I wish things were as easy as they were with X11. Being able to ssh into a box and “export DISPLAY=192.168.0.7:0.0” then start an app and have it show up locall

- throwaway328 1y agoYou mean a kind of "Spectres of Marx", Jacques Derrida, 1993, hauntology type thing?
- c-hendricks 1y agoSomething tells me modern remote access tools that use video codecs are much more performant than SSH + X forwarding when dealing with resolutions and desktop effects we use today.
- dingnuts 1y agoThis still works if X11 is installed on the remote. I have a remote that runs Wayland locally, and I run Wayland in the client machine as well, but I have X11 installed on the remote and X11 forwarding still works, it just opens the remote application in an XWayland window inside the local Wayland session. No biggie

- chasil 1y agoYour X network traffic would be clear text over the network if you did it this way. Instead, you should "ssh -x" or "ssh -y" to pull the traffic over the ssh encrypted channel. The -y option should be used with caution; read the docs.
- jrvieira 1y agoIt's capital -X and -Y -x disables X11 forwarding.
- chasil 1y agoWhoops.
- jcelerier 1y ago> Your X network traffic would be clear text over the network if you did it this way. that's exactly what I want on my local home network
- chasil 1y agoYou will also need to xhost +(host) which has its own problems.
- pjmlp 1y agoYeah, the days of remote displaying unwanted adult content on other computers on university lab for anyone clueless about xhost command, as teenagers do.
