Barrier: Open-Source KVM Software
There is an actively developed fork https://github.com/input-leap/input-leap, however that fork is still undergoing heavy development and recommends sticking with Barrier until they're able to release v3.0.0 which they expect rather soon.

Hrvach/Deskhop: Fast Desktop Switching Device
barrier is basically a dead project now. The active members of the project forked it and are going to release when ready but

Keep an eye on that for anything new

KDE Plasma 6.0 Is Enabling Wayland by Default
There's a new fork of barrier called input leap (not to be confused with the leap motion), https://github.com/input-leap/input-leap with work on getting Wayland support in shape. Not sure how far the support is atm, but the gnome 45 release notes mentioned "Wayland support for Input Leap" (https://release.gnome.org/45/)

What do you think of Smart KVM as a feature on a monitor?
I wonder if I would be better off just buying a LG monitor without the Smart KVM, and instead using Barrier (or, Input Leap, which seems to be maintained actively compared to Barrier https://github.com/input-leap/input-leap)
- Barrier-like KVM for XWayland and MacOS
-
KVM but only mouse and keyboard
Could also be worth mentioning that Barrier is basically unmaintained at this point so you'll probably never get Wayland support there. The maintainers (apparently the owner of the debauchee/barrier dropped off the face of the earth) of Barrier forked it and migrated to input-leap (issue with details if interested) which is where all development is presently, although they haven't made a release yet.

Tell HN: Impassable Cloudflare Challenges Are Ruining My Browsing Experience
Yeah, I’ll admit there’s some paranoia about losing access after a botched upgrade.
I’m considering investing in a https://tinypilotkvm.com/, but that can wait till I’ve lost ssh at least once. I’m not hosting aws on the thing so I can afford to play it fast and loose :)

Hrvach/Deskhop: Fast Desktop Switching Device
I make one that I put a lot of effort into documenting:
https://github.com/tiny-pilot/tinypilot
It's pretty easy to extend since it's just Python and vanilla HTML/JS/CSS, so there's not much of a toolchain to install.
You can buy it pre-made for $399 or make a DIY one for under $100.

Took me awhile to remember what it was called, but TinyPilot [^0] by mtlynch is pretty cool. Michael sometimes writes about running a hardware business on his blog [^1].
