What do you need screen sharing for? This comes up so, so rarely for me.

it's convenient, also it'd be nice if it had the feature capability.

Mumble is great, but if there was something like mumble, that implemented video sharing, that would be miles better, though a lot of people would probably still use mumble, as it's fine.

From what i've dug into, basically every video sharing capable setup is based on web technology, and i simply refuse to go near web technology unless i WANT to use a web browser. It's just, worse, in so many ways.

Well Discord, Slack, & others are web tech too so it’s not like avoiding it is easy. If I have to use these services, I would prefer it be in the browser’s sandbox.

Even still, almost all debug, troubleshoot, pairing session I have done in the last 4 years have been done over Upterm or Tmate, which is much, much lighter on bandwidth & not crushed by video compression.

yeah, and discord slack and basically everything based on electron is a fresh hell.

I love having three separate instances of chrome running the background while just using my computer, such that they all consume an entire gigabyte of ram for no particular reason.

TBF i wouldn't do much if any troubleshooting over RDP or anything similar, i use SSH for all that stuff lol. I'm just confused that nobody has put together a "relatively" functional version of this yet, it seems like it would be prime realestate.

That is why upterm & tmate exist… ephemeral shared SSH sessions. Biggest missing feature would be some sort of scoping since someone could raw dog your system—catting SSH keys, deleting config, force pushing a repo if unlocked keys are in memory.

if i wanted to share my terminal it's pretty trivial to do that. Unfortunately i use my computer outside of the terminal environment semi regularly, for most applications really.

The folks I collaborate have a policy now that if it doesn’t have a TUI or CLI version, it doesn’t exist 😂

based, i like those people. Unfortunately i can't exactly share a minecraft window over terminal, so...

Oh you could if so inclined run a Notcurses renderer for Minetest. https://l-m.dev/cs/hijacking-opengl-with-notcurses/

They already have a render for NEStopia + RetroArch lol

[–] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

that would be rather funny, although i play technical minecraft primarily, so minetest isn't exactly a substitute here lol.

[–] toastal@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The VoxeLibre mod is a substitute

kind of, like i said i play technical minecraft so the kind of stuff i'm accustomed to are the fact that repeaters schedule power events on a priority system changing based on what it's powering or not.

I will probably end up playing mineclone2/voxelibre at some point though, it's just not really a substitute here unfortunately.
