How to Install RustDesk on Your Synology NAS

RustDesk is a remote desktop software, the open source TeamViewer / AnyDesk alternative. You have full control of your data, with no concerns about security since it only sends data to a server that you setup. You can use a public rendezvous/relay server or self-host one. In this step by step guide I will show you how to install RustDesk on your Synology NAS using Docker and DSM 7.2 I've based a significant amount of this guide on https://drfrankenstein.co.uk guides. First, Follow the following 4 guides: Step 0: Docker, Memory Recommendations and Limitations Step 1: Directory Setup Guide Step 2: Setting up a restricted Docker user Step 3: Setting up a Docker Bridge Network Following these guides will give you a nice Docker folder structure, a restricted user to run your containers on (this is more secure) and a dedicated network for your containers. Lets Begin First we need to set up some folders for RustDesk to save its configuration files and also where the Project will save th

Embed a Slideshow from Picasa Web / Google Plus

One of the great features of Picasa Web was that you could embed a Flash slideshow of your albums. Google would even give you the code to do it.  There was a button that said Embed and it would give you the code. Just cut and paste and you were done.

With the migration to Google Plus Photos, this disappeared.

Here's a work around.

Use the following link to get back to the original PicasaWeb site.

https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/myphotos?noredirect=1

Hopefully the embed button makes a re-appearance, or Google leaves the old page up forever.

*******UPDATE*******
One of the commenters below posted this website.

It seems to work pretty good!

    Thank you so much! I cannot tell you how many hours of my life were wasted trying to figure this out. WHY did they make this so difficult with their "update"?!?!?

    Thank you so much. Really freaked me out they forced G+ on us & when I went to put pics & slideshows on my website, I couldn't find the html tagging. Not sure why the took that info off, really uncool.

    Thank you so much for this hint. I was so frustrated when the slideshow ability went away. I do hope they will think about bringing it back. Again, thanks!

    Thank you. This really helped. I don't know why this was taken away. This may be a deal breaker if it doesn't get installed in the newer Picasa or I will change to Flicker (If slideshows are available) or some one else.Thanks again for the work around.

    Really appreciate this link, it helps a lot! Now how do I upload pictures to that album from Picasa? It keeps uploading them to the Google Plus site where I can't get to it. Thanks for any advice!

    Thanks, I wonder what purpose Google sees in frustrating people by eliminating popular functions like the code to embed a slide show.

    google don't realise the angst they cause, maybe they are not human, they just prefaced a Chopin Mazurka with 30 seconds of shrieks and electronic suffering for me on You tube so I can well believe they can cause angst here as well....

    Has Google changed things again? I embedded shows into my web site and they worked at the end of 2013, now they are again gone.

    I did like the embed function web albums, but I prefer to use slidemypics.com since it is not a flash player and will work on mobile devices. It can link directly to your picasa web albums!

      Google slideshow uses Adobe Flash. Flash, for the most part, does not work on Mobile devices.

      Use slidemypics I referenced above, it's 100% HTML5, so it will work on EVERYTHING.

    An awesome way to embed Picasa and Google Plus photos - try the Pimax plugin

In August 1999, I bought my own domain name, mpking.com .  This domain name. Over the years I've used a variety of blogging software. Initially I did all the website design myself, hand crafting the HTML myself. I even had one of those *Designed by Notepad* buttons. I still have one of the custom drop cap letters I made. Yea, it's really hard to see, because it's White text.  My first website, like most all bad websites of the early 2000, was black theme.  I ran the website off my computer in my room. I quickly tired of this, and moved onto a Blog software platform.  You used an actual program program, (I don't remember it's name) and you would type up your entry, then upload it to the website.  That tired quickly, as the software was at home, and most entries, then as now, revolved around work. Then I discovered FreeGuppy .  It was online CMS platform, and it was nearly perfect, for almost five years.I even developed some plugin's for the product. A
