Can anyone concisely explain how this hack works, as if one were to introduce it to a five year old?
I'm having a hard time understanding how a USB switch can manipulate a monitor, directly or indirectly, to behave as an alternative to a KVM switch. The project README fails to provide practical examples and detail this hack in the simplest way possible. I'd love to have this solution working for a personal homelab, as prices for KVM switches are too high to financially bear.
If I get this solution working, I will contribute back to the README to address this issue.
Hey, HN! I've been a long-time lurker of this site, but decided to finally create an HN account to share this work with you all.
In essence, if you've been trying to determine an effective way to reject all outgoing network traffic to Google and Facebook-owned IPv4 and IPv6 addresses in an effort to reclaim your privacy on your personal computer, this is your opportunity to do so. Enjoy!
