Obvious, but don't plug these into your work computer unless you want to get questioned for looking like a fraudulent DPRK/Nigerian remote worker.

I am using Tang and Clevis without a TPM on an Orange Pi 5. The key is stored on my Tang server. No TPM required. It is either on my LAN with that server available, or you will need to enter a key. It am only trying to prevent casual snooping if it goes missing from my garage though. Anybody more sophisticated can have my garage YouTube browsing history.
This. I'm not fighting against a state level actor. My concern is some crackhead burglar stealing my stuff and then my personal data ending up in the hands of whoever buys the stolen goods.
Exactly. Disk encryption simplifies a stolen device to a VISA problem.
As in, no problem, I will just buy another one. At these RAM and storage prices, maybe not.

#163Tangentially, I tested many KVM models:

The only one that met my requirements was the UGREEN 8K@60Hz DisplayPort KVM switch:

Several months in without any major issues.

I wish there was support for 3 monitors, and 3 computers. Otherwise this would have been an immediate buy!

You missed the IP part. Which is what makes these product useful to many.

Comet Q works well, if the usb c port supports DP-ALT
That looks like an interesting device. I'm more talking about being able to attach a normal laptop to another computer though, without any IP/Networking requirements.
Cheap 4K HDMI/VGA-to-USB input boards and reverse HID cables are available. Betwen the two for $50 - they turn your laptop into a Moniitor, Keyboard and Mouse for a random computer.
Re: JetKVM Mini
#168Are there any good KVMs for gaming? Right now, I use a capture card for video, connect the mouse directly to the destination, and use a piece of software called Deskflow to transmit my keyboard. But Deskflow occasionally crashes, so it'd be nice to have a hardware solution (also that can be used for BIOS/etc). And Deskflow also won't work if I install SteamOS, once Nvidia works. I looked at making a solution myself,…
KVMs are for rebooting and recovering servers without needing physical access. Maybe you would have some chance with HDMI splitter connected with an EDID dummy plug and an HDMI-Ethernet capture encoder thing, and some dedicated KVM for just keyboard and mouse, but idk.
Honestly, this whole KVM thread is a bit confusing to me. I've always equated KVM with keyboard/video/mouse switches: enabling multiple computers to be controlled by the same I/O devices. Nowadays I just use a multi-source monitor and USB switch for that (can even automatically control the monitor via DCC, depending on the switch state, look it up on HN).
And I usually refer to the "IP KVMs" as a "lights-out" module/engine as I was familiar with HP's "ilo (integrated lights out) [0]. More on lights out management on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Out-of-band_management
I was thinking of making my own with an ESP32 + serial, as that's enough in theory, though I am unsure how well-supported serial ports are in BIOS and bootloader. Also, IIRC RS232 is ±12V, so the ESP would need a level shifter.
TFA's device looks cheap enough (well, depending on shipping to EU), I may just get one. The screen is a bit superfluous though, and I think that the ATX power button support is a must.

Sunshine works on linux and windows, screen capture uses parts of the gpu meant to do that as result you get lower latency than separate capture and encode.
Windows behaves badly during screen capture. I don't care if the gpu has a dedicated encoder and it is absolutely not lower latency than the gpu's native display output.
> Windows behaves badly during screen capture
How? I and many other have been using it for years without problems.
> it is absolutely not lower latency than the gpu's native display output.
and subsequent encode
