    Cgit has been quite flaky lately. I would suggest changing the URL and fetching the file from Github, Gitlab or one of the other "big" repository mirrors.

    SirDice replied to the thread Fast charging from a laptop.
    No, there's no way to "convert" a non-PD USB socket to a powered one. A standard USB 2.0 port can only deliver about 500 mA @ 5V, USB 3.0 extended this to about ~1A @ 5V. A USB-PD 3.1 port can deliver 5A @ 48V. So, in order to add PD to an...

    I have found that the cable you use has some bearing on whether fast charging works. I have a Baseus 100W GaN charger and fast charge only works when I use a cable with USB-C connectors at either end. A supposed fast charge cable does not work...

    Should I simply assume that this is a routing problem with my provider and has nothing to do with anything in my own setup?

    That is the IP address provided when I run dhclient ue0 after I enable USB tethering on my phone.

    Mine doesn't. Is there any device I can install to provide such a capability? Apologies if this is a dumb question.

    Can anyone explain what is happening when I get a response like that above? I just got something similar after tethering via USB. I don't normally, but wondered what the cause was.

    Fast charging a phone is a mystery to me. Some cables can do it others can't not sure what it depends on. However, is there any way I can get a laptop to fast charge a phone?

    I don't know that answer. I used the default for my zpool (16K) for my W11 VM. NTFS uses a default block size of 4K but can go as high a 2 M. I suppose if you want better performance you should increase the block size. If you want to reduce the...
