This happened to me several time in my early days with Bitwarden browser addon. I would create an entry and copy paste the password to the site before clicking save. The addon would loose the context when loosing focus and the entry was gone. I had to do several password reset after creating new entries because of this. I think they fixed this or I just got used to the flow.

This is not what you asked for specifically but check out tqm https://github.com/autobrr/tqm it does everything you want automatically. It takes a bit of fine tuning but it can handle a lot of scenarios.

I have two Yale Zwave locks that are at least 11 years old and still kicking. The key factor to this is the non reliance on the cloud.

Zigbee, Zwave, Esphome and other non-cloud will always work longer than any cloud based solution that is at risk of being shutdown, use a outdated or no longer available app, become a subscription, etc.

I agree with you that they should be required by law to open their code and unlock the devices but I doubt this will happen any time soon.

Mine are there too!

I have a surface 8 pro too and the easiest way to set it up was to use Aurora (or bluefin if you prefer Gnome). All the drivers were preloaded and if you want to use luks with the tpm it is a breeze to setup.

You can achieve the same with other distros, I’ve done it with Arch and Nixos too but if you don’t have a solid Linux background I strongly suggest Aurora or Bluefin for an easy and solid installation.

The two options I know of are Headscale and Netbird.

I am doing this with my personal and work laptops. I have two dell docking stations and a KVM to switch between the two.

It will work, probably not well. There is a ton of factors to take into account.

1- When switching the KVM input, depending on the KVM, the screens just get disconnected, meaning that the screens get re-detected each time you switch. Sometime it works well,sometimes not. Your laptop may also enter sleep mode since it is closed without screens attached. You may have to open it and press the keyboard if the USB from the KVM and docks are not re-detected.

2- If you use Displayport MST to connect your screens you have to make sure both the dock and KVM will support it.

3- When switching the KVM USB also gets disconnected and reconnected, it can be problematic with your dock, also see end of point 1

I have both high quality (and too expensive) docks and KVM that I took time to research and it works ok most of the time but still glitches. The docks and multiple screens add complexity to the setup and fail points.

If you go this way you will want to take your time and make sure all the pieces work together, I would steer clear of cheap Amazon stuff also.

• KVM : iogear GCS1964
• Docks : 2 WD19S
• Screens: 3 Dell U2415 connected through HDMi
