Back in 2005, I never would have thought YouTube would be so popular as it is now. But here we are over 15 years later. Teens probably think Facebook is uncool, and apparently they're not all on Instagram "almost constantly" the same way as TikTok. Yet there is YouTube, chugging along, hugely popular for young and old.

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).

iPad -> usb-c-ethernet -> eth0
wifi0 -> internet

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:

ip addr add 192.168.69.1/24 dev eth0

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:

nc -l 8080

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

Curious to see if that all works!

"As part of integration planning, and following an organizational needs assessment, we identified go-forward roles that will be required within the combined company."

Totally devoid of any humanity. Corporate jargon freaks me out. It shouldn't, but it really gets to me.

I don't know about other people, but I find these comments noisy. I'd rather just see replies to the post from actual people.

“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?

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! ;)
