White paper thought experiment

What is this about

There are many theories about what time is. What is the future, and what is the past? Do they exist at all? Is there only one future and one past? Is the universe really fundamentally indeterministic, or is everything predetermined? I can't answer these questions, and maybe humanity will never be able to do so, but we can think about the implications different natures of time would have.

I like determinism. I like the idea that everything follows a fixed set of rules, that with infinite computing

	# This sctipt can be added in /etc/inittab in any system with traditional init systems
	# to replace the login prompt whith a selection of VMs

	# This script uses virsh to get list of all local lxc and qemu VMs managed using libvirt.
	# The list will be displayed using dialog. When selecting a VM, this script attempts to
	# get a spice or vnc display. It will connect to those with spice-client or directvnc.
	# If no display is available, virsh console is used to connect to the vm console.

	# but does support rtp multicast over rtsp, then this program will help. It's an
	# rtsp server which simply tells the client to use the rtp stream encoded in the rtsp URI.
	# For example, with "vlc rtsp://127.0.0.1:8090/rtp/239.1.2.50:5004", it'll tell vlc
	# that there is an h264 rtp multicast stream at 239.1.2.50:5004.
