I've had the opposite problem with laptops. There's like 3 different menus to configure sleep-on-idle but none of them actually let you disable it even if they claim they do. They don't even share the same state and can be se

On KDE and things like opening app on active monitor / desktop work fine. Only complaint is that on older versions, the taskbar on secondary monitors would sometimes disappear. For reference I have 3 monitors (2x 4k, 1x 1080p) and am c

I guess I'm looking for wireguard's version of STUN. And now that I know what to google for, finally found some promising leads. https://github.com/jwhited/wgsd https://www.jordanwhited.com/po

Speaking of Wireguard, my current topology has all peers talking to a single peer that forwards traffic between peers (for hole punching / peers with dynamic ips). But some peers are sometimes on the same LAN (eg phone is sometimes on

I always assumed it was because a lot of ISPs use CGNAT and using tailscale servers for hole punching is (slightly) easier than renting and configuring a VPS.

IME there's two main reasons to keep notes: (1) to save time in the future or (2) to force myself to think about something. (2) often happens after I read fiction, usually to figure out why I liked / disliked the story. These note

I've only recently bought OLED laptops so I can't speak to burn-in but out of the three I've tested, they have a lower minimum brightness than my other IPS laptops. In terms of text clarity, "2k" OLEDs (1920x1200) a

So torrentio provides the metadata and downloads the video on-demand. And stremio handles UI and playback. That's a pretty neat way to keep the storage reqs minimal. This got me thinking if jellyfin could be configured for something si

A lot of functionality is obviously designed for Vercel's hosting platform, with local equivalents as an afterthought.

I think a lot of character-centered conflicts boil down to the same set of problems, regardless of the setting. For instance, you often see "keep the status quo and die a slow death" vs "expensive, risky gamble". Sometim

The way I view it is that the author is trying to explain their mental model, but there's only so much you can fit into prose. It's my responsibility to fill in the missing assumptions / understand why X implies Y. And all th

It's pretty and scratches that scifi itch. I've only read a little of the books but it's supposedly an entirely different story that coincidentally shares character names. In terms of hardness, it probably on par with Expanse
