  • It doesn't need to be, I just won't go near it if they communicate like this and do stuff like change their users' system settings without prompting. You can do a search for rustdesk controversy and have a look yourself. Just looking at how they hide the company's chinese origins and their communication style when they are asked for clarification... That's enough for me. Everyone should be paranoid when installing apps, and this is for remote control, no less.

    Edit 2: see also their claims of open source while people could not compile a working version without a pre compiled binary blob. Maybe they fixed that? Or not?

    Edit: I want to add, I want an open source software like that, I hope they would turn up good. Just going to watch from over here.

  • It seems they were trying to hide the app being Chinese, added a trusted certificate on your machine without prompting, complaints about not really being open source, etc. It doesn't look very good to me at this point.

    Search around a bit and you will find these issues being raised by people, at the same time the answers fron the team seem very dismissive and amount to "please no politics here".

    Check the wikipedia page edits as well, weird stuff. I don't like weird stuff when choosing a remote control software.

    Rather paying Anydesk than using this. At this point at least.

    Edit: to add, rustdesk was using and sending data to a chinese server for some reason. At least they got an EU one instead, at least according to wikipedia, but that could just resend whatever data forward. This is all just what I see on the net though. But, enough for me to choose something else.

  • I would not touch it, seems very sketchy, and with this sort of program you need total trust

  • Truecrypt is followed by VeraCrypt which is now the standard. Don't use TrueCrypt

  • Don't forget the diarrhea drinking. How would he otherwise stay throat goat? (Grok said this)

  • Pi makes sense, just don't use an SD for anything you want to run more than a day.

  • I recommend just using an USB 3.x external SSD.

    The SD card dying all the time is not what you want and is easily avoided with a real drive

  • Sorry, but your argument doesn't work very well. It is classic whataboutism. Why would that make me want to contaminate it more with some stickers?

  • I tried to get it, instead it got me into some loop where it wanted to install it immediately, and canceling (at least seemed) to cancel getting it as well? I was so annoyed I just closed the whole thing. Keeping the account in case they give some more AC games for free. Not going to pay for anything in there

  • It has a plastic film on it, and it is not what you want to try to compost unless you want contaminate your soil with microplastics. But most people just don't know this or care

  • Use duplicati, or if you want command line, use borg.

  • I wish they made an android port. I love playing text adventures on travels and such.

    Can recommend Fabularium as the app / engine (the version on f-droid is newer and better) and then play these with it:

    Anchorhead

    Coloratura

    King of shreds and patches

    All of them are free to download from ifdb! Start with this https://ifdb.org/viewgame?id=op0uw1gn1tjqmjt7

    Also, everyone (!!!) should try this super awesome horror text puzzle game on browser: https://william-rous.itch.io/type-help

    All great horror games, all free, to play on your phone wherever!

  • Thank you for all the explanations! So I just need a second domain and apache will redirect 443 from that domain to 7777. The docker part I understood but having two apps on 443 on different domains but one machine is what was new to me.

  • Thanks, this is good to know!

  • Thanks, I did not know about this one!

    But, I am turning towards nextcloud, as it would allow me to sync some shared folders of images and documents between computers easily(?).

    The android app would be great as well, to sync some files easier, I understand nextcloud does that.

    But this is a great alternative, I will surely check it out before making my final decision.

    Now still have to do some physical upgrades, a fan and an ssd need replacing.

    Thanks to everyone for their input!

  • Thank you and everyone else! Now I need to get a domain that allows subdomains
