Guacamole is a great project for using VNC/RDP protocols. We have developed our own protocol at Paperspace which we are constantly optimizing for sub-optimal conditions which can include low bandwidth and low-quality (i.e. lots of dropped packets). That said, we are primarily building for a world where access to high quality, fast internet is a reality.
As far as "untethered agility" goes, it was intended to speak to being free to access your computer from any device! Sorry for the confusion :)
- metasean 10y agoIt's awesome that you, "are constantly optimizing for sub-optimal conditions which can include low bandwidth and low-quality". Out of curiosity, is there a way to specify a maximum bandwidth? (e.g. my phone plan has a monthly cap, that can easily be exceeded and result in a nasty bill; can I specify that Paperspace not exceed a certain data transfer rate when I'm on that network?) The irony of the "phone on a train limit" is that I have a phenomenal fiber line into my house. So I know how awesome, "high quality, fast internet" can be! I was not confused about intent behind "untethered agility". My point was, I can use my laptop completely and genuinely untethered where ever I want for as long as my battery lasts. In other words, by default the only necessary tether is for power; and even then, I can go for almost an entire workday before I need that tether. Paperweight, as well as the other VDI options, actually require a near constant network tether for operation. edit: typo fix
