What's your thoughts on Rustdesk? (lemmy.zip)

So I've been using Rustdesk with a self hosted server for business and personal use now for some time. However, it is definitely the sketchiest foss software I've used. It seems to be based in China but the developers keep lying and saying its in Singapore.

Here is a list if everything I've found:

It seems that now the clients and OSS server are completely foss which is good. They also no longer have public servers in China according to them. In the client itself it also now has better defaults so you are less at risk of getting attacked.

It still is sketch but it now is slightly less sketch I guess? Either way its not ideal.

I never ran it since i got scared by the shit they done with 'wayland support' which smells like really bad code practices. Patch

But i still somewhat want to use it since it seems much less hassle then teamviewer and anydesk these days.

I don't believe it does that anymore and the flatpak never did that. On Reddit they did admit to it being a terrible design.

It does not matter to me if it is still there or not. The point that this was in a release makes me question their code and release practices.

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 years ago

I very much agree. I think it would be best to at least get some third party to verify releases. Maybe if it gets on Flathub that will happen.

They apologized and admitted that it was a dumb thing to do.
