RustDesk is a remote desktop software, the open source TeamViewer / AnyDesk alternative. You have full control of your data, with no concerns about security since it only sends data to a server that you setup. You can use a public rendezvous/relay server or self-host one. In this step by step guide I will show you how to install RustDesk on your Synology NAS using Docker and DSM 7.2 I've based a significant amount of this guide on https://drfrankenstein.co.uk guides. First, Follow the following 4 guides: Step 0: Docker, Memory Recommendations and Limitations Step 1: Directory Setup Guide Step 2: Setting up a restricted Docker user Step 3: Setting up a Docker Bridge Network Following these guides will give you a nice Docker folder structure, a restricted user to run your containers on (this is more secure) and a dedicated network for your containers. Lets Begin First we need to set up some folders for RustDesk to save its configuration files and also where the Project will save th
Awhile ago, I wrote an article about having multiple users on a single computer using Picasa. I wrote it in 2008, after I had setup a new computer at my house. In all it worked fairly well, we never had any issues with it.
It's been 5 years, and we've bought a new computer again. I figured, it's been five years, Picasa MUST have some native functionality for this now?
Nope. Nada. Zilch.
I could do the same symlink thing, but while searching Google's forums for Picasa trying to see if they've added native support, I found a guy that had wrote a nice utility that does the symlinks.
First, a little background on why I would want to do this.
My wife and I both have our own accounts on the computer. We like it because we can personalize the computer however we want, and not bother the other.
Except this sucks when you have iTunes and Picasa, and you want to share them. For iTunes, if you want to automatically have songs the other users downloads added to your library, you have to create a bunch of symlinks, and share a database. Not the best solution. (My playlists kept overwriting her's till we figured it out and named them different).
Picasa had the same issue. I take the pictures, and download them to the Public folders. My wife will then open picasa (which will automatically find them) and edit them. But I wouldn't see the edits, unless she saved the image (But I think I got two images in mine when it discovered them the original and the edited because the database didn't know about the edit). Anyways, it was a mess.
So back to the program. It doesn't do symlinks anymore, it's a little more advanced that that.
It's called PicasaStarter. It's pretty neat. It has the following features:

- Create any number of Picasa databases
- Databases can be created in any location, including network drives, and can be shared by multiple computers and users.
- Warns if the Database is already in use, preventing Database errors.
I've been using it for a few years now, and I've had no issues.
