  3. telepythy

    Remote Python Runner

    Hmm interesting idea. I was working on something a couple weeks ago after all the "αcτµαlly pδrταblε εxεcµταblε" stuff. My idea was to be able to run local programs like your favorite fancy shell, but on a remote machine or container that does not have it installed (think lightweight containers you need to work in). The idea was to have a parent program that runs your shell or other client program using ptrace to intercept and proxy all syscalls to a small client on the remote machine/container. So the code would be running locally, but all of the syscalls would be running remotely. I actually got it somewhat working but gave up when I realized that the difficulty in memory and file access. Files in particular were hard since I couldn't disambiguate if a file access was for a "local" or "remote" file. Also in the past I did something silmilar for python programs https://github.com/seiferteric/telepythy

  4. OpenAFS

    Fork of OpenAFS from git.openafs.org for visualization

    https://www.openafs.org/

    But I never did get around to play much with either.

    Maybe it's time for someone to build another system on top of foundationdb?

  5. rffmpeg

    rffmpeg: remote SSH FFmpeg wrapper tool

    I believe you could get a similar result using Jellyfin and rffmpeg [0]. From a quick glance it seems like it should work from ARM->x86

  6. llama

    See also llama:

    > Llama is a tool for running UNIX commands inside of Amazon Lambda. Its goal is to make it easy to outsource compute-heavy tasks to Lambda, with its enormous available parallelism, from your shell.
