.For a very small shop needing access to one PC, I could never justify setting up a full-blown VPN solution (due to labor cost) when a simple port forward would work equally well.If they needed FILE access from outside, that'd be different. AFAIK, most VPNs will let you set a blank password if you really want it.Yarness, why don't you have control over what they set? It's called password policy. Hell, RDP even prevents a login entirely for a user with a blank password. Which, coincedentally, is about how hard the RDP is. "Hardened." Your VPN is only as hard as the easiest password. You only have to make sure your VPN system/enpoints are hardened, and usually they are designed that way. but if you have no password, good luck.quote:I like VPN then use apps (including RDP), reduces exposure. Yeah, if you can get a password, it's a whole 'nother ball of wax. I'd love to see you hax0r Windows from the logon screen with nothing but a keyboard and mouse. It is DESIGNED to be exposed to (wherever) because it's made for REMOTE ACCESS. Care to explain this futher? It's a single port. If you have a kernel or application vulnerability, it is exploitable. the problem is this exposes machines and inbound ports that shouldn't be to the internet.

As the liveUSB was detected as /dev/sda, the local disk on the server appeared as /dev/sdb. Of course, since I was working over serial console, I didn't want to enter runlevel 5 and launch X11.įrom the command line, I then checked if the server's disks and partitions were being recognized with fdisk and tried to repair the ext3 filesystem using fsck. SystemRescueCD includes almost all the CLI disk utilities you can think of as well as GUI tools like gparted. I used a serial console baud rate of 115200 bps because that's what the MPCBL0030 supports. RHEL requires two consoles to be specified, console=tty0 console=ttyS0, baudRate but I couldn't get serial console output working in SysRecCD when using the RHEL syntax. You can see that the serial console kernel parameters used for SystemRescueCD differ from those used in RHEL. ![]() You should be able to observe the boot messages over serial console using your communication program of choice (i.e. linux rescue64 initrd=initram.igz console=ttyS0,115200 textĪfter editing the kernel parameters, press and SysRecCd will boot the Linux kernel with the options specified.

Since SystemRescueCD version 0.26, serial console support is compiled into the linux kernel, so adding serial console options to the end of the kernel line in the bootloader works just fine. In the case of RHEL, you would press 'e' at the GRUB menu on the selected kernel and then add the following at the end of the line kernel= (assuming a baud rate of 57600 bps): In order to boot Linux and see all output over serial console instead of on a monitor, it is necessary to edit the kernel parameters in the boot loader. Also no KVM switch was available on the rack, so the only way to interact with the server was over serial console. I had used this utility distro on personal machines (netbooks, laptops, desktop) at home, but on this particular day, I was working on an ATCA MPCBL0030 (Intel) blade with no separate video output. on host systems with boot, storage, or other problems.

Luckily, I happened to have a 2GB USB stick in my backpack that had SystemRescueCD v. Unfortunately, the server that failed to boot was running RHEL 5.8. I therefore thought it would be a good idea to create liveUSB's of RHEL so I could boot into Redhat rescue mode when servers fail to boot or have disk errors, but creating live USB media from RHEL iso images isn't straightforward.įor RHEL 7.X, Redhat recommends using dd to write the iso file onto a USB memory stick, but this method doesn't seem to work when used with DVD iso files for RHEL5. This is a hassle because some servers don't have optical drives and it's inconvenient to carry around a bunch of CD/DVD's. At work I mostly deal with servers using Redhat Enterprise Linux versions anywhere from 4.X(!!) to 7.X, so I used to carry around a CD case containing RHEL v.4~7 DVD's. Recently I found myself without any RHEL DVD's or liveUSB's when encountering a server that failed with disk errors on reboot.
![]() Good news is that if you switch between Essentials and Complete, the program remembers your preferences for laying out the menus so it stays consistent. The Complete workspace layout is a bit more involved with an additional Learning Center docked on the right-hand side. The right tool bar by default handles the colour palette options and can also be docked by right-clicking and selecting that option. It is a pretty extensive list and would likely cover the requirements for most average users. Adding or removing functions is easily done by clicking on the plus (+) at the bottom and selecting from the choices available. The left tool bar can be moved, docked, floated or stretched out to a single column of buttons. ![]() The Essentials workspace layout is very simple and clean with the usual central space dedicated to the image, a menu bar at the top, tool bar options to the left and right, and an image browsing interface (similar to Adobe Bridge) at the bottom. There is also access directly within the program to purchase extra textures, software (including an upgrade to the Ultimate version) and lots of different plugins and special effect options.Ĭreating a new file offers choices from a custom design and several different image or document presets.

For our purposes here, this review will only cover the Standard version. PaintShop Pro 2018 is available in both Standard ($64.99 USD) and Ultimate ($79.99 USD) options, where Ultimate includes some other potentially useful Corel programs. With a new set of skills under my belt, it’s time to see what PaintShop Pro 2018 can offer once again. Now, I have spent the last three years learning to use Photoshop to creatively edit my images beyond straight photography. It was laid out in a similar way to Photoshop, functioned very similarly and to a certain extent was just as difficult to learn for a newbie. PSP (as it was known in the day) could do quite a bit of what Photoshop did, it had layers and masking, support for graphics tablets, and for the majority of people who just wanted to be creative, was a very cost-effective option. Since then, Corel bought the program and invested in further development. So being able to offer them an alternative for around $200 meant I made a lot of sales of what was then PaintShop Pro Version 7. ![]() A lot of people came in asking for Photoshop and were understandably shocked when they were informed the price was $1500.
