Try this FREE mystery horror puzzle text game where you are doing detective work… of sorts?
I got so hooked and absolutely loved it all the way.
Don’t be fooled by the cover graphic or name.

Ps. It’s playable on browser on any platform, you can save to disk, and did I say it’ FREE?
Thanks for the additional digging.
Is it totally open source? Because I am not suited to verify this - I can only see that at some point it was not open source while claiming to be, and relied on binary blobs. Their server side code? Cannot know what is in there (of course). Running your own server? Cannot really vet the code either, so until it becomes still more popular I cannot trust it yet.
I mean, it is probably fine, I hope it is.
They have scrubbed Zhou from the company info page. They were listed as founder before among the two other people (who may or may not be real - this is another question mark I saw). This scrubbing could, of course be non nefarious. But I think this could have and should have been communicated better.
But instead they seem to shut down discussion: https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk/discussions/1159#discussioncomment-3312105
None of this has to mean anything much but I personally will continue with paid options still for now and keep hoping rd would turn out alright!

None of this means much else than that I will not use it myself, at least yet. I don’t trust it
One example of criticism

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
This is the way to go!
X is not a good look, it is ******* cringe to see governmental entities still using it around the world.
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?
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.
The other one is a lie. I am disappointed in you at this point.
But that was not the point. The point was did someone get executed or shot in the back? No-one is saying either story is ok but only one is true.
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
I understood from here it shouldnt work
Maybe you use another flavor and not the aio?
Edit oh you have 443 though, nvm!
According to this it is not supported?
However, I should learn how to do subdomains and the reverse proxy then… Which is another question.
I have until now a free domain which is somethig like mysubdomain.ddns.net. So I presume I need to get a paid domain for this so I can do subdomains
Isn’t that just the language choice? I always use english for any OS because the translations just suck in my opinion, and make it harder to find any settings or menus. I assume it might be also partly caused by the translation not being ideal?
I find it weird if the admin was pushing for anything besides Linux. Especially apple/windows. But I know nothing about china
