Multi-Machine support for Analytics (Research) and Dashboard

[casaout]

Questions to consider:

• Issue: how to synchronize the times between?
• How to move the DB file between machines and keep privacy?
• pa_.dat => place all in the same OneDrive/Dropbox/GDrive folder
• do backup once a day in a temp folder?
• e.g. easiest: just add up all windows activity from remote machine…
• + also merge timeline data (if users are using a VM)
  etc.

Tasks:

• Implement Data Merger for people who use PA on multiple machines
• Implement sync-tool between machines (e.g. shared folder, ONeDrive folder, etc.)

@casaout I will follow this with interest (due to my involvement in @ActivityWatch). Do you know when you will start building it?

@ErikBjare It's still on my todo-list, but I don't think I'll find the time in the next few months, as we have other priorities at the moment… I'll make sure to update my progress here.
