voxl was built for things like software factories that use headless VMs and sandboxes (CI, computer-use agents), usually on Xvfb with no GPU. It streams them to a plain browser tab over one WebSocket and has APIs for agents.

How is it different from RustDesk? RustDesk is an open-source alternative to TeamViewer and AnyDesk, for reaching your own computers or helping someone with theirs: you install its app on both ends, desktop or phone, and the two find each other through an ID server, then connect directly or through a relay. For that it’s the better fit, and it also shares Wayland desktops (experimentally) and Android phones, which voxl doesn’t. voxl is for desktops on servers, VMs and sandboxes: it’s one process that serves its own page, so there’s nothing to install on the viewing side and no ID or relay server to run. The stream goes wherever a URL does, can be embedded in another page and comes with the APIs agents use. RustDesk has a web client too, but it still goes through the ID and relay servers, and the self-hosted one comes with RustDesk Server Pro.

So instead of asking it to build a game like x, we ask it to write design documents of x, and then we ask it to implement those?

It wasn’t a scarce resource before. Why is it more scarce now if we’re just offloading into the cloud which makes it, supposedly, significantly more efficient? People had RAM before. Now they can’t get any [for similar price].

It wasn’t even scarce before them.

I assume NIM only works with nvidia cards not AMD?

Something seems wrong with the timezone display 😅

Great article, great collection

and Germany’s public fund for open source paid €195,000 for work on it

Great to see public money in this list

Thank you for linking the not animated version. I found them quite irritating and switched back to this version.

I maintain FOSS with 1 user (me).

Where can I find your blog? ;)

I hope my drive-by PRs don’t come off in the same way.

For example, as the simplest no-description, no-comment example, when I see typos or wording errors in text on a random blog I check if there’s a direct way to contribute - to GitHub edit and submit a PR, and when there is, I do that.

There’s nothing for me to say or describe, really, and it’s not like I interacted with their project or community before or even plan to after. (Sometimes I do look into the issue tracker etc depending on the project or website. But that’s beside the raised concern.)

I see it more of a collective and open collaboration. But that’s not necessarily visible on the receiving end.

Presumably, this only covers the operation of an instance, not the project and development of the project itself?
