The closest I’ve found in terms of description is https://github.com/feschber/lan-mouse, but the lack of encryption on the connection has discouraged me from using it.
I’m also a paid Synergy user, and it’s frankly comedic how long Wayland support has been on their road map. I’m not convinced it’s ever coming, which means I’m probably only 1-2 distro updates from being forced to use something else

Looks neat.

nyxpsi
WIP: Next-gen network protocol for reliable data transfer in lossy environments. Outperforms TCP/UDP in high packet loss scenarios.
Project mention: Nyxpsi – A Next-Gen Network Protocol for Extreme Packet Loss | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-09-16Hi, respectfully, you do not appear to understand how networking works.
> https://github.com/nyxpsi/nyxpsi/blob/bbe84472aa2f92e1e82103...
This is not how you "simulate packet loss". You are not "dropping TCP packets". You are never giving your data to the TCP stack in the first place.
UDP is incomparable to TCP. Your protocol is incomparable to TCP. Your entire benchmark is misguided and quite frankly irrelevant.
As far as I can tell, absolutely no attempt is made whatsoever to retransmit lost packets. Any sporadic failure (for example, wifi dropout for 5 seconds) will result in catastrophic data loss. I do not see any connection logic, so your protocol cannot distinguish between connections other than hoping that ports are never reused.
Have you considered spending less time on branding and more time on technical matters?
