[390.18 --> 390.88] Can't connect. |
[391.28 --> 392.46] Now I'm starting to get panicked. |
[393.04 --> 394.02] Now I can't get on. |
[394.08 --> 395.22] Now I can't get on the internet. |
[395.28 --> 396.54] I can't get on this live stream. |
[396.58 --> 397.40] I can't get that going. |
[397.40 --> 400.80] You know, Mike doesn't know he's going to be connecting, expecting me to be there. |
[400.80 --> 404.22] The audience is starting to show up in the chat room asking where the stream's at. |
[404.28 --> 405.10] It's starting to get stressful. |
[406.68 --> 412.88] So, you know, I go into business mode and I think to myself, look, you jackass, it's like |
[412.88 --> 419.56] $670 to just buy the commercial license and then you can get access to your machines and |
[419.56 --> 420.32] you can do your show. |
[421.04 --> 422.78] You're going to be traveling more this year. |
[423.40 --> 425.08] Just just pay the damn price. |
[425.08 --> 427.76] So I think about it. |
[427.84 --> 429.54] I know I could self host this. |
[429.62 --> 430.92] I know I shouldn't do this. |
[432.04 --> 433.58] But I want to get on the air. |
[434.02 --> 436.16] The show starts in just a few minutes. |
[436.64 --> 438.22] So I head over to team viewer site. |
[438.38 --> 441.76] I get all logged in, make sure it's all my account stuff is correct. |
[443.28 --> 447.18] And I subscribe to the annual like $670 plan. |
[447.36 --> 448.52] That's a lot of greenbacks. |
[449.30 --> 451.08] Oh, it hurts so bad. |
[451.08 --> 457.10] I mean, I've I've paid more for other subscriptions, but this one in particular, because of how |
[457.10 --> 458.14] they got me into it. |
[459.28 --> 462.84] And because I needed I needed to just do this once, you know, like the way they got me into |
[462.84 --> 465.28] this, but I knew I OK, if I might need to do it more. |
[465.38 --> 465.94] All right, I'll pay. |
[466.02 --> 467.04] I'll pay their license. |
[467.68 --> 468.04] Fine. |
[468.32 --> 470.32] It says instant activation right at the top of the website. |
[470.32 --> 471.58] So I think I'm going to be golden. |
[473.66 --> 479.72] Well, it was Labor Day and the team viewer staff was off that day, Alex, and nobody was |
[479.72 --> 481.50] there to issue me my license. |
[481.82 --> 482.92] Wait, that's not automated. |
[483.82 --> 485.00] That's not instant either. |
[485.30 --> 488.10] And so the time comes. |
[488.20 --> 489.24] We're like five minutes. |
[489.40 --> 490.60] I still haven't gotten activated. |
[490.68 --> 492.72] In fact, it took till the next day until I got activated. |
[493.00 --> 493.86] I was so angry. |
[495.14 --> 500.70] But I figured out that if I did a new install on a new Linux box and connected from the first |
[500.70 --> 504.72] time from that machine to the other machine that I was getting blocked on, I could do it |
[504.72 --> 506.22] from that machine with the free account. |
[506.22 --> 510.14] And I got the stream up and running with like two minutes to spare. |
[510.78 --> 516.20] And I had to then like just let all of that fade and just focus on the show and sit with |
[516.20 --> 520.26] the fact that I spent that nearly $700 and still didn't have the license. |
[520.32 --> 522.06] And I just had to sit with that while I did the show. |
[523.20 --> 530.72] And so I in that moment resigned myself to find a free self-hostable replacement for team |
[530.72 --> 530.94] viewer. |
[531.28 --> 533.12] I would not let this happen to me again. |
[534.08 --> 535.42] And I did some shopping. |
[535.42 --> 537.84] I found a couple of different options. |
[538.38 --> 538.58] I don't know. |
[538.62 --> 541.38] Have you looked in this area yourself before a team viewer replacement? |
[541.56 --> 545.78] No, they've never actually got me with that admin stuff detected. |
[545.90 --> 549.50] I used to use it quite a bit to help family members back in the day. |
[549.64 --> 555.32] But lately, I don't know, technology's matured to the point where I don't often need to remote |
[555.32 --> 556.42] into their systems anymore. |
[556.42 --> 563.30] Well, and in a lot of cases, something like WireGuard with VNC would do mostly what you |
[563.30 --> 564.84] need in a lot of cases. |
[565.22 --> 567.98] But in my case, I sometimes am behind a double NAT. |
[568.06 --> 569.32] I need to be able to traverse that. |
[569.40 --> 570.92] I need to do it from a mobile device. |
[570.98 --> 574.44] I need to be able to do it from a Linux box, a Mac box, anything like that. |
[574.44 --> 576.04] Yeah, that's where team view is really nice. |
[576.12 --> 577.90] It just punches through everything. |
[578.76 --> 581.06] So if you've never used it before, it's pretty slick, actually. |
[581.24 --> 585.92] You type in a nine-digit code, which identifies the other person's server. |
[586.34 --> 589.52] And then they give you a five or six-character password that you type in. |
[590.32 --> 592.26] And yeah, that's how you do it. |
[592.28 --> 593.10] You just connect like that. |
[593.18 --> 598.18] It punches through every firewall, inbound, outbound, whatever, bounces off their servers |
[598.18 --> 598.94] and just works. |
[598.94 --> 603.16] And it makes those remote support situations so much more streamlined with that code. |
[603.64 --> 604.80] And it's simple. |
[605.32 --> 612.36] I tried a few things and Rust Desk came across my, I don't know, maybe it was an email, but |
[612.36 --> 613.40] it came across my path. |
[613.66 --> 617.92] And if you did send it to the show, thank you, because I eventually did get a chance to |
[617.92 --> 618.52] try it out. |
[618.64 --> 621.10] And I really, really like Rust Desk. |
[621.10 --> 633.20] As the name implies, it is built in Rust. |
[633.76 --> 636.68] The client, the front end, is open source. |
[636.88 --> 640.88] They have one for basically every major OS, including your Linuxes out there. |
[641.34 --> 643.18] The front end client is really clean and simple. |
[643.42 --> 647.02] It's a lot like a simplified front end for TeamViewer. |
[647.02 --> 652.08] It runs as a back end service on Linux, so you don't even necessarily have to have it |
[652.08 --> 653.20] up and running on your screen. |
[653.28 --> 654.64] It'll install itself as a service. |
[655.28 --> 656.50] There is a server component. |
[656.92 --> 659.42] Now, by default, you can use their server. |
[659.92 --> 661.90] You can use their server. |
[662.14 --> 663.70] I think there's really no restrictions on it. |
[663.72 --> 667.56] I was able to connect to three machines simultaneously using their free server. |
[668.42 --> 672.84] They do say, though, right on their front page, our server resources are limited, so please |
[672.84 --> 674.40] set up your own server. |
[674.40 --> 677.38] And that's where this gets a little tricky. |
[677.90 --> 686.48] You can pay $200 a year, which is a lot less than $700 for their server, which is all set |
[686.48 --> 691.16] up and nice and lets you do all kinds of connections, and you can run it on your own box for a year. |
