  • Do you have some examples? Most things I (and others) do are in the category “showing a desktop”, multiple desktops with different resolution / scaling / refresh rate, maybe opening a virtual monitor using krfb.

    Wayland has been a complete game changer for me regarding performance and reliability (as soon as it hit a certain stability lol).




  • There is obviously a lot to unpack here, most of it is just plain gibberish. The best option is, as always, to ask him directly.

    Pro: Fresh white bread can be very delicious. It is soft and fluffy, and depending on the freshness even still warm, which are all really nice things to be associated with imho. It is also versatile, as it can be crafted to e.g. a list of delicious sandwiches. White bread can be interpreted as a clean slate, a starting point for a lot of great things to happen. The focus on the whiteness of the bread may be in remembrance to a time when paleness was a female beauty standard.

    Contra: White bread is considered as bland, tasteless and boring by some, depending where in the world you live. White bread is the most consumed type of bread in the western world, possibly implying you are a little to mainstream, your personality is too adapted and not sophisticated enough for him. I have heard awful things about american white bread (e.g. has a lot of sugar in it), but a traditional german white bread on the other hand can be very delicious. It is not the healthiest choice of breads, but not a lot of wheat products are. If I’m not mistaken, it could also be a slur for people with a light skin tone.





  • mstsc.exe was exactly the one I used. I vaguely remember that I had used that successfully some years ago (in a much bigger environment with proper certs) and it worked.

    Regarding NLA: I believe that I would have to disable that on purpose no? It was on a very vanilla Windows 11 install. I just looked and regarding any other settings than the ones listed in mstsc.exe, I get told that Windows 11 Home edition doesn’t support RDP lol.


  • I recently used the old Windows RDP client they refer to. I tried to connect to a Windows VM and it didn’t work. Had to pull out some old log utility tool and filter a while to recognize the server didn’t use a valid TLS certificate (lives inside a VPN) and the handshake failed. Tried disabling cert validation (although I’m not sure if that one obfuscated option did exactly that), still no luck.

    I then tried KRDP in KDE. It asked me if I’m sure I wanted to connect since the cert is self signed. It even showed me the cert info and I know the issuer in person. I accepted and got in. Easy as that.


  • This is a great summary. Also, see the GrapheneOS teams list of hardware prequisites. They have said themselves before that this is not a very high bar, but that there are just no other manufacturers focusing on security. Apple claim they do, and get recommended as second best option in the forums sometimes, but given the walled garden approach, it must be next to impossible to develop against, even if they unexpectedly completely open up their ecosystem.

    They would probably also have to take a lot of criticism for their implementation approaches and their brand integrity would suffer immensely. Maybe there would even be some new undisclosed vulnerabilities to fix, like the goto fail bug breaking SSL encryption ten years ago.

    Compare it to the new open source Nvidia drivers for Linux, they have taken quite a while to develop since Nvidia announced the release, and I don’t know if they have yet reached the performance levels of the proprietary ones. Doing this for a whole Phone, given they even fulfil the requirements hardwarewise, will probably take a decade. And in this decade, ten new iPhones will be released…
