Crossdesk is a cross-platform remote desktop software used for streaming and controlling remote computers. It consists of a hardware-accelerated video streamer and a web-based client that allows users to operate remote devices through a browser without installing platform-specific software. The system utilizes a self-hosted connection relay deployed via containers to manage remote sessions and forward traffic when direct peer-to-peer connections fail. To maintain performance, it employs hardware-accelerated video encoding and streaming to reduce latency and CPU load. The software provides cr
DietPi is an ultra-lightweight Debian distribution and software platform purpose-built for single-board computers. It provides a minimal operating system that strips away unnecessary services to reduce CPU and RAM usage, and includes a curated software catalogue of pre-optimised applications that can be installed with a single command. The system reads a plain-text configuration file before first boot to perform unattended OS and software installation, and offers a web interface for remote system administration. What distinguishes DietPi is its comprehensive, integrated approach to turning a
This is a cross-platform media processing library that reads, writes, encodes, and decodes media in both browser and server environments. It supports common container formats including ISOBMFF, Matroska, Ogg, MPEG-TS, and HLS, and handles codec operations through a combination of WebCodecs API and WebAssembly-based encoders. Media is processed in streaming pipelines that maintain constant memory usage and automatically apply backpressure from output speed to all upstream components. The library distinguishes itself through a plugin-based codec registration system that allows extending support
FreeRDP is a full software implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol, providing both client and server capabilities for remote session management. It functions as an RDP client library and a standalone remote desktop client, enabling remote connectivity and interoperability across different operating systems. The project includes a dedicated network device redirector and an RDP gateway client to handle authentication and proxy routing. It allows developers to integrate remote desktop functionality into third-party software applications via its client library. The software covers a wide r
