Menu css looks a bit dodgy with the notification at the top:
Does my screen have to be on?
Okay. The feature I'm waiting for is the self-hosted web client.
so this means I can be on a vacation, turn on my ubuntu desktop remotely, login and control it ? I have a strong need for this as my desktop is also a server
You can already do this with VNC or Xpra (the latter is a screen/tmux for graphical applications).
RustDesk should fix their password requirements: https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk/discussions/2888
It's open-source, so just build it yourself with the tiny change. Something this trivial could be done with a 30 second prompt at this point, so there's not even an excuse of "too much effort".
I will note that the XKCD password scheme being proposed there is, in fact, completely insecure. A modern consumer GPU can crack "four random English words" in a day. You can argue that it's the user's choice to be allowed to use insecure passwords, but arguing that that scheme is actually secure is just wrong.
