As the author of wayvnc, I would say that I'm pretty well aware of what VNC can and cannot do. The RFB protocol (VNC) has improved over time like other protocols. 1. Wrong. There are many extensions that improve upon authentication and

I did a course on antennae and wave propagation as part of my university studies. The professor told us that with just a bit of extra studying we'd be able to qualify for the license, given that we already knew the engineering and phys

That reminds me. I worked for a company where we punched in using an iButton (it's a pretty neat 1-wire thing that fits on a key chain). The punch clock system was logged and then at the end of the month, they printed out a single A4 s

I worked for a company that went through 2 cycles like this and I can report that it had zero effect on us engineers. My impression was that people were constantly being promoted into management and at some point we just had too many manage

Yes, in fact, the protocol states that the client can queue up multiple requests. The purpose of this is to fill up the gap created by the RTT. It is actually quite elegant in its simplicity. An extension was introduced for continuous updat

I have some experience with pushing video frames over TCP. It appears that the writer has jumped to conclusions at every turn and it's usually the wrong one. The reason that the simple "poll for jpeg" method works is that pol

The blog post that I linked to answers your question. I was able to get at the diagnostics menu (also explained in the blog), but I had to interrogate a service tech in order to learn how to trigger it (also mentioned in the blog). The manu

This reminds me of my own troubles with my AEG washing machine. Probably, the most important lesson (for someone who wants to fix their washing machine ASAP) that I learned from that was that there are non-userserviceable error codes and yo

I've used valgrind proactively as long as I've been programming in C and C++. The errors that are caught by valgrind (and asan) will very often not cause immediate crashes or any kind of obvious bugs. Instead, they cause intermitt

Drawing into the spectrogram is a fun trick. I would really like to know how much data you can store in that bird using some digital modulation method such as FSK (frequency shift keying). There could even be multiple carriers in the signal

It would need to be tested and properly integrated with x11vnc. As the goal is to move away from X11, it doesn't seem likely that they would invest time into that. Besides, if you have x11, you can still use RealVNC.
