A random report comparing the input-emulation quality of software kvm switch applications available today.

Uploading and embedding images to github gist a bit weird.
It cannot be done directly on the initial gist creation.
However if you do it on a comment section of a public gist first, you can embed it when creating a new gist.
This gist exists so I can do just that.

Surprisingly doable with the ubiquitous file command:
$ file lossy.webp
lossy.webp: RIFF (little-endian) data, Web/P image, VP8 encoding, 1536x2560, Scaling: [none]x[none], YUV color, decoders should clamp
$ file lossless.webp
lossless.webp: RIFF (little-endian) data, Web/P image
