Even if they are perfectly good

Could that perhaps be an issue of stupid licensing? With, smart licensing, or whatever, if the license is non-transferable, then the hardware is basically an expensive paper weight.
I’ve heard Cisco used to give out Meraki devices for free on some events, because without a license they were totally useless. Until someone figured out how to run OpenWRT on them.

Maybe a solution similar to this could work: https://github.com/nfcgate/nfcgate/blob/v2/doc/mode/Relay.md

Have the card at home sitting on a reader connected to your homelab, add NFC module to PinePhone and simply relay the traffic over network.

Yeah, I already tried losetup unsuccessfully, but thanks anyway.

… except for it being built on electron so it’s a 300MB install.

and you need to use a paid VPN

There’s one possible disadvantage: accidentally selecting wrong profile. And suddenly I am looking at Monosodium Glutamate through university’s VPN.

You could also alias sudo instead then.

Hey.
So, it would seem I gave you a solution that’s still more complicated than it needs to be.
You see, I was using Debian at the time I initially played with this, but now I am testing it on Arch. When you check the man pages, you’ll see an interesting option available on Arch.

So…
Waypipe on Debian 13 (latest) is version 0.9.2.
Meanwhile on Arch we have 0.11.0.

There’s an interesting new option, --xwls.

Use xwayland-satellite to run X clients under Wayland; for server or ssh modes. This binds X display sockets for the next available display number and sets the DISPLAY environment variable for the program run under waypipe server. This option will only work if xwayland-satellite is installed and in PATH.

Which means that on Debian you have to:

1. Compile xwayland-satellite
2. Add xwayland-satellite to directory in PATH
3. Compile new version of waypipe from source
4. Add it to directory in PATH, at least for server

While on Arch you just pacman -Sy xwayland-satellite waypipe.

Then it works with waypipe --xwls ssh user@IP program.
It seems to have been added in 0.10.6.

I use this one: https://f-droid.org/packages/com.vrem.wifianalyzer

Shit’s about to get bad.

Unless you consider murrsuits a subset of fursuits. Those will have… strategically placed holes.

Rip’n share sounds like a good phrase for pirate site.

Depends on the use case. If thousands get separated, 69,420 looks nicer. If you want a port number, only 42069 is valid.

But that bear looks so pettable 🥺

This seems like it’s for sharing same keyboard and mouse between multiple computers. What I am looking for is for the secondary laptop just to act as a monitor. That’s it. It could just be a video stream of a virtual monitor.

Thing 3 spice vnc is built in

Waypipe proxies separate windows, not the whole display. It’s pretty cool. Just looks the same as local programs, but running on a different machine.

Reminds me of VirtualBox on Wayland. It won’t correctly capture the mouse, so it just exits and re-enters the window in random positions. Say, on guest you see it in middle left, you move it a bit to the right, and it jumps out of bottom right corner.

So, time to have a second mouse, and do USB passthrough.

But also UEFI on my HP mini PC doesn’t work with every keyboard, so a second keyboard for UEFI.

KDE Plasma has that too. It’s funny, the cursor just keeps growing while you’re shaking it. Slowly, you can eventually cover the whole screen.
