@namedbird @drscriptt personally, I think #CPE / #Router manufacturers should've standardized upon *.router.local (i.e. fritzbox.router.local) since .local has been reserved for such purposeS... per #IETF via #IANA & #ICANN...

  • Espechally since the average "#normie #consoomer" isn't gonna own their own domain or even setup an internal #DNS resolver to manage their #LAN at home under *.local.domain.example to make it work.

In fact most corporate users don't even enroll #FQDN|s on their network (#Universities do based off my observation!)…

Seriously, if I was #LinusSebastian of #LinusTechTips I'd literally choose to #donate the cost of a #TeamViewer #subscription to #FLOSS #RemoteDesktop projects like #Dayon instead and sue TeamViewer into upholding their contract or a full refund with interest as if it was a loan because clearly they chose violate that contract on their own terms and initiative!

And yes, Dayon! is awesome and I can fully recommend this as an alternative to TeamViewer, #AnyDesk, etc.

  • For any system that needs Remote Access as unattended I'd recommend to setup a #VPN or at least a Reverse-#SSH connection anyway so one can launch something like Dayon! by just sending a single command and have #RemoteDesktop access on-demand.

So yeah, TeamViewer literally shot themselves in the foot here by deciding to shaft paying customers who were able and willing to pay the absurd prices you asked for for a one-time license.

  • Also whilst TeamViewer does OFC maintain some infrastructure, most what they do is basically run a "rendrevous"-Server to allow two endpoints behind NATs to connect to each other and exchange details to make UPnP-style hole-punching work.

That's traffic in the single-digit megabytes per year and client, as there's not much between as clients pinging their server and basically boing some simple handshakes.

  • And as Linus said it's not his problem if they gotta have to keep systems up and running in perpetuity. They offered that deal and now they have to suffer through it! By paying the obligations are on to TeamViewer to make it work and continue to make it work!

Also if I'm on a #LAN why would I want to use TeamViewer and not any #VNC (or god forbid #RDP) server? THE WHOLE POINT OF USING TeamViewer, AnyDesk, etc. IS TO NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT NATs, FIREWALLS AND IP-ADDRESSES AND JUST GET CONNECTED FFS!!!

  • Personally I use #Remmina and Dayon, but that's because Remmina is comfortable even for SSH and can do that as well as RDP & VNC and Dayon is just the simple option I can walktrough people that need #TechSupport #remote|ly for a quick hands-on...

Definitely my recommendation because it also allows for any use-cases and doesn't nag one to "buy a license!"

  • So please someone please let #Linus know about Dayon so he can do a "TeamViewer alternatives" video...

This is a screen capture of KDE Connect on one of my Androids.

As you can clearly see my LAN has quite an amount of devices. All of these devices are being used by me.
They have specific purposes which makes my Android experience along with my Computing experience versatile and efficient.

I did not know how important KDE connect was for me. When I learned about it, I knew that it doesn't just enrich what I can do

KDE Connect is not a gimmick where I can control a Media Player, without any network connectivity by itself, from any of my KDE Connect devices. Many different functions can be handled smoothly without any problems, with the highest Speed that my wLAN can deliver from the point of my view of the LAN routers I have in my network.

Right now I'm using a wLAN router that is portable. This enables me to have the most efficient data transfer Speed between the devices I have on me without any snooping from any Big Company.

@ChrisPirillo I remember when some #TechYoutuber showcased one.

Syns det er så tullete at banker har lov til å ikke gjøre det mulig for folk å nedbetale lån som borettslag tar opp på deres vegne. Hvorfor må man ha en egen avtale (IN) for å kunne betale ned et lån som man er tvunget til å betale renter på? Jeg er ingen økonom, men dette gir ikke mening for meg.

@deivudesu That service would be great. I don’t think we will see it on search engine sites but you can block search engine sites from showing those results using other apps.

On my home #LAN network, I blacklist sites in my #PiHole #DNS server that I never want to encounter. Works great and protects me on every device that makes DNS queries (even smart switches). On my #iOS devices, I also use the apps #Privacy Protector and #Silentium which do the same thing when I’m only on cell service. Google used to offer the option to blacklist, but that’s ancient history.
