Interestingly this is exactly why I have to mess with brightness settings from time to time.
Has anyone else noticed the weird interaction between apps turning the brightness to the max and the system’s auto brightness? I’m not an iOS developer, so I don’t know about the relevant APIs. But every time an app changes the brightness to display a QR code, it seems to do so by retrieving the current brightness, turning it to the max, and when it’s done, setting it back to the old value. The problem is that iOS seems to register the brightness change as user initiated, and changes auto brightness behavior. After a few uses, auto brightness will no longer adjust the display to the minimum brightness, even when you’re in complete darkness.
Fixing this used to be easy. Just go to display settings and toggle auto brightness off and on. Then Apple decided to move the toggle under accessibility. Now it’s Accessibility -> Display & Text Size and scroll all the way to the bottom.

I'm new to Ubiquiti routers, but I had no problem dividing the /60 I got from my ISP and assign /64s to VLANs.
You might be interested in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZpJvpm1Ris (title: Does UniFi FINALLY support IPv6 Properly? State of IPv6 with Unifi Network v9). The video is about a year old, but from the looks it's not terribly outdated.

No, having the bare minimum "HDR support" does not mean it works fine. I have a 27-inch 4K 144Hz monitor with P3 wide color gamut and HDR600. This monitor is connected to 2 PCs, one running Arch Linux with GNOME as the DE and one with Windows 11.
Since Windows 11 24H2, with the new color management feature turned on, I can get correct colors on the monitor in both SDR and HDR modes. So it ends up with HDR on at all times, and mpv can play HDR videos with no color or brightness issues.
GNOME, on the other hand, is stuck with sRGB output in SDR mode, so you get oversaturated colors. With HDR on, SDR content will no longer be oversaturated, but if you play HDR videos with mpv, the image looks darkened and wrong. I've tried setting target-peak and target-contrast to match the auto-detected values on Windows, but the video still looks off.

I don't think so. I'm on GNOME 49 and nothing has changed compared to 48.

> Every time I login using a Wayland desktop, only my main monitor is detected and it defaults to 60hz. I have to go through a whole process of unplugging the "undetected" monitors and plugging them back in.
Are you using GNOME? mutter has this problem where it does not retry commit on the next CRTC: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/3833. If this is actually what's happening on your system, switching to KDE should solve it.
> HDR on Wayland is barely functional (in my experience)
This also sounds specific to GNOME, as mutter still doesn't have color management. You'll get a better HDR experience with KDE.

Have you actually contributed to the Go standard library?
Yes, there are people who don't work for Google and can +2 on changes, but you still need 2 Google employees to at least +1 on your change before it can be submitted. This is mentioned in the Contribution Guide [0] and is enforced by Gerrit.
> Finally, to be submitted, a change must have the involvement of two Google employees, either as the uploader of the change or as a reviewer voting at least Code-Review +1. This requirement is for compliance and supply chain security reasons.

Yes. To land a change in the Go standard library, you'll need 2 Google employees to approve your change on their "trusted devices".

I see you use a hard-coded constant ALIGN = 512. Many NVMe drives actually allow you to raise the logical block size to 4096 by re-formatting (nvme-format(1)) the drive.
