I know this is very late but the term you're looking for is "Access Point" often abbreviated as AP.
"Mesh access point" search should come up with the right products, probably mostly UniFi. You can also roll your own with some second hand routers, if they support mesh like Asus AiMesh or via custom firmware like OpenWRT. But that requires a bit of skill/learning and time.
TLDR: Why do so many routers support >1Gbit/s on their WiFi while only having 1Gbit/s ethernet interfaces? So, I've been upgrading parts of my home setup and have a router (without AP) that has 2.5G interfaces. My PC also has a 2.5G interface, but that only going to the router is kinda useless (the ISP offers 1G). The place my PC is at is also a good position for an AP. So, I went looking for a cheap second hand wifi router and stumbled upon quite a few that were boasting >1G connection speeds, not only AX but also AC. Now I know this is often a combined theoretical Max, but still a lot offer >1G for the single band. The vast majority of these routers, though, have 1G Ethernet ports. Putting that between my PC and router reduces that linkspeed and I can't actually reach over 1G for the WiFi devices as well. Why would you sell a product like that. Undoubtedly those radio's were more expensive but their in a package that can't fully utilize them. I can think of some reasons: marketing, radio's are mostly not fully utilized anyways, helps with latency, maybe? Does anyone know why it's done like this?

Certainly not an expert here but the GUI "being there" means you can configure something about the traffic flowing through, maybe VLANs or QoS. That also might be why some switches have fans. Deciding what packet has priority or is allowed is a bit more computationally complex (read: heat generating) than just pushing a packet to the right address.
You might want a VLAN if you have a server connected to the same switch as your PC, but they shouldn't "see" each other. If you didn't have a VLAN there, your router or firewall can't manage anything about the connection. Say you have a website and database on your server and only the website should be accessible by your computer, you'd be able to configure that with the firewall.

Yep, I really hope a future will become reality where Adobe has some competition and/or an incentive to port the suite to Linux. I just can't help but cheer on the sounds against Stockholm syndrome. So much of these "it doesn't work on Linux" is just the company intentionally trying to prohibit integration with open systems (looking at you HDMI forum). In the end I agree, though, when giving advice, it's best not to assume the "only gaming" use case.

From my experience it's still a common misconception and I think it's the largest potential group that can switch. Sucks that your usecase is unsupported, though. Just out of interest, what software can you still not run?

Another Many-to-many example within this usecase would be "subscriptions". Users can subscribe to multiple channels and channels can have multiple users subscribed to them. You would use another relational table that stores the channel_id & user_id, with uniqueness for both together, since "being subscribed to one specific channel multiple times" doesn't make sense and perhaps put a column to store "hitting the bell" in there too.

Thanks, that was an interesting read! I always felt IPFS wasn't ready yet, but the value it tries to provide of being a file system, I've found no real alternative to. Very good to read that iroh is willing to look beyond the IPFS spec to provide its values with better performance. I hope it works out.

I think some more info is necessary on the DNS configuration. You've made an AAAA type record pointing to the ipv6 address of the server (not the router)?

Been running Wayland for 5 years on my development laptop (sway, Intel GPU, blacklisted the nvidia gpu). At the start I've had a couple of issues, nothing too bad. Haven't had any issues for over 2 years. Switched to Linux on my gaming PC about a year ago, KDE plasma on Wayland but do most of my gaming from a steam gamescope session. Very happy overall with Wayland, glad it exists. Sharp text on a fractionally scaled display for reading code was just too compelling at the time and it only improved.

Good to mention that (in the Netherlands) when you've provided fingerprints for a new identification card, the fingerprints are wiped from any system after you've received the card, remaining only on the card itself.

Oh interesting & unfortunate. I can confirm I use one display, running it on my TV. I must say, big picture on my desktop session gets closer to the experience than when I initially set this up. I hope they add the quick settings overlay to the normal big picture mode some time. I might switch back to running on my desktop session.

I haven't had the issue with the menu, never had as far as I remember. It might be because of the way you set up the session. If you try installing the aur package I linked and start that session, the menu hopefully just works as it did for me.

I'm using this package: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gamescope-session-steam-git Looking at the source here: https://github.com/ChimeraOS/gamescope-session-steam/blob/main/usr/bin/steamos-session-select
You can see it looks for a script to shutdown steam or defaults to normal shutdown.
I pointed os-session-select
to a script that restarts my sddm service, before shutting down steam, so it returns me into the default session. It was a bit finicky though and I hacked a systemd service into it to ensure the script didn't get killed.
Hope this helps. Might clean it up some time and put it in a repository/on the aur.
EDIT: I was inspired by ChimeraOS; it uses that os-session-select
for its main project as well to return to the gnome desktop.

It seems like ChatGPT can write, but from what I've understood about the technology it always sounded more like it was taught to "speak". Not with sounds obviously, but the sentences are build without necessarily knowing all characters that make it up, like children do with speech before learning to write.
I'm not a researcher on the topic, so I could've interpreted something wrong. I'd like to see Cunningham's law proven right, if I did!

I would look into a library that does manipulation of odt (or docx). Code whatever algorithm you need to do the restructuring. Now your left with an in memory representation of the document that you can hopefully figure out how many pages it spans, or save it to a temporary file.
All depends really on how feature rich the odt libraries are and/or how deep you want to dive into the spec.
I feel like this is an XY problem. Is there an underlying issue your trying to resolve?

Interestingly, as ChatGPT might be trained on these ELI5 questions and as a result they are asked more infrequently, it might get worse over time or out of date on these types of questions by its own doing. I especially wonder how bad this influence will get on subjects that you'd normally search stackoverflow for.
I recently reinstalled RL after not playing for 2 years, running Linux for my gaming pc these days. Almost every time I open up steam, there's a multi gigabyte rocket league update. Is that normal? Can I play without updating every time?

I wonder if internally the emoji's are added through a different mechanism that doesn't pick up the original request. E.g. another LLM thread that has the instruction "Is this apologetic? If it is, answer with exactly one emoji." After this emoji has been forcefully added, the LLM thread that got the original request is trying to reason why the emoji would be there, resulting in more apologies and trolling behaviour.

Apparently my setup, running the steam deck UI for gaming on my TV, is registering as an actual steam deck. Also unfortunate that the non steam games don't count, but hopefully next year this will be all purple/blue.
TLDR; Does anyone know if there's an initiative to use the pdf rendering engines built into most browsers and used while printing a web page in more flexible ways? Ideally from javascript being able to get the pdf as a [File](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/File). I've been looking into download as pdf functionality we implemented at work. It's for a single project, relatively small, so we implemented it with [html2pdf.js](https://www.npmjs.com/package/html2pdf.js). There seems to be no better way than rendering the webpage as canvas and saving as an image inside PDF. Although I'm thankful that the project exists, with the lack of text selection, poor image quality and/or large file sizes, it feels bad serving it to the customer. Then I started to look into the printed version and I loved it. Learned some new stuff about css, being able to break a page before a specific element. Tables automatically repeat their header across a page break. I can also save this as pdf, better quality, 40x reduction in file size, yay! However, web api to start this is `print()`, no arguments, no alternatives. Putting this behind a "Download" buttons seems confusing for the end user. I'm amazed we can't use this built in pdf rendering engine in more flexible ways. (See TLDR for question)
