Exactly; DHCPv6 would allow to force the device to use just a single IP address. In IPv6, you need extra IP addresses for tethering; XLAT464 needs entire /96 prefix. Allowing DHCPv6 would allow network admins cripple functionality like

Windows 10 does not include a license for H.265; you have to purchase it separately[1]. There is a very well hidden, free "from device manufacturer" version[2], so unless you know about it, you have nearby zero chance finding it.

cmd.exe and powershell do not include "terminal emulators". Pre-Windows Terminal, they (and every other console app) use conhost.exe, that comes with the system. Windows Terminal comes with openconsole.exe, that any app can use in

With Quarkus, they went into other extreme -- if you are using docker, to get as fast startup as possible, you have to build your image with your configuration/modules used baked in. Overall, I'm pretty satisfied. There are some b

I'm using Shelly EM at the entry (for the entire phase), relays with PM at some sockets with interesting devices and shelly plugs at some sockets that need to be easily serviceable (think behind kitchen cabinets, for the built-ins).

Getting VLC to output multiple tracks simultaneously (or more correctly, all tracks) is via command line parameters (--sout-all --sout \#display). Mapping the streams to specific devices can be done via clicky GUI in pavucontrol.

Not only development of PA itself. Since the message that PA was here to stay was received, everyone got the point that the only way forward was to fix all the buggy audio drivers. It's no surprise, that it helped. Sure, it sucked for

Basically, how fast you can transfer over wireless is determined by: 1) how effectively you can pack data into a channel, determined by the modulation scheme. In your wifi properties, you can see the modulation scheme used as 'MCS inde

That's interesting, even my father's 200 eur low end Redmi can do it. Not at all times, but quite impressive for a low end.

The "screwing with it" does not take much time. Building the binaries themselves do. Mozilla does it few days in advance, so at the release they can push everything (and the binaries are available on the ftp.mozilla.org day before

What is the overhead of the sandbox you are so worried about? It is just a linux namespace.

You might be using a distribution where .deb file won't help you much. Another reason might be, that you are getting an extra sandbox.

No, they are not from the original vendors... but also the original vendors were not interested in providing flatpaks themselves, so the community stepped in. I have yet to see any volunteer to refuse handing off maintenance of the flatpak

The calculation works only if each customer has their own fiber. Unfortunately for most (consumer) FTTH deployments, that's not the case. Most of them are GPON, where the initial deployment was more effective, as up to 64 of your custo

Not all transceivers are created equal; some need more power (and then dissipate the heat), some are satisfied with less. Some can do only 30m distance, others will run over 80m distance. The Mikrotik ones (S+RJ10) are based on Marvel chip

NTFS was also undocumented, and whatever the ntfs-3g folks or others working on alternate implementation figured out, it was via reverse engineering.
