[692.02 --> 694.72] But, you know, $200 is a lot for some people. |
[694.82 --> 698.76] So they've also made a demo server available is what they call it. |
[699.04 --> 701.64] Now, this demo server is significantly limited. |
[701.64 --> 705.62] Only one relay connection allowed, no NAT traversal. |
[706.14 --> 709.58] You really kind of have to be prepared for like a very limited experience. |
[709.78 --> 712.18] But it's a demo server that's quote unquote free. |
[712.32 --> 712.96] It's open source. |
[713.46 --> 715.18] You could run it on your machine right now. |
[715.26 --> 716.96] They make a Docker container available for it. |
[717.74 --> 723.68] But because it's open source, the community could, in theory, take their spec implementation |
[723.68 --> 729.24] and build a more feature complete, self-hostable Rust desk server. |
[729.24 --> 734.00] And I think if Rust desk continues to take off and really makes itself an appealing alternative |
[734.00 --> 738.04] to TeamViewer, I could really see the community stepping up and taking the spec implementation |
[738.04 --> 740.92] that they make available for free and building it into something else. |
[741.06 --> 742.26] So I'm kind of going all in. |
[742.30 --> 745.42] I loaded it on all the machines that I would need to build a remote support in the studio. |
[745.82 --> 746.48] How's the performance? |
[746.66 --> 747.56] A lot of these things. |
[747.64 --> 749.30] You mentioned VNC a few minutes ago. |
[749.84 --> 755.04] I just have memories of that thing just not working very well or not updating the cursor |
[755.04 --> 757.12] unless something's moving elsewhere on the screen. |
[757.40 --> 758.06] How's this work? |
[758.06 --> 758.68] Oh, yeah. |
[758.74 --> 760.46] So many old cursor problems with VNC. |
[761.08 --> 766.02] And are watching like the screen paint as you wait. |
[766.74 --> 767.94] No, it's good. |
[768.04 --> 768.46] It's great. |
[768.54 --> 771.56] In fact, I'd say it is absolutely comparable with TeamViewer's performance. |
[772.44 --> 775.40] I didn't get a chance to dig in under the hood to see what they're using. |
[775.60 --> 781.48] If they're using VNC, it is absolutely by far the fastest, bestest, most incredible |
[781.48 --> 783.28] implementation of VNC I've ever seen. |
[783.60 --> 786.40] I'd suspect it must be something else, though, because the performance is great. |
[786.40 --> 787.68] There's no mouse ghosting. |
[788.54 --> 793.34] And I was absolutely happy, even while having three connections going simultaneously. |
[794.02 --> 796.72] Well, that's the beauty of it being open source, right? |
[797.42 --> 798.54] We can go and have a look if we want. |
[798.96 --> 799.36] You can. |
[799.50 --> 800.50] We could go dig around it. |
[800.50 --> 804.02] In fact, if the community has another one that they like, I know there's a few out there |
[804.02 --> 805.76] that kind of are trying to solve this problem. |
[805.90 --> 806.36] Let us know. |
[807.12 --> 808.96] Selfhosted.show slash contact. |
[808.96 --> 813.14] Now, just looking through the source code, I mean, there's a file in the source called |
[813.14 --> 818.32] windows.cc, and it mentions UltraVNC has RDP support. |
[818.58 --> 822.64] Do you need to use a normal VNC client for this, or do they provide everything that you |
[822.64 --> 822.90] need? |
[823.16 --> 823.32] Yep. |
[823.36 --> 828.60] They bring you install the client on your OS, and you can set up a session ID. |
[828.70 --> 829.86] You plug it in there, and it connects. |
[830.10 --> 834.24] Once you connect once, it saves it in a recent sessions area, so you can just double click |
[834.24 --> 835.64] to reconnect to the machine again. |
[835.64 --> 840.92] Then once you're in there, you get a viewer that lets you scale the screen image or set |
[840.92 --> 845.12] it to the actual resolution, and it has a little bar along the top that lets you switch between |
[845.12 --> 848.50] multiple monitors if you're remoting into a system that has multiple screens. |
[848.88 --> 853.20] It also gives you a few other quick options that you might want, like send a few keystrokes |
[853.20 --> 854.58] and stuff like that. |
[855.22 --> 859.96] And the UI, when you launch it, either to connect to someone or if you want to allow an inbound |
[859.96 --> 863.58] connection, it's just that one UI, and it gives you your ID, and you set a password |
[863.58 --> 864.42] right there. |
[864.42 --> 865.16] Very cool. |
[865.28 --> 865.40] Yeah. |
[865.40 --> 866.58] That looks like a great project. |
[866.86 --> 868.08] One caveat, though. |
[869.06 --> 873.78] Unfortunately, at this time, it does not support Wayland on Linux. |
[874.04 --> 874.64] Oh, God. |
[875.26 --> 877.46] Why is there always a gotcha like this? |
[877.94 --> 880.36] Well, it's the nature of the Linux desktop right now. |
[880.64 --> 882.88] But thankfully, all of our studio systems... |
[882.88 --> 884.14] TeamViewer works on Wayland. |
[884.36 --> 884.96] Yes, it does. |
[885.08 --> 885.62] It does. |
[885.78 --> 886.70] And I'm actually... |
[886.70 --> 891.56] That is one thing I have to give TeamViewer credit for, and why I went with it is, even |
[891.56 --> 894.12] though it gets a lot of hate in the technical community. |
[894.12 --> 899.34] Legitimately, they have been supporting a Linux release now for a very long time. |
[899.34 --> 901.50] And they support Wayland. |
[901.50 --> 903.50] They support Gnome Shell, Plasma. |
[903.74 --> 905.10] Their integration is top-notch. |
[905.62 --> 906.58] And I got to give them credit for it. |
[906.64 --> 907.62] Like, they've built a good product. |
[907.70 --> 908.96] That's why I was willing to pay for it. |
[909.44 --> 912.30] It's just the way that went about the delay in it. |
[912.34 --> 915.88] And then the fact that I have to pay that every single year, it's just not my bag. |
[916.22 --> 917.98] And I always prefer to self-host if I can. |
[918.36 --> 920.60] And now I just have to decide, do I want the spec server? |
[920.86 --> 924.00] Or do I want to pay for the Rust desk server? |
[924.62 --> 925.56] I got to make that decision. |
[925.76 --> 927.96] But I'll play with it some more and decide in the future. |
[928.46 --> 928.64] All right. |
[928.64 --> 929.04] Very good. |
[929.04 --> 930.26] Now, moving on. |
[930.38 --> 932.90] Have you seen this website, shucks.top? |
[933.26 --> 934.68] No, I've never heard of this. |
[934.84 --> 935.72] What is this? |
[935.96 --> 938.22] Somebody put it in the Discord, of course. |
[938.82 --> 944.24] And this website lists you all the different drives that are suitable to be shucked. |
[944.30 --> 945.68] You know how I like shucking drives. |
[945.86 --> 946.16] I do. |
[946.50 --> 951.80] And normally, it's a dashboard of which retailer has which shuckable drive on sale. |
[951.80 --> 966.24] But right now, thanks to crypto and this annoying new Chia coin thing that you can mine coins on hard drives, apparently, hard drives, just like everything else now, are in short supply. |
