BirdBox vs dataplicity - Terminal for Pi Usage & Stats

BirdBox allows you to run desktop Thunderbird on an Android device. What is BirdBox? BirdBox is not Thunderbird itself and is not a Mozilla project, but instead is a compatibility layer that sets up a Linux desktop with Thunderbird, launches it, renders it and provides a way to interact with it. What features does it provide? *Send and receive emails *Mail account setup wizard *Tabbed emails *Search tools *Attachment reminders *Contacts management *Etc How to Use BirdBox? Use it just like normal. But here are some specifics to the app. * Tap with one figure to click. * Pinch to zoom. * Slide two fingers up and down to scroll. * If you want to bring up a keyboard, tap on the screen to get a set of icons to appear and then click the keyboard icon. * Hold and slide one finger to pan (useful when zoomed in). * If you want to do the equivalent to a right click, tap with two fingers. * If you want to change the scaling or the dns settings, find the service android notification and click the settings. You have to stop and restart the app after changing these settings for them to take effect. Why Use BirdBox? BirdBox is the only way to get Thunderbird on Android. Also desktop Thunderbird has a different set of features than the planned Thunderbird mobile app. Other tidbits: BirdBox is fully open source with the source code posted on github: https://github.com/CypherpunkArmory/BirdBox

dataplicity - Terminal for Pi

Remotely access your Raspberry Pi shell from any network without dynamic DNS, portforwarding or VPN. For more information, visit https://www.dataplicity.com/ * DOES IT WORK BEHIND NAT? Yes. The client initiates a secure websockets connection to the Dataplicity service. This means that it works most places where there are firewalls, NAT or other network obstructions in place. * HOW DATAPLICITY WORKS The Dataplicity client uses a opportunistically-connected secure web connection to provide a communications channel between your device and Dataplicity, and your web browser attaches to the other end of that channel. * DO I NEED TO ENABLE SSH? No. Dataplicity does not require SSH, telnet or any other network services to operate. The client is self-contained and does not open any network ports on the device. * DOES IT OPEN A LOCAL PORT ON THE PI? No. Client connections are initiated from the device end and do not open any local ports. * DO I NEED TO INSTALL SOMETHING ON THE PI? Yes, you need to install the Dataplicity agent on the Pi. You can view the source on GitHub. * DOES DATAPLICITY AGENT RUN AS ROOT? No. When you log into the Dataplicity shell you still need to explicitly ask for super user rights to gain full control.
