“Unencrypted connection” “This connection is unencrypted. Would you like to continue?”
When you run realVNC to an x11vnc server, even over an ssh tunneled connection, it will produce errors like the screenshots on the right (from an Android device) and below (from a Mac).
Before I had the realVNC client on the Mac, the Android message totally put me on the wrong foot. I tried searching x11vnc encryption, of which almost all results – especially the Google Search abstracts – will talk about ssh tunneling. So tried to setup the client to use the SSH endpoint, but it refused because it doesn’t talk SSH.
So then I installed a desktop realVNC client (in this case on my Mac) and got this message:
“Unencrypted connection” “The connection to this VNC Server will not be encrypted”
Then it occurred to me that maybe the VNC server itself could do encryption as well and would not need an SSH tunnel after all. And it does even in the first hit:

Boy, I totally missed that the Google Photos search has become this smart: [WayBack] 8 Brilliant Search Tools Hidden Within Google Photos:
Google Photos’ search tools have powerful algorithms that are on par with that of Google’s search engine.
Things I tried so far at photos.google.com and they all work, most way better than I anticipated:

Cool tool:
MultiBootUSB is a cross platform software written in python which allows you to install multiple live linux on a USB disk non destructively and option to uninstall distros. Try out the world’s first true cross platform multi boot live usb creator for free. Download Now!
Information and downloads on [WayBack] MultiBootUSB.
There are actually a few repositories within [WayBack] mbusb (multibootusb) · GitHub of which one has a ruby implementation as well.
A more elaborate article is on [WayBack] How to Install Multiple Linux Distributions on One USB, but the site should get you going just fine.

For my link archive below a few links from “cushion treemap” delphi – Google Search.
The reason: I like Sequoiaview a lot, but it has a few issues (of which I wrote in SequoiaView Homepage) and lacks a few things too.
WinDirStat is nice, but could be a lot cleaner. Both lack one feature I’d love to have: light-weight automatic updating on NTFS volumes.
Everything does the latter, but does not do graphical output as it is focused on being a blindingly fast indexing and searching tool (I like it a lot so there is even a category on my blog for it: Everything by VoidTools).
It would be cool if both could be hooked together, which would require a cushion treemap in Delphi and an API to access the Everything database.
So here are links that might help with the first:

It has been mentioned a few times already, but for my link archive: [WayBack] GitHub – pleriche/FastMM5: FastMM is a fast replacement memory manager for Embarcadero Delphi applications that scales well across multiple threads and CPU cores, is not prone to memory fragmentation, and supports shared memory without the use of external .DLL files.
Version 5 is a complete rewrite of FastMM. It is designed from the ground up to simultaneously keep the strengths and address the shortcomings of version 4.992:
- Multithreaded scaling across multiple CPU cores is massively improved, without memory usage blowout. It can be configured to scale close to linearly for any number of CPU cores.
- In the Fastcode memory manager benchmark tool FastMM 5 scores 15% higher than FastMM 4.992 on the single threaded benchmarks, and 30% higher on the multithreaded benchmarks. (I7-8700K CPU, EnableMMX and AssumeMultithreaded options enabled.)
- It is fully configurable runtime. There is no need to change conditional defines and recompile to change options. (It is however backward compatible with many of the version 4 conditional defines.)
- Debug mode uses the same debug support library as version 4 (FastMM_FullDebugMode.dll) by default, but custom stack trace routines are also supported. Call FastMM_EnterDebugMode to switch to debug mode (“FullDebugMode”) and call FastMM_ExitDebugMode to return to performance mode. Calls may be nested, in which case debug mode will be exited after the last FastMM_ExitDebugMode call.
- Supports 8, 16, 32 or 64 byte alignment of all blocks. Call FastMM_EnterMinimumAddressAlignment to request a minimum block alignment, and FastMM_ExitMinimumAddressAlignment to rescind a prior request. Calls may be nested, in which case the coarsest alignment request will be in effect.
- All event notifications (errors, memory leak messages, etc.) may be routed to the debugger (via OutputDebugString), a log file, the screen or any combination of the three. Messages are built using templates containing mail-merge tokens. Templates may be changed runtime to facilitate different layouts and/or translation into any language. Templates fully support Unicode, and the log file may be configured to be written in UTF-8 or UTF-16 format, with or without a BOM.
- It may be configured runtime to favour speed, memory usage efficiency or a blend of the two via the FastMM_SetOptimizationStrategy call.
