💡 Je partage avec vous le schéma de l'infra multimédia de mon salon, sur base de #LogicielsLibres. 👋 Je le dédie à Isabella Vanni de l'@aprilorg qui m'avait suggéré de partager ces infos autour de moi. C'est chose faite ! 🚀 Document construit avec ❤️ avec @libreoffice Draw.

Seriously, if I was #LinusSebastian of #LinusTechTips I'd literally choose to #donate the cost of a #TeamViewer #subscription to #FLOSS #RemoteDesktop projects like #Dayon instead and sue TeamViewer into upholding their contract or a full refund with interest as if it was a loan because clearly they chose violate that contract on their own terms and initiative!

And yes, Dayon! is awesome and I can fully recommend this as an alternative to TeamViewer, #AnyDesk, etc.

retgal.github.io/Dayon/

  • For any system that needs Remote Access as unattended I'd recommend to setup a #VPN or at least a Reverse-#SSH connection anyway so one can launch something like Dayon! by just sending a single command and have #RemoteDesktop access on-demand.

So yeah, TeamViewer literally shot themselves in the foot here by deciding to shaft paying customers who were able and willing to pay the absurd prices you asked for for a one-time license.

  • Also whilst TeamViewer does OFC maintain some infrastructure, most what they do is basically run a "rendrevous"-Server to allow two endpoints behind NATs to connect to each other and exchange details to make UPnP-style hole-punching work.

That's traffic in the single-digit megabytes per year and client, as there's not much between as clients pinging their server and basically boing some simple handshakes.

  • And as Linus said it's not his problem if they gotta have to keep systems up and running in perpetuity. They offered that deal and now they have to suffer through it! By paying the obligations are on to TeamViewer to make it work and continue to make it work!

Also if I'm on a #LAN why would I want to use TeamViewer and not any #VNC (or god forbid #RDP) server? THE WHOLE POINT OF USING TeamViewer, AnyDesk, etc. IS TO NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT NATs, FIREWALLS AND IP-ADDRESSES AND JUST GET CONNECTED FFS!!!

  • Personally I use #Remmina and Dayon, but that's because Remmina is comfortable even for SSH and can do that as well as RDP & VNC and Dayon is just the simple option I can walktrough people that need #TechSupport #remote|ly for a quick hands-on...

Definitely my recommendation because it also allows for any use-cases and doesn't nag one to "buy a license!"

  • So please someone please let #Linus know about Dayon so he can do a "TeamViewer alternatives" video...

Weil immer wieder "günstige" Ionity-App-Preise mit bar bezahlbaren #adhoc Benzinpreisen verglichen werden, noch einmal klar: auch bei der #Ionity-App wird zusätzlich mit den eigenen #Daten / #Überwachung bezahlt.
Das ist etwa so, wie wenn die Sonderpreise aus der Lidl-Plus-App mit den regulären Preisen lokaler Läden verglichen werden.

Hier die Analyse von Exodus privacy: reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/

...und ja, es gibt auch "günstige" Angebote für die keine Firmen-App installiert werden muss. (Nutzungsbeispiele mit #FOSS / #FLOSS App: freiburg.social/@stevE/1146947 )

If companies with commercial uses supported open source projects by funding or contributing, things could have been better. Always the same stories of morons using softwares without helping by asking always for efficiency and reactivity.

If you're gonna watch a video today, let it be this one!

It is horrible to see how artists are hostages of corporations in order to be able to use their tools to create. Submitting themselves to predatory practices like proprietary formats, software as a service licensing models, vendor lock-in 🤮

We have the power to change that! Support #floss projects like #Blender #Kdenlive #Krita #GIMP #Inkscape #Darktable #Ardour #Godot #Scribus #Natron #Friction #endof10 #linux

“The problem with having an operational stack is that not everything can be a product, and if we only want to fund products we are missing the infrastructure part. Not every #OpenSource project can have a viable business model.”
@senficon: “This is right, and exactly what the @sovtechfund is addressing. In the end, maybe not every #FLOSS product can have a business model and not everyone wants to become an entrepreneur, that doesn't mean they don't provide tremendous value to society and economy

“We should start by recognising that #OpenSource is a public good and has the same form of problems as other public goods: you need to synchronise many actors.” “Most #FLOSS projects don't have a shortage of information about what should be improved, but lack resources to implement the improvements.” — @senficon
Thanks for stating the second part: I am personally a bit tired with ideas being thrown at me of crowdsourcing a roadmap or similar. It’s a lie. Do it or pay, don’t suggest.

“The problem is that we don't have the institutions for industrial sovereignty, so we rely instead on project governance. So we need to think about things like levying a tax”, or in general ways to capture some of the €€ that is made at the end of the chain from #FLOSS and #DigitalCommons. — Lukasz Klejnowski
Yep, I'm tired to have to think of business models that cost a lot to establish to capture some of the value provided to society. DPI funding should be like physical infra: tax!

(2) So ist für uns z.B. eigentlich auch eine Protokollfunktion wie sie wohl die #MySkodaApp bietet hilfreich, aber dann doch (noch?) nicht wichtig genug, diese Analyse zu ignorieren:
reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/

Nach interessanten Abschnitten und Ladevorgängen kann ich auch die Daten vom Display (und aus den Lade-Abrechnungen) händisch erfassen. Leider müssen dazu alle Türen geschlossen sein, aber mit der App #LabLog geht es dann immerhin recht flott.
Praktisch ist dabei die direkte Anbindung via #mqtt die so die Daten direkt im #SmartHomeServer wie z.B. #HomeAssistant verfügbar macht...

...bzw. in unserem Fall (alles auf einem #RaspberryPi mit #bash Skripten selbst implementiert) ressourcenschonend über einen cloud broker mit einem simplen mosquitto_sub ... >> eautolog.jsonl.

(1) #Datenschutz scheint beim #EAuto noch weniger zu interessieren als beim Smartphone. So kannte z.B. keine Person mit Hyundai EAuto - die wir irgendwie erreichen konnten - (egal ob gekauft oder geleast) deren Datenschutzbestimmungen. Selbst das Hyundai Autohaus war diesbezüglich überfordert (bei diesem wurde vor uns noch nie danach gefragt). Auch in der Fediverse #EAutoBubble werden oft ohne den kleinsten Hinweis Ladetarife empfohlen die nur mit zweifelhaften Apps zu buchen sind. Alternativen zu den Autofirmen-Apps sind noch schwerer zu finden...

Auch hier scheinen wir die Ausnahme zu sein und um dazugehörige Tröts leichter wieder zu finden, führen wir nun den #Hashtag #EAutoDaten ein.

Die bisherigen Tröts sind nun bereits nach-verschlagwortet.

Dort finden sich nun bereits #Datenschutzprobleme, praktische #Ladetarife die ohne spezielle App gebucht werden können und hilfreiche freie #FLOSS Software wie #EVMap mit eigenen Filtern.
