Try Synergy!

https://symless.com/synergy

This software allows you to use one keyboard and one mouse across multiple Windows, Mac and Linux systems with ease. I am in IT and use it between three desktops and laptops with different operating systems.

I bought Synergy when it was a kickstarter and I believe you can download and try it for free before you buy.

Worth a try, sincerely.

edit: Reddit has a few reviews on it just in case you want to ensure it’s a real thing and it’s not malware from an Internet stranger:

JD Vance has it in his shopping cart.

TL;DR: The answer is an astounding NO.

Pliers it is then… sigh

Don’t forget Pulse audio!

Storage vendors are rolling their hands in delight while systems administrators, particularly backup admins are cringing at the thought.

Old story: There was a sale at a big box Electronics store on Seagate Barracuda SCSI-2 Wide 9.1GB drives and I bought 6 of them to give me a 40GB RAID-5 on an old mylex dac960 scsi raid card. Bigtime storage in 1999.

Those fed my 3:1 ratio mp3 sharing site that my uunet bot advertised haha.

Sylvartas is right, it’s an old flatbed scanner.

My 1999 setup running Slackware while playing Loki’s Civ CTP

Daily Linux user since Slackware 95, news to me too lol

sorry, missed the /s, but figured the tree was still worth seeing for some.

#echo “” > $1; echo “Debutu”

Debian was first in that line. Here’s the Linux family tree

It got too close to the Apples and was corrupted.

As NateNate60 mentioned: USB Flash. I second this as a cost effective alternative to anything else. Corsair Survivor, Sandisk Exteme Pro and Kingston DataTraveler Flash drives to 256GB are cheaper than anything else and just as reliable.

Should you want to go the SSD route, the Corsair MX500 drives purchased with any external esata or usb chassis is the most reliable option for the price.

Yeah, we dumped Cisco for Aruba two years ago. Completely replaced the entire company core network infra. No major complaints.

On the Enterprise side of things, I was a huge VCE fan pre-Dell days. Only thing close to that now is Pure Flashstack, which isn’t bad, just pricey. I’m just not a Dell fan, Michael Dell is a fuck-whit.

Comparing my experience with Cisco B and C Class, HPE DL and Dell PE server experience over the past 20 years:

Cisco: Expensive, Good support/service during lifetime of product, excellent management tools w/o buying additional lics, reliable, but eosl/eol is short and poorly supportable after.

DELL: Just retired some 30 of their servers and storage. No regrets. Expensive, horrible support, licensing is a nightmare, but e360 and online tools were better than others. EOL/EOSL support is okay for a max of 2 yrs afterwards.

HPE: Just deployed 20 DL380G10+, Cheaper than other 2, licensing is a pita, support is meh, but InfoSight and support costs are cheap and there’s good support past eol/eosl.

I’ve done the whole white box thing like SuperMicro a number of times and while it is cheaper upfront, it’s a headache over time.

Amazon Price tracker and other similar ones for big box stores help dispel that thankfully.

Then there’s California where NEM 3.0 makes it less than worth while to install or upgrade your existing solar installation.

It’s like people hate ads so much they’re willing to change browsers… gasp

Google had a revelation.

I cringe and have flashbacks hearing that dialup noise… Hang up the phone, I’m on a free AOL diskette for two more hours!
