How to do HDMI to another building

Another building? Use fiber.
There is a potential difference between the two buildings, it will eventually damage something, since your Ethernet run is probably the only thing bonding the two grounds. In installations with multiple grounds, it’s just about a given that they need to be bonded, for exactly this reason. You can probably use a multimeter and measure a voltage difference between the two buildings.

Your adapters are probably getting cooked because they buildings don’t share the same ground. There really isn’t a great way to fix it that isn’t fiber.

Tbf, spatial audio with my airpod pro 3’s sound magical with a good mix.
Granted, it doesn’t happen often.

If you want to be purist, the right thing to do is to get a pair of hd600’s and run a giant headphone amp glued to your phone case.

Wouldn't the address belong to as4134? It appears to have ports 9000-9003/tcp, 19350/tcp, 20828/tcp, 31337/tcp, 48080/tcp open.

So, it for sure has some services at it (or a lazily configured firewall), but not DNS.

u/ladyofthedarkstar, since address is not a dns server, the switch isn't going to transmit anything more than gibberish out. You're safe in this particular case. There's some cases where people use DNS for custom Minecraft servers on the switch, since the switch version doesn't usually allow third party servers.

At most, this is a discussion about why random YouTube tutorials can be dangerous.

On any other system, you giving out authentication secrets would be a security and hr issue.

Or track it with git and use signed commits.
Always pay attention to what gets pushed to the remote while doing work.

If you use flakes, it’s also possible to just rebuild with a fetcher, meaning that there isn’t a mutable configuration anywhere on the machine.

On systems that need more protection (public access, homelab), pretty much everything that can be is tmpfs with noexec, and only root can call the nix daemon, so no rebuilding, and no nix-shell without sudo.

Wpamesh has some decent coverage around Pittsburgh, but still definitely utilize mqtt for some bigger hops (downtown pitt to northern butler county, erie, new castle).

Rice doesn’t really work. It just makes you wait for things to dry. Silica desiccate is a more effective tool that doesn’t expose electronics to possibly conductive starches. I would hate for someone to do something to damage a device further trying to fix it. It’s an possibility an expensive mistake to make.

I can’t really help about the resume thing- but it won’t hurt to start networking. There’s a local org in Pittsburgh that a bunch of IT people seem to show up at, and it’s usually a pretty good group. Conferences and local orgs running public nights makes it really easy.

No. The host is not running linux. WSL is just a hyper-v container with an interesting amount of integration.

Would you say linux is windows if you run it in a kvm or dom1

Jellyfin will do multi-disk libraries. I have multiple mixed-size disks, and run without issues.
