Show HN: This is what happens when you VNC into the machine you are VNCing from

3 pointsby SethWilsonabout 14 years ago
Last night I was testing that I could VNC into my home machine remotely. I used the external URL to VNC into my machine using the built-in Mac OS X screen sharing tool, and within seconds my machine was spawning VNC window after VNC window<p>I had to snap the pic with my phone since the resources on the machine were quickly used up.<p>I was wondering if I would be sucked into the digital vortex it was creating and then have to start racing my processes on really cool motorcycles but that didn't happen &#60;grin&#62;<p>I thought it was cool so I thought I would share.<p>nJoy.

I always thought it would have been a funny easter egg to have VNC simply mirror the screen. So it appears that you're looking <i>out</i> from the monitor...
