  • RustDesk sort of fits the bill. It’s open-source, has 2FA, can be self-hosted (but not needed), the client runs on anything, but the main issue here is that no amount of workarounds will make an untrusted machine any less untrusted, you’re essentially extending the display and input from a dubious machine into your own.

    If you’re really worried about the security aspect, my suggestion would be to only use your phone as the client, and if you need to do anything more complex, use a Bluetooth keyboard connected to it. There are some foldable keyboards that don’t take too much space and are not terrible.

    Timeshift with BTRFS kicks ass. I have mine set for daily snapshots, retained for a week. Only the changes between snapshots are stored, so the extra disk usage is minimal, and easily justified by the peace of mind in case of fuck-ups or broken updates.

    I don’t have the source right now, but I had the same idea not long ago, and the tl;dr is swap on a zvol is a very bad idea. If your system ever runs low on memory and actually needs to do heavy swapping, you’re setting yourself up for a catastrophe.
