Campaign prep happens at work, on the laptop. "I am a DM and I like to use my laptop at work to write my stuff, but when I'm at home, I'd rather be able to do everything on the one computer." Where does your side project get written?
5 of the computers in this room are servers, 4 on Linux and 1 on Windows. The other 3 are Windows 11 machines for work and games. 4 of the 8 share a keyboard and mouse. Which 4 would you have picked?
Bring your own TLS certificate: Synergy 3 version 3.8.0-beta lets you use one of yours instead of the certificate it generated, or regenerate this computer's if you'd rather start fresh. Do you issue your own certs for the machines on your desk?

Dark mode in Synergy 3 wasn't a palette swap. Every icon got redrawn to follow the theme, windows stopped flashing white as they open, and system dialogs match now too. That's in 3.7. Does your OS pick the theme for your apps, or do you force dark everywhere?
In the same post: the Synergy 1 version 1.21 update and where Dragon has got to. symless.com/synergy/blog/syn…
This week's setup competition winner: a Mac mini and a Windows desktop sharing one K98M keyboard and Logitech mouse through Synergy 3. Work on one, game on the other, no KVM hardware needed. ed83ddcf8 @soomae_vfx
Synergy 1.21 closes 9 security advisories, and there's now a page on the Synergy website listing every one we've fixed: severity, versions affected, the build that fixed it. Do you track CVEs in the desktop apps you run, or only server side?
The 1.21 round-up it came out of, with the Synergy 3 and Dragon changes: symless.com/synergy/blog/syn…
Screen layout cleanup in Synergy 3 version 3.8.2: a computer you add lands next to the primary, the editor keeps the layout centered at any size, and a dragged screen no longer sticks to the cursor. If the Core can't start, a dialog shows its last error. Out October 12.

The target for Synergy Dragon is a beta by March 2027. It's been in public alpha since August, 0.5.0 is the current build, and updates come from inside the app. What would make you put an alpha on the machine you actually work on?

Buttons and other controls in Synergy 3 have proper accessibility roles as of 3.7, so screen readers describe them correctly. The window resizes as well, handy when there are a lot of computers on the layout page.
Synergy 3 uses Synergy 1 as its Core, and 3.7 ships with the 1.21 Core. Full write-up: symless.com/synergy/blog/syn…
Three machines, one keyboard. This week's Synergy setup competition winner runs 1 PC and 2 laptops, with an ultrawide in splitscreen and an extra monitor alongside. 🏆
