An open-source, self-hosted remote desktop solution can be more secure.


Is there one that supports MS RDP or FreeRDP? For me that would be quite an improvement, if the people who need support don't need to install anything and it's built-in in their OS. The other issue with RDP/FreeRDP/TeamViewer alternatives for me is that people are behind routers with dynamic IPs, and certainly not capable of setting up a dynds server or firewall settings or port forwarding.

So TeamViewer-like ID system + RDP in open source?


Agreed, unfortunately it's difficult to get purchase in a lot of companies because they don't want to be responsible for the security of the solution, and they don't want to be responsible for the maintenance of the solution. It's another form of corporate CYA, at the end of the day they just want to be able to point the blame for any security breaches towards someone else.

Love that you've been creating an alternative to the commercial, close-source, solutions!


Anywhere Windows binary? My mother and her dog cannot build from source.

But I appreciate your work.


Will you start writing one?


Look at the profile of the person you replied to.


Well what a coincidence, the person you're replying to has done precisely that!

RustDesk Installs Chinese Root Certificates (4 months ago, 68 points, 19 comments)

I don't think this is the "gotcha" you think it is.

1. The developer isn't Chinese, he's Singaporean. The "Chinese" found in the cert path was literally gibberish, most likely garbled unicode.

2. They were using a dev cert for a virtual video driver, which they're working on getting proper signing from MSFT and also have a workaround virtual driver in the mean time. https://x.com/rustdesk/status/1781263566504653052


> I don't think this is the "gotcha" you think it is.

Sorry it came across as a "gotcha"; just meant as a potentially-relevant HN post from a few months ago in the spirit of sharing and curiosity.

But digging a bit further, I did find a few HN comments from two years ago that may be worth considering; pizza234's "I personally discourage people from using this software."[1] and proto_lambda's "If this is the kind of thing that's considered acceptable by the developer, I'd rather keep their products far away from my machines."[2]

You are genius.


I can not leave it


Take your risk to use it, it is not signed and verified by Microsoft, and you need to install the test cert to use it. https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk/discussions/6444#discus...


I love https://github.com/upptime/upptime, you run your uptime page on github.


> you run your uptime page on github.

Given the uptime of Github (especially Github Actions) this seems like a particuarly poor choice for an uptime tool.


This is amazing. Definitely will use it. Thanks for sharing


At OpenStatus we also provide a self hosted status page on Cloudflare Pages

I'm using a DIY status page tool. We publish ours as static HTML, no JS and hosted via Netlify


> Clarification: we stopped maintenance mainly because wehave earned more rumor, defamation, racism, curse (seepic, which was said by one the authors of @PixelProps )and clowns than reputation, NOT because of confliction ollegitimacy. Most of us are also Magisk's contributor, ancwe also got curse from the Magisk's community. We arejust too tired of the community, we need rest. More about the pic. the author of @PixelProps at-ed alladmins for a hidden version of LSPosed. And since heabused /admin command (not all admins are LSPosed'sdev thus this command is used for reporting spam, and itwas sleeping time on our time zone), we thus kicked (notban) him for warning.But he keeps retrying and askedpeople to join our group to send dirty words to our admins(like the one in the pic, and there are more).



this is nice but there are features like usb passthrough that is sorely missing. i wish you people can add at least that.


I have used Tauri also, it does not seem having better compatibility, though it is supposed to, but the fact is not.


My old sdk is Sciter, Frankly, it is super buggy though it is light-weight. Currently, we maintain Sciter version and Flutter version both, I can not wait to discard Sciter.


Do we need to change our name which contains "rust"?
