some days don’t go as you expect, one route you expect can sudden change and you are all of a sudden heading in another direction. In years passed that would often mean a few weeks of changing your setup, installing hardware and cards and tweaking ‘all the setting’s with the cloud we are seen how useful it can be when you move or upgrade to another platform, even in the case of vulnerabilities or exploits being able to rapidly deploy a workspace to use is key to keeping productive.
Which got me thinking today about how to not only build on top of redundancy and backups but what about platform level too. Kinda think of it as being platform agnostic I guess, being able to deploy quickly, I think I’ve made great strides at this in recent years on the apple platform but I really have a way to go that I can just login to a few places and be up and running again, right now I’d say it’s a few hours because not all things are cloud ready, when they are that’s gonna be awesome, you’ll be able to truly connect into a hyper viser of your work environment and you are ready to go — eventually I guess that’s how is see our current desktops to work but albeit with pop in earphones to talk to our ai like Siri or the AI in the film ‘she’ and vr headsets or hopefully glasses with HUD’s instead.
if not stated some of my photos are from unsplash a free site for images, also you can grab some cool images from nomad.pictures a site i run with
@dayleeo to get pictures out of the camera roll and onto the web
eventually once I’ve got myself sorted I’d like to not only have automated backups truly in place but also distributed so I could just VNC style into remote boxes, mac or otherwise where I could work natively just by an encrypted high speed connection as if it was a location machine, heck if 5G is as low as 1ms latency that should be possible right? I won’t need to travel with a machine, in fact, as long as I have a connection to a network I won’t need a physical machine at all, it can all run in the cloud at a stretch?
Imagine having a series of images that you can connect too, workspaces that contain different things, your writing environment, your editing lab, you render farm and graphics box, even all your investments or real time video collaborations with your teams all as instances running in the cloud, no more worry about maintain infrastructure at all, not effected by patches or updates, I guess this is how some of the software works already virtualised like docker and such like, it just runs on top of the platform it’s on, I’m going to have to explore that further — being able to fire up and effectively destroy that instance after I’m done, sandbox like.
something for me to mull over ready for my new year reboot.
