I’ll just quote the OpenWRT Wiki here, because I think half the comments here confuse mesh and roaming:

Are you sure you want a mesh?

If you are looking for a solution to enable your user devices to seamlessly roam from one access point to another in your home, you need 802.11r (roaming), not 802.11s.

It is unfortunate that some manufacturers have used the word “Mesh” for marketing purposes to describe their non-standard, closed source, proprietary “roaming” functionality and this causes great confusion to many people when they enter the world of international standards and open source firmware for their network infrastructure.

• The accepted standard for mesh networks is ieee802.11s.
• The accepted standard for fast roaming of user devices is ieee802.11r.

These are two completely unrelated standards.

Repeated surgical corrections for your ever growing earlobes

improperly included GPL code

Shouldn’t that force a GPL release of the rest of the code, at least the bits they had the rights to?

And these days magnet links are everywhere, making it even a little simpler

Don’t bring a truck or guns with you. Change some dollars for euros. Remember that the US has an insane tax system that follows you abroad and you still have to file taxes in the US in addition to the country you live in.

Don’t try to go for both main romance options, the outcome isn’t worth it. Better to do two playthroughs if you really want to know.

Heh clever. Petite mort.

Is it OK to simply dd the 128GB disk to the 32GB disk using count to stop after the 16GB partition was cloned?

I think it would work, but it seems a little overcomplicated, you can just use the partition paths as if and of of dd directly, as long as the output partition is not smaller than the input partition. For example dd if=/dev/sdc1 of=/dev/sdd1 bs=4M status=progress

Your method would also copy the partition table I suppose, which might be something you want under specific circumstances, but then it would be a little harder to get the count right, just taking the size of partition 1 would be wrong, because there is some space before it (where the partition table lives) and dd would start at 0. You’d need to add up the start position and the size of partition 1 instead.

Personally I would prefer making a new partition table on the new eMCC, and create a target partition on it. Then you clone the content of the partition (i.e. the file system). This way the file system UUID will still be the same, and the fstab should still work because these days it usually refers to mounts by filesystem UUID in my experience.

If you make the target partition larger than the source partition, and you intend to use the full partition going forward you will additionally need to resize the filesystem to fit the new larger partition, for example with resize2fs.

In laptops the internal screen is usually attached over embedded Displayport (eDP) could be the same here. “native” doesn’t really say much.

If Qt or Java is doing it, then that’s still your program and not the WM, though?

The server is used for hole punching, to open up a P2P connection thorugh NATs and Firewalls. If it doesn’t work the server also relays the traffic between the clients.

Getting an end to end connection through todays internet is unfortunately not easy for an average user.

Using modern UEFI booting with a 1GB shared ESP and grub2 has worked just fine for me in the last 8 years. os-prober has always just found the Windows install and generated the necessary boot entry for grub. Windows has never trespassed into the Fedora or Ubuntu folder of the ESP as far as I can tell.

A microkernel teaching OS by Andrew S. Tanenbaum.

In 2017 the world (including Tanenbaum) found out that the Intel Management Engine uses Minix internally. Intel just kind of did that silently. So Minix is still around.

nix-darwin is kind of nice too, but only really for CLI tools. You can let nix-darwin manage your homebrew for GUI stuff, if you want.

I’d still take linux if I could though. macOS is just work mandated.

Mine sure doesn’t. I send it to sleep (since you can’t send it directly to hibernate like a normal OS), and the next day the battery is empty and it won’t start. This happens about once a month, and I haven’t found the common variable yet.

Some software uses license servers where each client is supposed to request a seat temporarily. If more people use it at once than seats were licenses they detect that with phone home features. We had that with Matlab I believe, if you tried using it in the most popular time you might not be able to.

It should be treated with “utmost importance”, not with utmost importance. That ending is quite subversive!

I wrote a script to turn the power of the the Wifi+Bluetooth chip off, then enumerate the PCIe bus again to start it back up.

The chip sometimes hung itself when using both. I looked for the bug and even found an Intel engineer on some mailing list admitting that they had issues with coexistance mode.

Just turning the wireless off and back on wasn’t enough I needed to reeinitialize the hardware and that was the best way I knew.
