Well first there was TeamViewer which was VNC with more bells and whistles then it became enshittified. Then anydesk came along and ate up teamviewer then that became enshittified, Now we have rustdesk which seems to hopefully be a bit more immune to being enshittified.If you already use VNC this is not something for you

What is rustdesk and how is it distinct from vnc?

Menu css looks a bit dodgy with the notification at the top:<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;files.catbox.moe&#x2F;d5ztxi.jpg" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;files.catbox.moe&#x2F;d5ztxi.jpg</a>

Okay. The feature I&#x27;m waiting for is the self-hosted web client.

&gt; A modern consumer GPU can crack &quot;four random English words&quot; in a day.Sure, if you can rely on users using a specific format. The joy of the xkcd technique is you don&#x27;t need to tell other people what yours is.But, people just aren&#x27;t going to remember strings of gibberish. Expecting users to do this is just silly.

It&#x27;s open-source, so just build it yourself with the tiny change. Something this trivial could be done with a 30 second prompt at this point, so there&#x27;s not even an excuse of &quot;too much effort&quot;.I will note that the XKCD password scheme being proposed there is, in fact, completely insecure. A modern consumer GPU can crack &quot;four random English words&quot; in a day. You can argue that it&#x27;s the user&#x27;s choice to be allowed to use insecure passwords, but arguing that that scheme is actually secure is just wrong.

RustDesk should fix their password requirements: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;rustdesk&#x2F;rustdesk&#x2F;discussions&#x2F;2888" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;rustdesk&#x2F;rustdesk&#x2F;discussions&#x2F;2888</a>

You can already do this with VNC or Xpra (the latter is a screen&#x2F;tmux for graphical applications).

For a remote Linux system you can also do a lot over plain SSH as well.

so this means I can be on a vacation, turn on my ubuntu desktop remotely, login and control it ? I have a strong need for this as my desktop is also a server

RustDesk now supports true unattended remote access on Wayland
