The usual route was blocked.
The need was direct: reach a personal machine from a restricted environment. Existing tools were not always available or shaped for the exact job.

Remote Control Daemon
A web-accessible personal remote-control utility that sends view updates and turns browser keyboard or click input into commands on a home computer.
What it was actually solving.
A personal route to a home computer from places where the normal remote-control options were inconvenient, unavailable, or poorly matched to the constraints.
Build the narrow route.
A custom service sends PNG snapshots from the host and accepts keyboard plus click input through an API, then translates those inputs into PyAutoGUI commands.
Useful means stable enough to trust.
The daemon connected web UI, backend routing, input handling, image transport, and automation. The real work was making the whole route dependable enough for regular use.
Illustrative route map / not live telemetry
Input goes home.
The route loops: receive a compressed view, send a deliberate input, translate it on the host, and return the next view.
More from the bench.
Other projects tied together with small APIs, automation, and direct control surfaces.
