#minput_hop — Public Fediverse posts

@nemo Unfortunately, #InputLeap has dropped official support for 32-bit platforms and talking to #Barrier or #Synergy. #DeskFlow is an alternative that adds support for newer technologies like Wayland while maintaining compatibility with legacy Barrier and Synergy clients so you can still interact with older hardware.

And if your hardware is *really* old, you may be interested in #minput_hop : https://github.com/indigoparadox/minput-hop 😌

The whole reason I'd been working on #minput_hop recently is because my Teknor SBC (and my #Dolch, for that matter,) doesn't have a PS/2 mouse port, so I had to dig out the serial mice I had and try to get those to work, which I couldn't (but it's been years). I have some more somewhere, I'm pretty sure. I don't want to buy one off ebay. Windows says it supports "Genius" or "Mouse Systems," and the mouse I found as a n "MS/AM" switch, and Google is... not helpful.

After a six-month hiatus, I finally managed to bring out something I wasn't sure was possible: a kinda workable release of #minput_hop (a play on Input Leap, if you didn't notice).

This will let you use a #Windows95 / #Windows3 PC as a client for your #Synergy / #Barrier / #InputLeap server. In theory. I only really tested with Barrier and a VM so far, so maybe it's totally broken!

But I figured it I didn't cut a release this weekend, it wouldn't happen for long. 😌
