Remote accessing the future for software artifacts
Nobody ever told me that one of the most important things about the Janky Time Machine was snow tires. Doesn’t matter which tomorrow you’re parked in — if you’re not prepared for inclement weather, you’re slipping and sliding through somebody else’s timeline. And we know where that leads. Crashes. And there’s nothing worse than being stranded in a future that’s not your vibe. Especially when you’ve got deliveries waiting in your prime line.
So while the Janky Time Machine is at the tire shop getting new shoes — the mechanic keeps calling it “vintage,” which I think is his polite way of saying “liability” — I figured I’d take the lazy route and just remote in. Turns out my VPN provider supports tunneling into near and adjacent tomorrows. It was buried in the settings under “Experimental” right next to “Route Traffic Through Yesterday” which, trust me, you do not want to enable. So I’m using my considerable hacking skills to tap into a few screens and see what we can find out there.
Today I landed on what appears to be a dashboard for an apartment complex. I’ve managed to make it available for you to click around and explore — get an idea of what’s going on over there. And if you’ve got questions, I also dug up the GitHub repository for this dashboard software, where you might be able to discover a little more about what this is all about.
While the old time traveling clunker is in the shop this week, I might continue to remote into some other locations to bring back some tasty digital artifacts.
