6, Tips

6.1, For vim,  'Ctrl + ['  equals to 'Esc'
6.2, Screens for vnc
6.3, it is of course definitely possible to connect an external monitor to an IPP with the USB-C connector (or beamer). Either through VGA or HDMI.  Via Lightning to USB Camera Adapter

6.4,

So one thing that might be useful is when you exit your little server to have it automatically shut down so you don’t need to keep remembering to kill the server via the app. If you want to do this without needing to enter a password each time, firstly run this command to start editing the sudoers file.

sudo visudo

Then add this line to allow passwordless access to poweroff commands.

username   ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /sbin/poweroff, /sbin/reboot, /sbin/shutdown

Then create an alias for your user so that when you hit exit, it actually shuts down the machine. Put this in your .bashrc or .zshrc or whatever rc your shell uses.

alias exit=’sudo poweroff’
