Yeah, I've been keeping an eye on USB4 and WiFi 6E - and avoiding new devices for the time being - for this exact reason. My dream setup involves a litany of dumb displays in different form factors - VR, tablet, desktop, or whatever else - that I can power from one primary device, rather than buying a slew of discrete systems that'll be compromised on spec in order to accommodate larger screens etc. [1] But the I/O for that won't quite be there until sometime next year.
Add to the mix GKIs; AOSP's recent ability to boot from mainline; and the ensuing implication that all of these new adaptive shells being developed rn for the PinePhone could be reused on an Android device [2]; and the thought of 2021 has me salivating.
[1] Mostly, anyway. Some stuff would still be purpose-built, but realistically the main limiting factor for my phone as a daily driver at this point is the form factor.
[2] Assuming bootloader unlock, at least until we see how DSUs play out.
- jszymborski 6y agofwiw, I've been using RDP quite productively on my anemic Thinkpad to remote into my desktop computer which is spec'd for deep learning tasks. The latency is great on my local network, and fine over ZeroTier.
- chaosharmonic 6y agoHow involved of a setup is RDP if most of your systems aren't Windows? I haven't fallen far down the rabbit hole of remote device management, outside of some basic familiarity with SSH. (One particular use case I've been itching to try, but have no idea where to start, is using one system as a secondary display for another. Can an RDP session do this, or is it limited strictly to mirroring?) Incidentally ZeroTier is new to me, and an interesting rabbit hole in itself (along with the BSL, which is also a first-time read) since I'm in a similar spot with VPNs.
- jszymborski 6y agoZeroTier is a breeze to setup. I'd like to use WireGuard, but it wasn't immediately obvious how I'd achieve a "bridged lan" setup. I had used SoftEther for some time but my configuration was brittle. I RDP into my Windows desktop from my laptop running Ubuntu and my iPhone without trouble. I use Remmina on Ubuntu[0], and the Microsoft RDP app [1] on iOS. Before this I was fiddling with TightVNC and a reverse SSH'ing from Window, but ultimately RDP through ZeroTier was (surprisingly) the easiest and most stable way I acheived.
