@krutonium shure, #RustDesk works fine for that too - espechally when you're managing said systems as #IT assets and/or need the ability to login unattended.

• That being said #Dayon! is an easy-to-setup and explain solution to help #TechIlliterates out in a pinch when their devices ain't enrolled in some #MDM...

@krutonium Obviously it's not my systenm and I don't maintain or touch it but Yeah everyone should have their little "#WinShit #CarePackage" on a stick to make it useable and to yeet all the garbage.

• #Protip: For #RemoteSupport I can recommend #Dayon which is basically a fancy "Reverse-VNC Client" that makes it super-easy to just connect and do remote hands-on!

It's also FLOSS…

@StarkRG nodds in agreeement In a #classroom-like #setup we'd more likely see some centralized, self-hosted #managment solution like #Landscape or #RustDesk being used.

• I can see why they did this: It's clearly inspired by tools like #AnyDesk and I do have to applaud them for that.

And if this acts similar to #WebCall and merely acts as a "Rendrevous-Server" then traffic and thus costs should be quite low.

• Still I expect this to later become #enshittified with an ever more expensive #subscription model like with #TeamViewer.

I'd still hope they #OpenSource the #Backend so that there's another competitor to #Dayon and #RustDesk available...

• In the meantime just setting up a sudo admin user with #Pubkey-only auth on #SSH is likely the way to do some admin stuff.

Maybe one day @RaspberryPi will even add #PXE - #NetBoot capabilities to their #RaspberryPi and thus allow for #DisklessWorkstation - Setups, saving a crapton on #MicroSD cards that are prone to get lost and/or stolen...

@mrmasterkeyboard @0xF21D @cesarpose for individiuals who do stuff on the side and who definitely don't make ends meet with #FLOSS I don't assume malice or incompetence unless proven otherwise.

• If this were like #TeamViewer or #AnyDesk who charge triple digits per seat and year I'd not accept that tho!

Granted #Dayon is AFAICT the only competitive offering if #MeshCentral, #RustDesk & #Remotely are too overkill and that works on the convenient "Reverse-Server" model where one needs to only configure the network on the Assistant end, not on the end of the user seeking help.

• Which is espechally desired for systems that one hasn't onboarded or ain't intended to get onboarded as a matter of principle (i.e. individual clients' desktops)...

@mrmasterkeyboard @0xF21D @cesarpose precisely that...

• I really hope #Dayon devs do actually fix their #Wayland issue instead of pointing people to a GIF to tell them to switch to #Xorg instead, because it does work on Wayland anyway!

@tron yes, and in essence all it needs is to be a more convenient version if @tails_live / @tails / #Tails with like @nextcloud / #Nextcloud integration for seamless sync (with like an encrypted /home for caching and convenience...

• Cuz lets be honest: All what #TechIlliterate #Normies need can be done with #Firefox, @thunderbird / #Thunderbird, Nextcloud, @libreoffice / #LibreOffice, #Codium and @videolan / #VLC for the most part.

Maybe add #Dayon as convenient #RemoteDesktop solution and a basic #AutoUpdater (& Terminal) to it.

• Just that nice #Launcher / full-screen menu and support fir #LowRes / #LowDPI is needed!

@ml I've heard of #RustDesk, but lets just say the whole "it's not #SaaS!" when it clearly is a #subscription #licensing scheme is kinda off-putting to me...

• I mean, it is "#OpenSource" as in #SUSE, #OracleLinux ( & #RedHad used to be)...

That doesn't mean they are bad - far from it.

• Tho being better than #TeamViewer or #AnyDesk isn't that hard...

I just use #Dayon because it's very easy to walkthrough #TechIlliterates when it comes to getting #RemoteSupport up and running with them.

@nsysteme @expertenkommision_cyberunfall @gborn ich kann aus Erfahrung #Dayon empfehlen.

• Ist die einzig "noob-freundliche" & #OpenSource - lizensierte #RemoteSupport - Lösung die ich kenne, weil's as "Reverse-Server" arbeitet und nur jener Support-Rechner eingerichtet sein muss...
