Just try to clone Mercurial repo (Firefox) and roll back in history to specific commit. Let me tell you beforehand - it is (at least used to be) impossible. What you could do is to "clone it again" up to specified point. You have to do it somewhere else on a filesystem just to needlessly spoil disk space and you end up having the same sources at least twice. When I asked why I got handwaving arguments about code history being sacred, which is of course nonsense. If it was so... in Git I'd make another branch and rewind to commit I care about without wasting another 25gigs of disk. How can be this achieved in mercurial these days (without waste)? Back in days I wanted to do some work specifically on Firefox, and those steps were the only I could come up with after a lot of searching and asking questions, and because of Mercurial I gave up, to me it felt like it was a high entry barrier on purpose.
So, no my friend, a lot better wins time.
Serverless means you have no server. Stop repeating amazons lies. It is nonsense.
Their achievement should not be praised, on contrary they need to be told they're wasting resources, heating up planet and emit carbon dioxide for no good reason. This is not how optimization looks like. And no, it is not serverless, since obviously something serves that stuff, stop lying already.
i dont get why there isnt SPICE implementation outside of libvirt. because, thats even better. i mean - usb redirection, sound, (possibly even 3d accel)...
and suggesting doubt-ware like anydesk or even worse - teamviewer... okay, these last ones make sense in some situations.
