Tape is still the best long term storage medium though.

… I still have probably 100 blank DVDs and a hundred blank CDs.

But I also have a 3.5" floppy drive so I’m not a good measure to go by on these things.

If the noise will interrupt daytime work they will. Or if its close to the deadline and the GC is going to owe a ton of money for being late. Or they have to do some core drills above an occupied floor.

The rare part would be alone and not part of a crew, and more telling, being near the front desk. Construction in a building with a front desk is usually forced to go through the freight entrance only.

I told them up front that Xfinity isn’t available at my new address but they had to ask all the questions anyway.

That’s wild.

When I canceled with them (about 4 years ago) I said I moved and they dont service the area, and that was the end of it.

Though I should have suspected Comcast would find a way to get worse.

Yep.

I’d happily crap on them for being an e-waste factory, for making it insanely hard to install anything outside of their app store, etc.

This ain’t it. This is nothing.

They seem pretty cool!

Unfortunately I can’t eat them, since the one thing they can’t seem to certify on is gluten… May be pretty good gifts though.

Well yeah, that’s half the fun

Or a fully themed, punctuation inspire flick. Named “character” to let you fill in the blanks.

Char 1: Well what do you think Mark?

Char 2: Are you sure she can handle it, Point?

Char 1: Its time we’ve shown

Char 2: our true power…

Together: As Interrobang!

Char 3: No wait, I’ve got my per…

… OK it needs to be reworked, but you get the idea.

I did not expect to get Live stuck in my head tonight, but there you go

Edit: Not a complaint BTW, I’ve owned Throwing Copper since it came out in 94

Haha, that reminds me of this classic xkcd

That’s not really what’s in there.

Its a collection of easily verifiable public statements, twitter posts, interviews, etc, of which some go against the GOP or the Trump approved messaging.

There is nothing salacious, no pictures of his good times with couches, or claims about his infatuation with drag.

Just regular background check stuff.

Neat project! I especially like that it goes for raw keycodes, real nice approach.

Unfortunately the Windows support is a hard requirement for me, but hopefully someone else sees and takes advantage

Not going to work for me, I don’t want to access it through a browser, but have it on a separate monitor, and only use the main kb/m to control. Great little device, just not a fit for what I need.

Definitely clunky on lan-mouse.

I’ll give input-leap a check with my gh account logged in, see how it goes - I’m curious if I’ll have the same fun with latency. Since its mostly for meeting stuff, a bit of lag is ok, but if its choppy or otherwise severe that could be an issue, definitely…

For the record, you may see some of these show up on ebay or something, they have been discontinued (really they just changed the line, same hardware with more variation and flexibility, which also means more variation in pricing, but also stuff like a transmitter/receiver option).

Since they are discontinued though, some companies may replace soon, so they may show up somewhere for much cheaper.

Audio which can be brought out to an amp or into a processor, relay controls, even occupancy sensor support (standard 24v line, works with pretty much anything), ability to set custom edids, and a very capable API on the base, as well as custom packages that can be installed (based around node).

Yeah its a wildly powerful little box. List price is like $2500 or so though!

More of a video switcher with USB host switching, but works nicely as a KVM. Lightware Taurus

Not really an option for me or it would interrupt some other stuff I work on personally. I could make it not my main PC and go back to Debian, but it would also mean less time for me testing my stuff. So I’m more likely to just forget IP keyboard/mouse sharing and stick one of my little keyboards and a mouse there.

The rest of the main use machines are all on what amounts to an overly expensive physical KVM (work stuff freebie), so the only reason to use the software based option is the laptop.

Yeah, Wayland definitely complicates things. I dropped synergy before v2 and no longer being open, v3 is apparently 1 with some GUI on top. I can build v1 (deskflow), as long as they are keeping the main bit underneath open I don’t mind supporting them with a $50 one time payment. We will see how it goes though, their Wayland support is still in Dev.

I had expected to see input leap further along since it had been 3 years since the fork (and 2 more years since the maintainer of the repo was active), but it doesn’t seem ready for release, as they even recommend sticking with the last barrier release for now according to their readme.

Right now, deskflow/synergy seems the most promising.

Fair point, and I’m not entirely against commercial software. Probably easier to deploy to my work laptop too.

Synergy will be on the list

EDIT: May have spoken too soon. No wayland support still it looks like. From what I can see its been on the list since around 9 months ago, was 6 weeks away 5 months ago, but as of today still not available. I’ll give it a go just to check, but I don’t think libei support will be in until 3.2. Current version up is 3.0.

Edit 2: Usable code is out, so screw it, going to rework the home setup. Worst case scenario I’ll keep a spare mouse and keyboard handy for the laptop. Going to start testing out the others in earnest in the meantime once I’ve reworked my desk (and figured out where the hell I’m putting a 50" monitor that’s apparently arriving next week for testing).
