vscode-remote-release VS Signal-Server

It would be great, if people interested in this feature/having similar problems would consider pushing the following issue: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-remote-release/issues/8373

The other option may require that you add the Remote X11 extension to VSCode (Unless Microsoft has undone the damage they did to their OpenSSH client in the last few years in which case you could just enable X11 forwarding in your ssh options) if you're trying to execute everything from VSCode, and you would have to have a suitable browser or viewer installed on the remote server along with the xdg-utils package (or whatever contains xdg-open if you're not running Debian).

Take a look at this: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-remote-release/issues/6375

If it's "The connection to the terminal's pty host process is unresponsive, the terminals may stop working", apparently it's an old problem: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-remote-release/issues/7964

VSCode with Remote-Container extension installed.

Possibly related github issue?

This might be it.

Hello! I came across this Github issue that I think would be helpful for remote workers. It's about the possibility to connect to an existing tunnel by using the terminal of OS instead of VSCode UI. This would allow us to use tunnels as a full SSH replacement in scenarios where SSH itself isn't possible. If you think this would be helpful, please upvote the issue here: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-remote-release/issues/8238

> They could at least BSL the server code and allow others to verify the server code and host but not compete.

This is exactly what they do (except they use AGPL): https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Server

https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Server/blob/main/service/src/main/java/org/whispersystems/textsecuregcm/push/APNSender.java for APNs push notification payloads

git clone https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Server.git

yes it is available here https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Server/blob/main/service/pom.xml

You could also start your own signal server, but with blackjack, and hookers

The fact that it locks you into using their servers, does not distribute on F-Droid (only Google Play OR an APK with an insecure update mechanism), and has a completely closed-source "abusive message filter" module server side, that could functionally be used for censorship, storing messages for future decryption, or any other number of nefarious purposes - we have no idea since it's not open source (https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Server/blob/main/.gitmod...).

Additionally, you cannot distribute branded forks or Signal, and if you do fork it, your fork is not allowed to connect to Signal's "official" OWS (open whisper systems) servers - hostility to federation should be viewed with prejudice and suspicion at the very least, it suggests a vested interest in a single point of failure (or control), which goes against user interests.

It’s actually the signal server that isn’t reproducible because of the abusive message filter that’s in a private repository. It’s clear as day here: https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Server
