Rustdesk - an open source Remote Desktop solution.

I've used TeamViewer for years because for family remote support, it fits perfectly... until today when TV said I was using it commercially.

Fine. Go kick rocks, guys. Your offering has been less and less compelling of late. is better and easier to set up.

@RL_Dane @jonyoder Here's a scenario. With Anydesk, my dad has it installed. He asks me to fix a bug on his machine. I can't do it right away. He goes off and moves on with life. I go to log into his machine a few hours later using the Anydesk credentials while he's out- and- about to fix the bug.
Unattended Access.

Ah, so it opens the session without presenting you with an unlock screen.

I think that does work, but you'd want to test it on a local box to be sure.

But probably test out rustdesj first, especially if you want to use it on mobile.

Binary version of #RustDesk in #NixOS, when? Spending way too much time compiling endless #Rust crates when doing 'nixos-rebuild switch'

@Atemu probably unfree?

@raito @Atemu RustDesk itself is gpl3 but it depends on libsciter which contains a compiled so with unclear license situation, hence it is marked unfree.

Dites, étant KO depuis plusieurs jours, vous conseilleriez quoi comme alternative qui va bien (moderne, rapide, efficace, avec des favoris, un service sur les ordis) ?

33 days ago I wanted to checkout which is a floss remote desktop tool like TeamViewer. While trying to get a price estimate, I faced a bug in their form. So like any sensible FLOSS loving person, I sent their sales team an email, reported the bug with screenshots and etc., and asked for the price for my use-case.

Fast forward 33 days I got the following reply:

> You can only choose the personal plan.

No hi, no bye, no nothing, just 33 characters in plain text.

Should I be happy?

Basically they ignored the bug report, they throw at me a free plan without clarification, they didn't follow email-writing etiquette (Grammarly has a good condensed list if you are interested), and most importantly, it took them 21.41 hours per character for the reply (including spaces and punctuation).

In my book, this is a company to avoid at any cost, because you will never get support for what you paid for in timely manner. But still my question stands:

Should I be happy? 🤔

Ich verwende seit einige Zeit als Fernwartung und verzichte auf ganz gezielt. Das Ergebnis kann sich sehen lassen. Die Funktionalitaet ist in etwas gleich und die die Geschwindigkeit ist bei weitem nicht so schlecht wie ich dachte. Daumen hoch

for ever :-)

@nippon das wollte ich auch mal testen und muss dann leider feststellen, dass es für mein Fedora (noch?) keinen Release gab bzw keine Pakete :(

Muss nochmal nachforschen. Habe viel gutes gehört bisher.

RustDesk is genuinely one of the most useful services I self-host. I just started rendering the Blender video for the next Linux Lads episode on my desktop on the other side of the US from a car driving to Las Vegas for DEF CON :cirno_UwU:

(I'm in the passenger seat :neofox_lul:)

Finally switched all my TeamViewer remotes to self-hosted ones. It's awesome.

Rustdesk is not terribly well known on the Internet; but having used it for a good few months now I've been impressed with its reliability.

While most of the discussion on can currently be found on https://old.reddit.com/r/rustdesk/, I thought it might be useful to have a presence here in the fediverse - kbin in this instance - to assist with questions and raise awareness of this app.
