HOWTO: install Remmina on CentOS 8 stream

Remmina is a remote access screen and file sharing to your desktop. I need to access to a lot of computers. One can think that we can work with any VNC client, but sometimes it’s not enough. So here’s the official installation documentation and below you have my installation log. Step by step:

~]# dnf install epel-release

I will now come back to write about the last book I finish, that I will backpost, since I like to have the book reviews published on Wednesdays. Actually I’m kind of losing my mood to write again. We will see if it comes back, as usual it does.

Dream: running around

I have visited a few mayor cities, like Tokyo, Amsterdam, London, Rome, so many times, that sometimes they mix in my dreams. Last dream I was hanging around with a band of guys that I don’t remember from anywhere and can be easily identified with the two in the krea.ai generated picture above. OK, my leader was blonde, maybe more similar to the vampire leader of the Lost Boys, but the feeling is the same. Sorry it’s not an easy game to extract the images from a dream, even with these new tools. But allow me to continue. So I was carried around by this gang and the leader proposes something nasty, like “let’s crash this shop” or similar. I decide not to join, like in the movie referred above, and I’m therefore abandoned in a crossroad. Just to find out that with them, I have lost also my trousers and my pants. And I spent the rest of the dream trying to hide my junk from the by-passers while trying to find some suitable clothes. Because sometimes you just have a normal dream 😀
