otl, to linux in Using an iPad as a second monitor (wired)

Time to turn your laptop into a router! Let’s say you’ve got 2 network interfaces on your laptop, eth0 and wifi0. wifi0 is joined to your university WiFi as normal. Connect your iPad to your laptop via ethernet (with a USB-C adapter).


<span style="color:#323232;">iPad -> usb-c-ethernet -> eth0
</span><span style="color:#323232;">wifi0 -> internet
</span>

Rather than setting up a DHCP server or IPv6 stuff, I’d just configure the wired interfaces manually. Let’s use the network 192.168.69.0/24. Laptop will be 192.168.69.1, iPad will be at 192.168.69.2. On the laptop:


<span style="color:#323232;">ip addr add 192.168.69.1/24 dev eth0
</span>

On your iPad, go to Settings -> Ethernet:

  • address: 192.168.69.2
  • subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
  • router: 192.168.69.1

Curious to see if that works. We haven’t set up DNS or DHCP or done any sysctl for IP forwarding or any nftables.

How can we test if it works? We can set up a TCP listener using nc(1) on the laptop that the iPad’s web browser could hit. On the laptop:


<span style="color:#323232;">nc -l 8080
</span>

On your iPad, open Safari and browse to 192.168.69.1:8080

Curious to see if that all works!

otl, to asklemmy in Why do dentists always recommend to brush 2 times for 2-3 minutes?

Ah yeah this hits a nerve for me: the idea that some individuals are the arbiters of medical science and knowledge. Answers to questions like “why should I brush my teeth” is something to be found in a textbook, hopefully at a public library, not to be dispensed out by some individual with fat fees.

otl, to technology in Microsoft AI Image Generator Blocks 'Disney' After Viral Movie Poster Trend

“Reproduction of the Disney logo is clear trademark infringement. I would imagine that is why the AI might be jumbling the logo,” Andrew White, partner at IP law firm Mathys & Squire, tells The Financial Times.

Doesn’t seem clear to me.

I’m allowed to sketch out the Disney logo by hand, right? But I’m not allowed to place their trademark on any of my own products or services.

Microsoft’s tool reproduces the Disney logo. Searching “Disney logo” in Google Images also reproduces the Disney logo. I can print the logo from my shitty black and white printer to my heart’s content, right?

otl, to fediverse in Well looks like a Lemmy comment is making the rounds on Mastodon!

Interesting - will look into Friendica. I just hacked up the latest stable release of Lemmy to run on OpenBSD but it’s not something I think I want to maintain long-term. Looking for something that will last a while, kinda like email but maybe not that long!

otl, to asklemmy in Have you ever done something for yourself on your (job) company's infrastructure?

My colleagues back in the early bitcoin and cryptocurrency days were mining across any spare infra and customer servers they could get their hands on. Back when you could do it with just CPU.

Way to make me feel silly for having both an account on both a Mastodon server and a Lemmy server! ;)

Alpine Linux might be good, too. It’s different. But that makes it a great exercise. See drewdevault.com/…/Praise-for-Alpine-Linux.html

otl, to linux in Query about your linux daily drivers?

I got a T480s for approx. 350USD. Battery life is fine and parts are cheap. Can’t really fault it… I guess the screen could be brighter? Great little machine.
