schestowitz> That usually means opening a support ticket from the official account.Nov 07 08:07

schestowitzThanks for the tip. For now, Rianne and I both use it with ssh -X and Barrier (from both our machines) and with password rather than keys. We're the only one with pi/admin access. We use that for monitoring systems and nothing else for now.Nov 07 08:17

schestowitzI did not know this was possible. The screen has multiple inputs, different typos, so it's not a problem, e.g. with a physical switch. It's an AOC. Not the politician.... bought in 2013.Nov 07 08:28
