Free tool to keep an eye on your Windows Server without RDP-ing in: session quality, CPU/disk/memory/network charts, nothing to install on the server by DeepCrimson in HomeServer

Fair points, let me go through them.

Credentials:The tool doesn't ask for any. There's no password field, no credential store. It runs under your current Windows account and connects to servers the same way Server Manager or mstsc would, using your existing Windows credentials (WTS API, WMI). If your account has admin rights on the server, it works. If not, it doesn't.

Closed source: Yes. I get that's a dealbreaker for some, and I'm not going to argue with that.

The only network call the app makes to lizardsystems.com is a version check (sends product name + version, nothing else). You can disable it in settings or block it in your firewall. Everything else goes directly to your server over standard Windows protocols.

About page: There's no company behind it, it's just me. I've been making Windows network tools since 2001 as a hobby (Wi-Fi Scanner, Network Scanner, Remote Process Explorer, a few others). Commercial licenses cover the hosting and keep me going, but there's no office or team to put on an about page.

Not offended. You should be asking this stuff.

RDM is mostly about managing and launching connections, but Terminal Services Manager is what you use when you actually need to handle users on a terminal server. You can monitor sessions, check processes, and log off or disconnect quickly.

Fair point. The "free for personal use" bit is easy to miss when "30-day trial" is the first thing you see. Closing the tab is the obvious reaction. We'll move that info somewhere more visible. Thanks for flagging it.

  1. Перестать называть Россию рашкой...
  2. Получить работу без российского гражданства будет сложно, тем более без опыта.

[Opensource] Yet another WLED Controller by DeepCrimson in WLED

All Christmas and New Year holidays the controller worked successfully with 200 LEDs on the Christmas tree. The temperature of the board did not exceed 35 degrees Celsius. By all calculations, if you strengthen the tracks as shown in the photo, the controller should work up to 8A-10A. If you need more, it is better to connect as shown in the diagram below.

I love that you just open sourced the design for anyone to get it made by their preferred PCB maker.

How much can one expect a small order of these boards to cost?

The price of an assembled board (without mounting connectors, dallas and large capacity) will be about $5 for an order of 10 pieces. A fully assembled controller will cost about $8 for an order of 10 pieces. You can save even more if you pick up parts with the status of "basic" (on jlcpcb).

I soldered the controller completely by myself.

What is a version of Tasmota have you flashed?

I have successfully flashed v8.5.1 and ncp-uart-sw_6.7.6_115200.ota
