RustDesk: I Found This Open-Source TeamViewer Alternative Impressive!
RustDesk is a fantastic secure remote desktop tool. Let's take it for a spin!Sourav Rudra (It's FOSS News)

This is a smart move on the part of DarkSky International. It is increasingly clear that the way to achieve anything like a peaceful coexistence between astronomers and the commercial space industry is to invest in technology development. The D&QS Act would fund such work in part and make brightness/radio mitigations accessible to more companies planning to launch in coming years.

Long covid death:
"Sergio Mendes, the Brazilian-born pianist, composer and arranger who brought bossa nova music to a global audience in the 1960s," had died.
"His family said in a statement that his death, in a hospital, was caused by long Covid."
#Lviv said farewell to the Bazylevych family, mum and three children, who lost their lives in a russian missile strike early on 4th September. No words, just heartbreak 💔

in reply to petsoi • • •Yeah it's pretty awesome. My only gripe with it is the fact that it is super annoying when you want to send a client with your self-hosted urls to a customer.
You can either awkardly add it to the filename or you need to fork the client and build it yourself. Kind of sucks that the easier custom client function is stuck behind their subscription.

Getting an end to end connection through todays internet is unfortunately not easy for an average user.

in reply to petsoi • • •Rustdesk looks good on the outside, but if you look inside, it has a really bad codebase and has done some sketchy stuff in the past.
Last year, it installed custom root certificates as trusted on windows, which is a huge security risk: github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk/d…
On linux systems, it forced its own autostart with no option to disable this behavior: github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk/i…
In the past, when it didn’t have Wayland support yet, it edited your GDM config and just disabled wayland: github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk/b…
Furthermore, the code quality is really bad. 90% of the linux platform-dependant code is just executing shell commands and parsing their output, while the same could be achieved in a safe way with proper rust builtins: github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk/b…
While I agree that Rustdesk works pretty flawlessly, the codebase and the behavior of the developers made me distrust the software and I don’t recommend using it.

in reply to angel • • •@petsoi@discuss.tchncs.de you might want to add that warning to the post.
They also tried to submit the app to Flathub, but had way too broad permissions with no explanation why. "Users expect filesystem access" etc. In the end it was rejected and they publish a .flatpak file themselves.

The other points are far worse though.

The person(s?) maintaining this seems to be VERY BAD at communicating. They did fix the auto start problem but did not at all discuss this from what I see. Thats not great.

The fact that it keeps getting hosted in countries that have freedom problems, such as China and Russia, does concern me, though.

I can't find much on tech impeding laws online, whatever search terms I enter related to China and privacy just leads me to articles about their data protection law.
(edit: and their 2017 cybersecurity law)

in reply to angel • • •Really sad about this, because Rust Desk has been the absolute best remote access tool I've ever used in the IT world, and that includes many different professional tools like Ninja& Teamviewer.
It's so clean, easy to install and run, fast and low latency, handles multi-monitors great, runs on mobile, Linux, Windows, etc.
Such a shame that it is mired in controversy.

in reply to Rambomst • • •And sadly MeshCentral is pretty much death development wise, isn't it? The main dev left Intel and now has not enough time for the project, wasn't that the story?
Edit: it seems to be developed again, much slower,though. But better than nothing.

in reply to philpo • • •philpo
in reply to Rambomst • • •I must actually revoke my statement,it seems like it is now being revived and is developed again, at a much slower pace,though.
But much better than nothing and at least security updates seem to be working.
Sorry for the misinformation, my bad, the different sources are quite misleading sometimes.
Catsrules
in reply to Rambomst • • •Have you tried changing the default view from Columns to List? IMO it makes the UI much better. Then you can add in a more details about each PC on the main view. Make is very useful if you have a lot of computers you are managing.
You can also switch from the left bar interface to top bar interface. That looks better to me. Also dark mode.

This is a massive security risk and they have had so much controversy. They also routinely delete Github issues and discussions that question them. To top it off they are likely Chinese run.

in reply to devfuuu • • •As an american, the amount of people who refuse to accept that American Propaganda exists is staggering. I had an immediate reaction to seeing "China is good though" and I have no way of knowing if it's justified because I've been my told my entire life that China is an evil shithole by American propaganda.
To take it a step further and say "America doesn't have your best interest at heart" is deeply unsettling to the vast majority of Americans who blindly hand away their freedoms in the name of Freedom. Wait until people find out that our country is just like all the ones we're taught to hate

in reply to devfuuu • • •sunbeam60
in reply to refalo • • •Of course China uses encryption. So an obtuse, direct reading of that statement allows you, correctly, to say the commenter is wrong.
But what the commenter probably meant was “China bans the use of encryption that prevents the Chinese state from reading what is being exchanged” and that is confidently right. I’ve operated teams in China where we had a secret category 1 incident when it was discovered a couple of our devs had set up a VPN between a Chinese and a western service that didn’t go through the official Chinese-state controlled VPN services.
They absolutely do not want data they cannot read.

And in terms of “state controlled VPN” services, it’s not that the Chinese state runs honeypot VPNs for companies (though they most definitely do for their own citizens), but that to have a license to operate a cloud service in China, you have to enforce CSL and that means they get private companies, western too, to do their bidding. If you encrypt data, you’ll get a stern call (as we did).

It depends on what you are trying to do. You also could do something like Tailscale + TightVNC

in reply to Possibly linux • • •Catsrules
in reply to Wispy2891 • • •Completely disagree. Meshcentral is amazing. I use it almost everyday. Sure it has some querks, and I am not a fan of the default layout but that is an easy change.
It is certainly not discontinued.
Yes Ylian (the developer) was laid off from Intel and later started working at Microsoft. But the project is still alive and well. (He owns the domain so he was able to keep the website alive. Another user (Si458) Has taken up alot of the development (30 commits this month ) and Ylian has also continued development although much less now he has a day job. (1 Commit this month)
The only thing that got discontinued was the publicly hosted server of MC. That was costing to much and it required to much maintenance now this became a side project. So you will need to self host it now.

Github page has been fixed!

in reply to Catsrules • • •Yay everything is back
I wanted it to control the computers via Intel amt, but the official tools sucked. Went to download and they were removed: of course he had to be fired after multiple decades to make the shareholders happy
From that day i am boycotting Intel, you have customers that paid a premium for fucking Intel vpro and then you fire the guy who in his free time made an invaluable tool that increased your corporate sales???

Easy to remote register over ssh just by sending the installer plus running with server name plus key, then setting a static password.
I still think gaming wide moonlight is great though. You won't really regret that.
