I know about rustdesk, and some other selfhosted solutions, but just wonder, what do you use if not screen sharing in discord.

Do you self-host Jitsi? The public instance has absolutely unusable FPS for streaming gameplay which is pretty much the only thing I still use discord for because it’s the only thing that seems to do it well. I read somewhere you can turn up the FPS on a self-hosted Jitsi though.

My company does host an instance, but I’ve never used it for game streaming. No idea what the fps is

you should be able to turn it up always, to some extent. it’s in the settings on web

Huh, I thought I looked through them all when I tried it last time. I’ll check again.
2 yearsI use rustdesk for remote desktop. Screen sharing is usually on zoom as it’s what my workplace uses.

You should not use Rustdesk as I wouldn’t trust it with a 10 foot pole.
You can share your screen with most video conferencing software. For remote access I would go with RDP or moonlight.
We could really use an alternative but that takes time and knowledge to create.

What is your issue with Rustdesk? I would understand if you mention Teamviewer, which runs through 3rd party servers, but Rustdesk? Is the client phoning home despite self-hosting or what do you mean? I am seriously interested.
On the other hand, I would not use RDP over the Internet without a VPN or at least an RDP Gateway in between both parties.

There has been a few controversies so here is the TLDR:
-
Rustdesk public relays have been caught using Chinese servers
-
The Rustdesk app is highly privileged for little reason. They abused this privilege to switch Wayland users to X silently
-
very little is known about the Rustdesk “team” if there even is one. There is a single github user called “rustdesk” and the personalities on the Rustdesk website appear to be fake.
-
Rustdesk says they are from Singapore but there are multiple leads that point to them being Chinese
-
They straight up delete any issue or discussion that questions the supposed Rustdesk “team”
That’s just the summary that I know. You can find more information by looking up Rustdesk controversy or is Rustdesk a scam.

Thank you very much! Little did I know! I will look for alternatives now… MeshCentral is the next on my list I guess.

I forgot Meshcentral existed honestly. That’s probably a much better option that RDP

No rustdesk but recommend RDP for remoting?
I’m confused on both recommendations.
- Possibly linux@lemmy.zipEnglish2 years
Avoid Rustdesk like the plague for security reasons.
I recommend RDP as a protocol for remote access. It takes a little setup but it can be used. It isn’t fit for all use cases of course so don’t take it to literally.
- capital@lemmy.worldEnglish2 years
Okay 2 things.
- I haven’t heard about any security issues with Rustdesk. Can you link to what you’re referring to?
- It’s strange to see someone concerned about security recommend RDP for remote access when it’s a terrible idea to expose it to the internet. But maybe you mean to expose a VPN and then connect to RDP via that?
Edit: I see you have some info on the Rustdesk point elsewhere in the thread. I’ll read up on that part so don’t feel like you have to repeat yourself here.
- Possibly linux@lemmy.zipEnglish2 years
You don’t want to expose RDP to the internet. However, it works for a local lan or over Tailscale.
