GitHub - sol1/rustguac: Lightweight Rust replacement for Apache Guacamole — browser-based SSH, RDP, and web sessions via guacd Lightweight Rust replacement for Apache Guacamole — browser-based SSH, RDP, and web sessions via guacd - sol1/rustguac

I always wanted to improve Gaucamole (the apache not avocado kind). I don't know if I have - I managed to vibe code something substantial with Claude code though. It was a fun experience, so now I guess I maintain a new open source project: github.com/sol1/rustguac

As a lot of you know I've been doing a lot of work with Knocknoc... we published a demo of their tech to our YouTube channel yesterday. It's a simple overview that also shows off the new (very simple) identity aware reverse proxy feature... it's very cool

I love this. I have been using 'meatware' in my architecture diagrams for when we want a puny human to do a thing.

Despite all the bleating, the VP visits the old pope who dies, then a new US pope is installed in a famously secret process. Smells like regime change.

Thanks so much! I was trying out 'edge orchestration' at conference recently. My followup question was 'do you have an edge?'. I did get a few blank looks though, but they could have been from the risk type of cyber people.

As a founder of a security product wrestling with this exact problem, I will tell you it ain't easy. Apple has shown that you get results selling the sizzle and not the steak. Technical people want the steak. We are trying both to see what sticks I guess.

I published a Soap Box episode today featuring my good friend Adam Pointon, CEO of Knocknoc.

You’ve all heard me talking a lot about this company, so here’s a decent breakdown of what it is they actually do

Well it is simple maths, if you remove negatives its bound to be a net positive. 😃

Not to mention changes to the login screens not being communicated. Users get phished much easier if the app looks different regularly.
