My hotel WiFi quite sensibly doesn't let devices talk to each other. Which is annoying because I usually use #Deskflow to control my work and home laptops through one keyboard and mouse to avoid swapping.
(Yes there are ways I could work around this. No I can't be bothered)
Deskflow Contributors released #Deskflow version 1.25.0. https://deskflow.org/
Qué gran descubrimiento #deskflow... (otro) fork de #barrier para usar un solo teclado y mouse en varias computadoras de la LAN.
Barrier está abandonado, pero era la alternativa en #Kalilinux, y usaba #inputleap en @archlinux, otro fork compatible.
#Deskflow es otro fork de barrier, también compatible, y proyecto activo... va muy bien de momento, recomendado.
Todo #opensource en #gnu #linux, como corresponde 😃
@geekland Buen dato, estaba usando el viejo #barrier en #kalilinux y el #inputleap en #arch, ahora probé conectar ambos hosts con #deskflow y va de maravilla... y parece que el proyecto está bastante activo.
Deskflow habe ich jetzt das erste Mal ausprobiert, da es bei Zorin 18 Pro vorinstalliert war. Tastatur, Maus, Zwischenablage teilen sich zwei Computer im gleichen Netzwerk.
Ausprobiert zwischen Win-PC und Zorin-PC = klappt nahtlos.

How to use laptop or tablet as a touchpad (and keyboard) for a Windows PC
After decades of working with computers, I started to develop some wrist and arm pain a few year ago. So I switched from using whatever random mouse I could find for under $20 to using input devices meant to alleviate wrist pain. And for the past few years I’ve been happily switching back and forth between a Logitech MX Vertical mouse and a Kensington Expert Mouse Wireless Trackball.
And […]

Moved my work environment from Synergy 3.x to DeskFlow for sharing KB/Mouse across devices. Synergy was OK, but I added a Raspberry Pi 4b+Monitor and Synergy doesn't have ARM builds.
Moved the Pi from Labwc/LXDE to X11/KDE since DeskFlow doesn't work with LXDE but honestly I'm happier with that setup anyhow.
Now it's all happy and I can control everything (plus copy/paste).
Had to do a manual config for my deranged layout. Names changed to protect the guilty.
Why do I always pick the wrong tech battles?

Display Server = Wayland
KVM = Deskflow - Client

Desktop:
Operating System = PCLinuxOS

@nemo Unfortunately, #InputLeap has dropped official support for 32-bit platforms and talking to #Barrier or #Synergy. #DeskFlow is an alternative that adds support for newer technologies like Wayland while maintaining compatibility with legacy Barrier and Synergy clients so you can still interact with older hardware.
And if your hardware is *really* old, you may be interested in #minput_hop : https://github.com/indigoparadox/minput-hop 😌
Started to implement a better personal-work split on my machines. Now I no longer keep a copy of my memex on my work machine, instead I keep my laptop on my desk and switch between them with #Deskflow . It's not ideal, I'd rather keep only one machine powered on, but I also don't want to risk my #privacy. I'll experiment with letting the laptop go to sleep and auto-reconnect when it wakes. Maybe Deskflow could send a #wakeOnLan packet?
