  1. I have a firewall rule which bans IPs sending UDP packets for a standard Wireguard port (51820), this activity is deemed port scanning.

    When my server makes a DNS request from that UDP port (it just uses random port every time), upstream DNS was sending responses back to that port, triggering blocking :)

  2. The UK is introducing Offline Safety Act. You must use method and process capable of being highly effective against dying, or face prosecution. Stay tuned for upcoming guidance from the newly formed regulation body, Offcom.

  3. A new, revolutionary, proudly UK-based VPN service is coming up. With it, from anywhere in the world, you CAN NOT SEE any webpage which you CAN SEE on your normal Internet connection. The service will let you reveal unique content exclusive to UK residents! Discover imgur.com/ , uk.lemmy.zip/ and the growing list of safe resources!

  4. Revolting timeline of HMRC not understanding for 2 years how it's possible to apply for HMRC tax filing API access NOT to be a capitalist, but to file taxes for yourself and share code publicly.

    It's pretty fundamental to use of mouse that when you are clicking a mouse button, your hand moves the mouse and this may register in the sensor, causing a drag event to register. The higher quality sensor (high DPI), the more likely this is.

    There used to be a "drag start distance" setting in Linux desktop environments, but now it's missing (specifically Plasma 6 but probably elsewhere too).

    is the backend of mouse handling with , I couldn't find this setting in it.

  6. Who wants to have a USB PC speaker? I think there's nothing like that on the market, am I missing anything? I might design and manufacture one.

    With us - the sunlight,
    With us - blue sky's dome,
    With them - a loudspeaker
    and red delusion.

    We'll go to the woods and mountains,
    We'll leave the city tomorrow.
    Their hearts are motors,
    Their blood is smelly crude oil.

  8. Bus travel is free, as bullshits to us a city bus company Stagecoach which takes 3 GBP for a single 4-miles fare and skips maybe half of scheduled rides.

  9. N pairs of skis were standing leaning against a wall. Kolobok (spherical gingerbread-man type character of Ukrainian folklore) rolled along and bumped the skis. What's the maximum number of pieces Kolobok got cut into by the skis falling on it? (Skis cut along straight planes.)

  10. 20 years with , every time fail to specify exclusions with command in a way that tar would do what I want from the first attempt. Man page and official online html manual do not help.

  11. Dear experts, how can I possibly add a mapping table (device id -> room name) which I could use in queries in a kind of SQL JOIN way?

  12. Wow, that's messed up, expensive trainings about how to be a friend. From a leading expert, no less. But then many people in in my opinion are actually messed up in that they are indifferent to human beings around them and can't into friendship.

  13. Experts deem hanging shoes ond of the finest artistic architectural features, historical to boot, especially in

  14. Dear geeks with huge I saw at previous ! Would you be kind to make a BOF session or a hallway track on respirators?

    - Why are there no transparent masks (with real health protection) which don't obstruct face?
    - What are the best masks for speakers?
    - Are the cartridge respirators better?
    - Where's the sweet spot between protection and public engagement (not making wearer look like biohazard liquidator or specops)
    - When open hardware respirators, produced at hackerspaces?

  15. I knew Ikea Lack table fits perfectly for rackable network equipment, but today I saw a 3d printer housing made of these tables. Cool!

    I was looking for combinations of Ikea and Euro Containers.

  16. Having True Color support in terminal is amazing.

    Delta the diff pager with syntax highlighting, is amazing.

    Evolving FOSS in these dark times is a miracle and a blessing. Thanks to everyone involved.

  17. @RichiH

    I wish there to be mask selling stall or a vending machine at . Maybe at t-shirt point, or at the cafe, or both...

    This should really increase the amount of people wearing masks :) I am trying to buy the mentioned foldable Uvex FFP3, in UK, ideally without spending a ton of money on too-big 15-pack, and it's already hard.

    FOSDEM crowd could even sustain a connoisseur mask shop.

  18. @mntmn oh so MNT Reform would also be capable of and more :)

  19. @fwaggle not a serious decision, just the first day of between these two computers. I am used to being able to specify IP/hostname to force certain routes, so I'm going to reconfigure this. The tricky bit is to make on laptop (one of computers in this story) pick the fastest route as I roam (unplug, use wifi, leave home, come back).

  20. I have two computers connected to router with 1Gbit ethernet (eth1).
    I connect the two computers directly with 10Gbit ethernet on second interfaces (eth2).
    I add both interfaces into bridge interfaces on both computers (br0).
    There's no "metric" shown on eth1, eth2, just one on br0.
    The bridge seems to "know" the faster path and routes stuff optimally.
    But how does it know it? ARP?

  21. > What’s the use case that you want a 25Gb nic?

    Oh shut up, you killjoy

  22. With a fan, if you like

  23. Ah, SFP+ modules with SSH and web interface!

  24. All this talk how SFP standard makes network equipment medium-agnostic, yet the network interface itself has a notion of supported link modes and it doesn't list the one I planned to use (10000baseLR/Full). Still waiting for cables delivery, so can't test, I don't know what to make of it but this is upsetting.
    This is Mellanox ConnectX-3 Pro and by that maker's software tools it makes sense that they are part of Nvidia now.

  25. What if we had a BOF session on assembling an ad-hoc network from optical and/or "very fast" stuff like 10Gbps and above...

  26. Shopping for SPF+ home network upgrade. Mood:

  27. Coming from software engineering, I can't stand this legislative practice of lumping tons of disparate things in one body and pushing them through legislature as one. Specifically
    *is* a series of 190+ *PATCHES* to many laws, wrapped into a single text document with chapters and paragraphs. Look at and tell me more about your problems, making you lump together adding powers to breach anyone's data integrity, and updating rules on HAVING SEX WITH A CORPSE.
