Really wish there were opensource alternatives to Parsec and Rainway that weren't tied down to hardware (Moonlight). As/if we move away from x86 I think it would be a great way to archive old games that haven't found their way to Webassembly.
It would definitely be great to see archive.org use something like it stream old software/games/media without having to distribute it.
“remote desktop with low-latency, sound, and gamepad support” _feels_ like the sort of well-scoped highly-technical problem that open-source should excel at... I remember wanting that back in the days when VNC was considered state of the art and being told it was impossible, and now we’re once again in the situation of closed-source innovation and open-source trying to copy it :(
I wonder what the odds are of parsec opening their code / protocol, making their money from renting out servers...
