An LLM is a machine for giving confident plausible answers to whatever question is thrown at it.

Basically a J2EE app that talks HTML5 with WebSocket (or falls back to a custom HTTP-based stream proto) to a JS client in the browser on the front end, and speaks its own abstract remote desktop proto to a backend proxy that talks RDP or VNC to desktop servers. Apparently there’s also a X11 graphics drive…

screengrab from Guac docs explaining its history: Historically, Guacamole was an HTML5 VNC client, and before that, a JavaScript Telnet client called RealMint ("RealMint" is an anagram for "terminal"), but this is no longer the case. Guacamole's architecture has grown to encompass remote desktop in general, and can be used as a gateway for any number of computers. Originally a proof-of-concept, Guacamole is now performant enough for daily use, and all Guacamole development is done over Guacamo…

Dass Unternehmen sich alle Hardware krallen macht nicht nur Computer teuer: Sie ist ein direkter Angriff auf unsere Fähigkeit, unabhängige Infrastrukturen zu bauen.
Uns werden die "Mittel der Computerisierung" entrissen um uns Zugang zu vermieten.

Eigene Hardware bedeutet Selbstbestimmung - und die wird durch hohe Kosten zum Luxus. Den Verursachern der Knappheit kommt das gerade recht.
