Barrier Synergy Guacamole Hamana
  1. Barrier is a cross-platform software for sharing your mouse and keyboard between multiple computers...
    Since synergy is currently asking money for their main product, I've changed to fork called barrier ( <a href="https://github.com/debauchee/barrier" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/debauchee/barrier</a> ).<p>But +1 for the recommendation, so easy to set up and it works so well it feels like magic when using for first time.

  2. Cross-platform software for sharing your mouse and keyboard between multiple computers
    Pricing:
    • Open Source
    This is indeed cool. A lazier and less efficient solution for those that don't want to take apart the computer is synergy (<a href="https://symless.com/synergy" rel="nofollow">https://symless.com/synergy</a> and <a href="https://github.com/symless/synergy-core" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/symless/synergy-core</a>) which lets you share keyboard/mouse and clipboard over multiple computers.

  3. Access your computers from anywhere. Because the Guacamole client is an HTML5 web application, use of your computers is not tied to any one device or location. As long as you have access to a web browser, you have access to your machines.
    Or you could use the FOSS alternative you can host yourself, Apache Guacamole[0].<p>[0] <a href="http://guacamole.apache.org/" rel="nofollow">http://guacamole.apache.org/</a>.

    A search for "LCD controller" on Ebay, Aliexpress, Banggood etc. returns many products; some of these boards need reprogramming for a specific screen, while others can be configured through jumpers. Here are some useful links I collected in the past on the chips and programming tools, plus info about panels.<p><a href="https://www.panelook.com/index.php" rel="nofollow">https://www.panelook.com/index.php</a><p><a href="https://github.com/avtehnik/RTD2662" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/avtehnik/RTD2662</a><p><a href="https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=&sl=ru&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fopenrtd2662.ru%2F" rel="nofollow">https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=&sl=ru&tl=en&u=htt...</a><p><a href="http://monitor.espec.ws/files/rtd2662_spec_brief_0702_171.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://monitor.espec.ws/files/rtd2662_spec_brief_0702_171.pd...</a><p><a href="https://github.com/ghent360/RTD-2660-Programmer/" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/ghent360/RTD-2660-Programmer/</a><p><a href="https://sites.google.com/site/lcd4hobby/how-to-start" rel="nofollow">https://sites.google.com/site/lcd4hobby/how-to-start</a><p><a href="http://www.mattmillman.com/info/lcd/rovatools" rel="nofollow">http://www.mattmillman.com/info/lcd/rovatools</a><p><a href="http://www.elecrealm.com/down/class/" rel="nofollow">http://www.elecrealm.com/down/class/</a><p><a href="https://www.codeforge.com/article/258602" rel="nofollow">https://www.codeforge.com/article/258602</a>
