I tried displayport too. My main dell 4k monitor had some issues with it. I updated the firmware maybe it works better now.
I have two monitors. Depending on where I plug in, it uses MST or no mst.
Also good tip about the overheating but the dock has a fan and remains quite cool during operation.
It's difficult to debug since sometimes it works for two days and on other days it hap'ens constantly.
I have had the problem with a variety of cables. I think its a software issue. Wiggeling the cable does not cause any issues. The screen never looses signal its just briefly black.
But I guess it can't hurt to try more cables.
- My docking station. The screen sometimes goes black for a second or two randomly. I have had this problem with all kinds of docking stations.
- My egpu dock. It works great but I have to plug it in after boot or it won't be detected.
- My samsung galaxy S22 (my last sasmung phone). The camera sometimes doesn't work presumably because a ribbon cable inside is loose.
The auto connect for bluethooth is really infuriating. Windows and android both don't have options for disabling auto connect.
On linux you can only select between trust and no tust which effectively means auto connect. BUT WHY DONT THEY JUST CALL IT AUTO CONNECT.
It's a real bummer.
I hate to break it to you but some humans...
I think that may be just a numbers thing. Highly annoying though. And when they crawl over your screen but you can't remove these little flies without risk of squishing them on the monitor.
I love FTL.

The issue is that the web login requires their app. All major banks in my country have this requirement but I will have another look when the time for a new phone comes.
I moved over to mostly open source apps where possible. My main issue will be the banking apps that insist on safety net.
Graphene os is great on paper but I would like to buy a different brand than pixel like fairphone.
The Phillips hue bridge app. They forced online login in the new version for "security". I don't see how connecting to Philipps servers is more secure than local only.

Still loving programming - makes sense.
Still no significant other yet - alright I guess, too bad though.
Many people have very strong opinions about ip while they themselves never benefit from it. If anything they are losing out on better technologies. Many things are patented to prevent someone from beating the status quo. These patent holders often just sit on the patent and don't do anything with it because they are profiting of the established way.

Thanks for the link. I just setup joplin and joplin server.
I migrated all my old samsung notes to joplin.
Sadly I still can't replace OneNote. There is no open source alternative for an infinite canvas with proper custom server based sync that helps to resolve conflicts. Logseq looks pretty good but the server sync implementation is not open source.
I am running local models only for privacy sensitive stuff. If you have ollama you can also setup openwebui and access both local and remote models through the same very nice interface! Also chatgpt API is much cheaper than subscribing.

Also it seems like every one note version is good at some task or has access to formatting/organization options that others can only view.
I wish there was an open source solution in a similar manner to immich (quality and organization) wise.
Runtime Const Generics
Hello,
I was playing around with rust and wondered if I could use const generics for toggling debug code on and off to avoid any runtime cost while still being able to toggle the DEBUG flag during runtime. I came up with a nifty solution that requires a single dynamic dispatch which many programs have anyways. It works by rewriting the vtable. It's a zero cost bool!
Is this technique worth it?
Probably not.
It's funny though.

Using comments as arguments in python.
Python allows programmers to pass additional arguments to functions via comments. Now armed with this knowledge head out and spread it to all code bases.
Feel free to use the code I wrote in your projects.
Link to the source code: https://github.com/raldone01/python_lessons_py/blob/v2.0.0/lesson_0_comments.ipynb
Image transcription:
python
# First we have to import comment_arguments from arglib
# Sadly arglib is not yet a standard library.
from arglib import comment_arguments
def add(*args, **kwargs):
c_args, c_kwargs = comment_arguments()
return sum([int(i) for i in args + c_args])
# Go ahead and change the comments.
# See how they are used as arguments.
result = add() # 1, 2
print(result)
# comment arguments can be combined with normal function arguments
result = add(1, 2) # 3, 4
print(result)
Output:
undefined

Do I need a second domain to run my own authoritative dns server?
I have a static ip (lets say 142.251.208.110).
I own the domain: website.tld
My registrar is godaddy.
If I want to change my nameserver godaddy won't allow me to enter a static ip. It wants a hostname. I observed that many use ns1.website.tld and ns2.website.tld.
I don't understand how this can work because ns1.website.tld would be served by my dns server which is not yet known by others.
Do I need a second domain like domains.tld where I use the registrars dns server for serving ns1.domains.tld which I can then use as the nameserver for website.tld?
I would like to avoid the registrars nameserver and avoid getting a second domain just for dns.
Thank you for your input.
Setting Up a Secure Tunnel Between Two Machines
I have two machines running docker. A (powerful) and B (tiny vps).
All my services are hosted at home on machine A. All dns records point to A. I want to point them to B and implement split horizon dns in my local network to still directly access A. Ideally A is no longer reachable from outside without going over B.
How can I forward requests on machine B to A over a tunnel like wireguard without loosing the source ip addresses?
I tried to get this working by creating two wireguard containers. I think I only need iptable rules on the WG container A but I am not sure. I am a bit confused about the iptable rules needed to get wireguard to properly forward the request through the tunnel.
What are your solutions for such a setup? Is there a better way to do this? I would also be glad for some keywords/existing solutions.
Additional info:
- Ideally I would like to not leave docker.
- Split horizon dns is no problem.
- I have a static ipv6 and ipv4 on both machines.
- I also have spare
