Guide to SSH Reverse Tunneling (pinggy.io)
SSH reverse tunneling is a powerful tool that enables secure remote access to systems or services that are behind firewalls or NATs (Network Address Translation). It is often used to provide external access to local systems and services without modifying the network’s security settings. In this detailed guide, we will break down SSH reverse tunneling, explain its applications, highlight security practices, and discuss alternatives. We will then discuss how Pinggy uses SSH reverse tunneling to share applications and services from localhost.

Show HN: FFmpeg-over-IP – Connect to remote FFmpeg servers (github.com/steelbrain)
Connect to remote ffmpeg servers. Are you tired of unsuccessfully trying to pass your GPU through to a docker container running in a VM? So was I! ffmpeg-over-ip allows you to run an ffmpeg server on a machine with access to a GPU (Linux, Windows, or Mac) and connect to it from a remote machine. The only thing you need is Node.js installed and a shared filesystem (could be NFS, SMB, etc.) between the two machines.

The Aurga Viewer Wireless KVM (taoofmac.com)

Using rsync to create a limited ability to write remote files (utoronto.ca)
Suppose that you have an isolated high security machine and you want to back up some of its data on another machine, which is also sensitive in its own way and which doesn't really want to have to trust the high security machine very much.
