    Peter,

    Welcome as host on Hacker Public Radio!

    You mentioned ICQ in this episode. I also used ICQ back in the days. I think they can be seen as one important forerunner to where we are today with chat softwares.

    Thanks Peter for your comment!

    I've been struggling, still ongoing, to details, to why, what I want to achieve. So if my thinking, web reading and other sources, can work as a knowledge sharing, I am pleased. And good luck for any digitizing journey you may travel.

  • hpr3531 (2022-02-14) "Barrier: Software KVM" by Windigo.
    Summary: "A brief inroduction to the Barrier software KVM"
    • Comment 3: SolusSpider - Peter Paterson on 2024-12-01: "Fellow user of Barrier, and also InputLeap."
      Greetings Windigo,
      We have a very similar story of how we started using Barrier, after both us being Synergy users.
      My main use of Barrier is in in my home network mostly between my desktop PC running PCLinuxOS as the host and a laptop running Solus as a client.
      In a recent Solus update Barrier disappeared!
      Discovered in the update blog that Barrier had been forked to new software named InputLeap.
      Their site is: https://github.com/input-leap/input-leap
      On that site they state: "Input Leap is a fork of barrier, by barrier's active maintainers. Currently, barrier is considered unmaintained."
      PCLinuxOS have yet to make this change, but the great news is that InputLeap and Barrier work together seamlessly.

      I do notice that you have also recorded this show:
      hpr4191 :: rkvm software KVM
      Sounds like a good solution to a specific keyboard issue.
      I look forward to listening to that show.
