Software options are:
Synergy (software KVM) (free version is limited, https://github.com/debauchee/barrier is the open source variant)
NoMachine (remote control software, server/client) nomachine.com (free for personal use)
RDP (Windows Remote Desktop)from work PC to personal PC or the other way around
bit more DIY: Sunshine/Moonlight-QT to stream your personal desktop to your work laptop: https://github.com/LizardByte/Sunshine https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-qt
That or get another set of peripherals?
Edit:
Does your monitor have a USB hub?
Could use that and then swap the USB Hub cable between PCs, connect your Personal PC via Display Port and your home PC via HDMI, then switch using the monitor's menu button?
Finished Dave the Diver, loved it!
Now playing Halls of Torment, have played and finished Vampire Hunters, HOT is a bit different, I miss the swinging music of VH. that said it's fun to figure out and explore HOT.
That explains why I had to clear my browser cache, I was unable to login until I did.
Thanks for all your efforts.
I'm sorry to hear you're using Discord, for me it fits right in with the likes of Reddit, Twitter and Facebook. Why not use something independant and federated like Matrix or XMPP?
If IP addresses are streets, ports are mailboxes.
My own house, internet line with ISP that is cool with selfhosting, Proxmox/TrueNAS, Opnsense/OpenWRT for network equipment, server hardware is asrock server board in one server, hp microserver gen8 for storage, https://zaggy.nl
If I didn't have the first 2 I would probably use a VPS.
You could through the following route:
- purchase something like a small Synology NAS and learn how to set up the networking/firewall bits
- buy/repurpose a used desktop/laptop, install something like yunohost/unraid
- buy parts for your own server, put it together, use the same own server but install proxmox, setup VMs/containers
- use the same own server but install debian, play around with docker/docker-compose/ansible
If you don't have the means to get new hardware, you can use hyper-v or virtualbox for free on Windows or virtualbox/virt-manager on Linux on existing hardware.
Simple project to start with: install pihole and configure it as your DNS adblocking filter at home
- install iphole on a VM/PC/raspberry pi that is connected to your home LAN
- configure your PC or router to use the pihole host as DNS server
- test various websites you know that have ads before and after using pihole
While doing things like these, keep notes what you do by day, using those notes, put together your own howto manuals. Do not be afraid to fail, sleep over it and try again, don't be afraid to ask specific questions here or on other forums, IRC.
Now for the Final Challenge, write an eli5 tutorial on how to host and maintain a mail server!
