• Cool but Obscure X11 Apps

  One of my favorite bits of software is Xpra [0], "screen for X". You'd run it and it would start another X server (start apps in it with `DISPLAY=:1 xterm` or whatever), and you would "attach" it to your running X server with `xpra attach`. You can attach to e.g. `ssh://hostname/:1`, so I ran a firefox instance on a homelab server and attached to it from my laptop and my desktop to not have to bother keeping... - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• Alternatives To X2go?

  I’ve used Xpra in the past to connect to a remote system for GUI stuff, but I almost exclusively use ssh because most of the time I don’t need to run a remote windowing system. Source: about 1 year ago

• I want to (securely) remotely access my Pop!_OS desktop from my Pop!_OS laptop - what’s the best way to do this in 2023?

  To add to this if you need to access graphical applications of an entire desktop environment you can use Xpra or MOONLIGHT (I suggest the second one if you want to game on the remote desktop or need very low latency in general), you can use both of these through a ssh tunnel (you need to enable this and X forwarding in the config) so if you setup and allow access to ssh correctly you can also use these without too...

• It’s 2022, what good alternatives for Remote Desktop exists for Linux that can give decent frame rates and gpu acceleration?

• Linux NILFS file system: automatic continuous snapshots

  You might be able to do the screen recording today using Wayland ports, or nested display servers a la Xpra. https://xpra.org. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Microsoft CTO: "Thoughts on OpenAI" (2019)

  > I don't know a single techie person who uses Windows (other than for gaming) I'd say that Windows actually has some nice software, like MobaXTerm: https://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/ which in my eyes is better than Remmina or pretty much anything I've found on nix, short of just running the same thing on Wine. WinSCP is also pretty cool, albeit nothing particularly special: https://winscp.net/eng/index.php PowerToys... - Source: Hacker News / 26 days ago

• Hard disk LEDs and noisy machines

  For working with remote machines that I need to ssh into I've found mobaXTerm[1] to be a very useful terminal emulator. It has an optional remote monitoring feature that shows the usual stats as a small bar under the active terminal window. It's a windows only application though.

• Day 1 - Get to know your server

  There are various SSH clients available for Windows (PuTTY, Solar-PuTTY, MobaXterm, Termius, etc) but if you use Windows versions older than 10, the installation of PuTTY is suggested. Source: 6 months ago

• What old, outdated apps you still use on Windows and find useful.

  Everything - find files by name fast (using the ntfs journal, so strange this is not in windows itself) SpaceMonger old free version - show visually what takes the most space on the HD MobaXterm not outdated - the best SSH terminal. Source: 9 months ago

• Alternative to WinSCP & Posh-SSH that isn't OSS

  I don't see anyone recommending mobaxterm. You should check it out. Https://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/. Source: 11 months ago
