09:00 - Just FYI problem accessing Wireguard tutorial - Paul

• New Wireguard Tutorial

09:30 - What Router Should I buy? - Nik

• Netgate SG-1100

12:15 IPv4

• Broadcast traffic - sends a packet to everyone, not forwarded by routers
• Broadcast Domain - Any computer that can hear a broadcast packet
• ARP Table - Table that matches switch port to mac address
• Computers also keep ARP Tables - Including Host Name, MAC Address, IP Address
• Rebooting a switch will cause it to rebuild the ARP Table
• Private IP Addresses - IPv4 Addresses set aside for internal networks
• RFC 1918
• NAT - Network Address Translation - Public IP <-> Private IP
• [IP Chicken](ipchicken.com)
• Router typically hands out DNS Server+IP Address+Hostname

30:00 IPv6

• IPv6 packet types
  • Anycast
  • Multicast
  • Link-Local
• IPv6 Anycast - Send out a packet to an IP address, expecting multiple devices to have the same IP Address but only the closest responds
• IPv6 Multicast - Tries to only hit intended IP addresses
• Link-Local - Automatically assigned, non route-able, Required for IPv6
• Unique-Local - Private or Public route-able IP address
• Host bit of IPv6 identifies your device across networks

41:50 Reading IPv6

• First hextet = IANA Assigned prefix
• Second hextet = Your Geographical region
• Third hextet = Your ISP

• Fourth hextet = Your Network

• Leading zeros can be omitted

  This IP:

  FE80:0ED1:0098:000A:0000:0000:0AED

  Can be expressed like this:

  FE80:ED1:98:A::AED

• IPv6 Loopback address
  ::0

48:00 Getting an address

1. Computer sends an icmpv6 packet called a Router Solicitation
2. The router responds with its information (with its Link Local address)
3. Either the router generates an ipv6 based on the requesting computers MAC address OR the computer chooses its own IP address
4. The computer sends a Neighbor Solicitation packet which is basically the computer attempting to ping a device on the network with its IP address to see if its chosen IP already exists

• IPv6 you are on the internet by default unlike IPv4 in most setups

• "Host" bits are based on your MAC address, which can be used for finger printing/tracking

Addressing

Address broken into hextets

Email 1 - Feedback from EP 212 Bluetooth and Drawing Tablet - David

• HSP/HFP designed for phones not computers

• Bluetooth support on Linux is difficult due to the way blue-tooth works (uses modem commands on mobile)

Possible Solutions that bypass Linux blue-tooth stack

Links to the 1Mii USB Bluetooth Adapter for PC

This is Creative's version if you are looking for a more popular brand name.

• XP-PEN came up and they have a driver for Linux. It is a little bit hokey in the sense that their configuration application needs to be running in order for it to work.

• It does not always survive suspend/resume, but it is easy to launch again.

• Their non-display models also have good support for left-hand versus right-hand drawing

• When used as a display, there is no left-hand mode because it relies on dm to configure the display

• We purchased an xp-pen innovator 16 It is a 1080p 15.6 inch matte screen with hardware buttons connected via HDMI and 2 USB ports

Gadget of the Week Playstation 5 Controller

DualSense™ Wireless PS5 Controller

• The DualSense wireless controller for PS5 offers immersive haptic feedback2, dynamic adaptive triggers2 and a built-in microphone, all integrated into an iconic design.

• Feel physically responsive feedback to your in-game actions with dual actuators which replace traditional rumble motors. In your hands, these dynamic vibrations can simulate the feeling of everything from environments to the recoil of different weapons

• Experience varying levels of force and tension as you interact with your in-game gear and environments. From pulling back an increasingly tight bowstring to hitting the brakes on a speeding car, feel physically connected to your on-screen actions.

• Available from Sony for $69.99

• Linux driver support

[From Roderick Colenbrander](roderick.colenbrander@sony.com)

• Supported in linux
  *DualSense in both Bluetooth and USB modes
  *LEDs
  *Touchpad
  *Motion Sensors
  *Rumble

• Not supported yet
  *Adaptive Triggers
  *VCM based Haptics

These features require a large amount of data and complex data structures. It is not clear how to
expose these. The current Evdev and FF frameworks are too limiting. We hope
to have a dialog on how to expose these over time in a generic way.

• Companies are starting to get it - make a good controller, make the code open so everyone can use it, people will buy your controller.

https://www.darktable.org/2020/12/darktable-3-4/

• Best professional photography tools out there

• 5,500 commits in 2020!

• Many of the computationally-intensive image processing algorithms have been updated to be faster and more scaleable when running on the CPU.

• Improved operations to a number of the tools

• Releasing the first version of the new user manual, now split into a separate project named “dtdocs”. We have completely reorganised and rewritten the manual into a more maintainable structure using Markdown. This project has involved new content as well as a significant overhaul of the text, making it much easier to read for native English speakers

• In addition, filmic RGB version 4 now works with OpenCL and highlight reconstruction is now significantly faster with OpenCL-enabled hardware.

• New Module: Color Calibration

• Tone Equalizer Improvements

• Export Print Sizes

• Map View Changes

• The global color picker module UI has been overhauled

• It is now possible to automatically hide the header buttons on processing modules in the darkroom

• Hovering your mouse over the header of a processing module now displays a tool tip providing detailed in-app documentation.

Many users have requested customization of module groups, and now that feature is here! Processing modules in the darkroom can now be assigned to user-defined module groups. This replaces the previous “favorites” group and the “more modules” module with a tool that allows you to create your own module groups and presets based on your work flow.

Email 4 - Bluetooth headphones on Linux Mic Not Working

• A2DP audio out only (high quality)

• HSP audio out and in (low quality)

• Check what protocols are supported by your dongle

• Easiest way to work around this...

  sudo apt-get install blueman

• starting from Pulseaudio v. 11.0, it's possible to automatically switch the profile whenever microphone access is requested by the application, but it's disabled by default.

  Find load-module module-bluetooth-policy line in /etc/pulse/default.pa
  Change it to load-module module-bluetooth-policy auto_switch=2

• You need to reload pulseaudio module after this for the changes to take effect:

  pulseaudio -k
  pulseaudio -D

• Now pulseaudio will switch the device profile to HSP whenever microphone access is requested and change it back to A2DP after stream is closed.
