tfw ath10k doesn't support management frame protection :(

wait... @bert_hubert you're the author of "Linux Advanced Routing & Traffic Control HOWTO" (lartc.org) ?

Thank you!
It's been immensely useful on multiple occasions.

@lanodan
is it for the monitor?

@lanodan bring back thinkpad x220 bottom connector challenge 2025 (impossible)

@lanodan
tbh I kinda like the screw-in ones... on fixed equipment. Not on laptops.

Is it just me, or is USB-C an incredibly infuriating connector?

It always feels like the socket is about to break off, and the latch that keeps the plug all the way in is very inconsistent between plugs, so some plugs just barely sit in, and will lose one or more lanes with the slightest movement...

@lanodan so it went smoother than I thought.

@lanodan to be specific:

I asked if I can have multiple wifi networks (guest, IoT, etc) with the router they gave me.

They said that router doesn't have that option.

Then I asked them if I can connect my own router to their router and have multiple WiFi networks on that.

They told me I can't do that, I'd need to have an ONT.

If they told me I could do that I'd explain how it doesn't work.

If they told me there's no way to do it, I'd say that it works with $otherISP.

@lanodan
I was afraid they'd say "we don't usually offer that" or sth.

So I made sure to start with a legit usecase and then propose solutions that are not an ONT, so that they can tell me it won't work, until they have one option left.

And having an ONT means I can get the whole /56 delegated to my router without going through the ISP-provided router, which has broken DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation.

huh, apparently if you start with "how do I make multiple wifi" they'll naturally tell you to cancel the subscription, get a new one, and tell the technician you want a stand-alone ONT

How do you talk to ISP tech support to get them to drop their script and actually think, and/or forward your email to someone who can help you?

Are they legally forbidden from admitting they have bugs?

Or like, even getting them to say "yes, it's a bug on our side, we don't have the resources to fix it" would be better than the "it's none if our problem" I'm getting atm..

@mr64bit
Nice.

If you were to some day replace std::io with some other IO library that has a different error type, would that change your API?
@phnt @ignaloidas @lanodan

@mr64bit
is adding another variant to an enum you return a backwards-compatible change?
@phnt @ignaloidas @lanodan

@lanodan @phnt @ignaloidas
ok, so if SDL were to get an fs::error when trying to open a wayland socket, how would it turn that into sdl::no_display?

@lanodan @phnt @ignaloidas
so in which line does the snipped you posted propagate an error from `fs` to the snippet's caller?
