I solved the multi-computer-to-multi-monitor problem with a Level1Techs KVM[1]. The price (~$500 for the variant I purchased) initially gave me pause, but the longer I've had it, the happier I am with my decision.
It handles all the switching at the hardware level and thus has no perceptible lag for video or anything else. I'm able to connect a single set of peripherals, in my case, two monitors, a keyboard, a trackball, and a USB audio interface, to both my Linux desktop and a CalDigit Thunderbolt dock connected to my laptop. The L1T KVM has hotkeys[2] that let me switch between systems, with only a 1–2 second delay.
The benefit, for me, of this extra box now mounted under my desk is that when I upgrade my monitor, I only care about how good a display it is, not whether there's some perfect confluence of KVM, refresh rate, aspect ratio, display technology, etc. I find the monitor I want and let a separate IO routing layer.

Saw this mentioned at last week's product announcement and it looks compelling! I could see this slimming up my travel tech bag or maybe even it earning a place on my desk depending on the cost of their other "tool cards."

I read "tmux 2: mouse-free productivity" in a weekend years ago and it may be, pound-for-pound, one of the more impactful books on my productivity.
Seems like they are keeping up-to-date too: https://bookshop.org/p/books/tmux-3-productive-mouse-free-de...

I want both ;D I want profiles to have different partitions of plugins and browser configurations. I want containers to partition my browsing data. I want my Mozilla account to sync my browser history across all my profiles.

would it happen to be "Zones of Thought" by Vernor Vinge?

i have a similar setup with a PM box and a Ubiquiti Dream Machine Pro. i provision VMs with a Terraform provider, have a script that processes Terraform outputs into an Ansible inventory INI file to handle configuration. i find it pretty straightforward and could take it further by scripting my VLAN setup but changes so infrequently i don't mind doing it manually.

You can split the difference with the Proxmox provider for Terraform[1]. The workflow would be:
- provision VMs with Terraform - configure/maintain your VM with something like Ansible
The provider also allows your to schedule LXC if you'd like to target that instead.

> Please be aware that the demos may exhibit significant accessibility issues, such as problems with keyboard navigation, speech synthesis, and progressive enhancement or degradation.
right off the bat, this callout makes it difficult for me to consider these approaches for any serious project.

I got a big chuckle out of this one. Nice work

I believe the parent says exactly that, no?

I like this approach for running multiple services on customer servers/clouds. for my own cloud though, i'll use some orchestrator that makes sense

I've used Pelican and switched to Zola a few years ago. I enjoy being able to generate my site with some plain text files and two easily obtained binaries (zola and tailwindcss).
I find the simpler I keep it, the more likely I'll post.
