10 Mb/s network? Was this 20 years ago? Admittedly, because of VNC's age, there are many sub-optimal encoding methods available and many different implementations which might not be fully compatible with each other. So, maybe your

On wayvnc git master and sway 1.8 (or git master), you can script things so that a "virtual" display gets created automatically when someone connects to VNC, and removed when they disconnect. See https://github.com&#x2F

The problem with UDP for video is that, on a lossy network, you either end up sending a lot of key frames or reinventing TCP. There is a trick for achieving low latency video with TCP: set SO_SNDBUF to the lowest possible value and do your

https://github.com/rfbproto/rfbproto/blob/master/rfbproto.rs... I feel that the VNC protocol gets a bad reputation because of bad implementations. There's really nothing in the protocol itself that

It depends on your system of parsing. For example, code generated by a parser generator would be slightly more complex. A regular expression would also be slightly more complex. I have written recursive descent parsers in the past, and if I

Fun fact: A list with leading markers is simpler to parse than a comma separated one. If the marker is "-", EBNF might look like this: leading-marker-list = *("-", element) Comma separated would look like this:

VNC, the protocol, isn't at all inefficient. There are some encoding methods which are inefficient, but I'd say that more "modern" encoding methods such as "tight" aren't all that bad, depending on how the

I am pretty sure that no RDP solution for any Linux desktop system uses graphics primitives. For that to happen, all the toolkits would have to implement some way of passing their scene graph and their primitives to the compositor and the c

This comment seems overly contrarian to me. Perhaps you can tell us what's wrong with his "ridiculous breadboard thing" rather than just stating that it's ridiculous? About damage tracking and hardware encoding: The enco

Textbooks that use j instead of i are an indicator of what? Why is slightly different notation awkward? It's not as if notation is always consistent within the field of mathematics, right?

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing: that having access to source code is really useful for developing and debugging, regardless of whether there is a community around the project. I've been experimenting with ONVIF to create an IP cam

I've wasted some time on trying to get multicast RTP working for various purposes and I don't recommend it. Software on the receiving end often isn't equipped to deal with it, so it falls flat. E.g. ffmpeg based software can

I bought a kettle that turned out to have an obnoxious loud beep, so I just desoldered the piezo speaker that emitted the beep from the circuit board. Problem solved. Perhaps people like me, who just make things work, are a part of the prob

Well, actually, I discovered this when I was playing with implementing a lock free queue in shared memory. I was using singly linked lists; one for the queue and one for the free list. A node would sometimes come back to the queue's he

LL/SC is superior to CAS in that a modification to the memory will be detected even though the value has since been set back to the original value. This avoids the ABA problem.

The article is about the importance of keeping your code clean. Do you disagree that it's important to keep your code clean? I'm sorry, I don't see how your analogy with computer architecture applies. Like with all things, kn

You are correct. The distinction is actually less important than the main point of the article which is that diligently paying off technical debt in a long term software project pays off because it allows you to move faster. The distinction

Well, to be honest, some of my work is actually engineering, but I feel like most of it isn't, and by most of it I mean things such as: adding small features, finding bugs, fixing bugs, dealing with users. To be clear: a craft is not a

Excellent question. I don't know of any video encoder libraries that support damage hints. My own VNC encoder supports it of course, but ZRLE isn't exactly a video codec.

Hey, thanks for the tips! I've been trying to keep to GL ES 2.0, so PBOs are sadly out of reach at the moment. I might reconsider the version limitation. Maybe there are extensions for sync. If so, I guess I could do things on a worker

Yes, both Gnome and Sway have VNC: https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Mutter/RemoteDesktop , https://github.com/any1/wayvnc . Weston has RDP, and there are efforts being made to also add VNC.
