What is the restaurant web site? You'd need to examine the web traffic
using Wireshark to see exactly what is happening and where the redirect
originates.

Re: [PLUG] Other options besides VNC (or RDP)

2017-02-18 Thread Chuck Hast
I guess I am being a bit dense here, but I do not see a reason not to use
VNC
for controlling a rig under RPi control. I used to get into my RPi's all
the time
from some variant of VNC on a phone/tablet/laptop/desktop choose your OS
poison... I use (been a while) Chirp on a RPi to control a Icom handheld, I
run
it headless and use a tablet to VNC into the thing and program the radio. I
just
turn on the RPi, as soon as I see the network ligth start flashing in a
certain way
I know it is talking to my little ittybitty pocket router. I pull up the
tablet ping it, if
it pings, I VNC into it and fire up Chirp then mod the radio shut it down
and I am
done.  I think that is about the only thing I use VNC for, the rest of it
is all term-
inal sessions or I have a UI on the screen in front of me.

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions and ideas.

I'll be looking into them.

To expand on the why:

I am looking at a Raspberry Pi running headless to connect to my Yaesu 
FT-857D and Signalink USB.  Then use a phone, tablet or laptop as the 
terminal.  This way I don't have to dedicate my netbook, laptop, tablet 
or phone.  There would also be the option to connect a display, keyboard 
and mouse or some combination of them to the Pi.

Again thanks for the replies.

Re: [PLUG] mobile only website hijacking

2017-02-18 Thread Daniel Herrington
Thanks Ed. I just don't understand how a typo or bug in the mobile version
of the site on wix.com sends the mobile request to a fully formed mobile
website for the restaurant on places.singleplatform.com.

Im trying to understand how ultimately this happens. Is it code in their
main website that redirects based on the identification of a mobile device?
The question then becomes how did it get there, was it something they
accidentially enabled, wix itself, or singleplatform taking advantage of my
buddies website on wix?

thanks,
Dan H.

I used No Machine when it was known as FreeNX on Linux and thought it was
the best remote access software out there at the time before web browser
remote access was a thing.

I haven't looked at it in a few years and after a quick review of NoMachine
ver. 5, it's very clear that there has been extensive development done.
Some great features to me are: multiple monitor support, headless linux
server and extended x-window support.

I wish I currently had a reason to use it. I may have to invent one!

I would contact wix.com before you assume a highjacking. There probably
is a typo or bug in the mobile version site formatting - e.g.,
computer/laptop monitor vs. phone vs tablet - or possibly DNS since it
looks like singleplatform uses squarespace as host.

Also, wix is not automatically mobile responsive - although the desktop
templates should be viewable on the mobile device - so you need to set
up the mobile version via an editor.

[PLUG] mobile only website hijacking

2017-02-18 Thread Daniel Herrington
All,

I'm hoping someone can help me understand how web presence companies such
as singleplatform hijack a restaurants mobile site?

My friends site returns correctly on the laptop, but redirects to
singleplatform's site, in what appears to be a redirect after you hit the
actual mobile site. The site is on wix.com, and the whois shows my buddy
still owns the domain.

thanks,
