Making TRAMP go Brrrr

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-07 10:46:03

I recently changed jobs and found myself in a position where I would need to do a lot of work on remote machines. Since I am Emacs user, the most common way to do this is using TRAMP (Transparent Remote access, Multiple Protcol). TRAMP is an Emacs package that let’s you treat a remote host like a local system, similar to VSCode Remote Development Extension. I had used TRAMP before and it tended to be slow. Since I would be using it all day now I figured I should take some time to make it faster.

On Saturday night, with the B-2 stealth bombers that dropped a dozen GBU-57 “bunker buster” bombs on the Fordow underground nuclear facility just beginning their flights back to the US, Trump declared the mission a comp

Is Elon Musk Afraid of Donald Trump?

gizmodo.com Luc Olinga 2025-09-07 13:35:51

Something is off. Elon Musk, the billionaire “technoking,” professional loudmouth, and geopolitical hobbyist, has gone silent. More than 48 hours after the United States bombed three Iranian nuclear sites — Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan — triggering fears of a wider war, the man who has a take on everything suddenly has none. This isn’t normal. It’s rare. The context is explosive. As the world awaits Iran’s response, President Donald Trump warned of more strikes and openly mused about regime ch

The Trump Organization drew headlines last week when it announced the launch of Trump Mobile, a cell service with plans to release a gold T1 phone in September. One of its selling points, according to the website, is that the T1 phone is "Proudly made in America," though that does not appear it will be the case when the phone launches, among other issues. An independent phone maker based in San Francisco, however, has been working on the closest thing to a smartphone made almost entirely in the
