I was looking to use InteractiveHtmlBom plugin for KiCad but unfortunately, Debian maintainers did not set KICAD_SCRIPTING
option in the official package. After a few failing attempts I even tested the official flatpak package but it is an old version (currently 4.x) and scripting is not enabled too.
So I dug further until it actually succeeds to compile :-)
There are a lot of pages stating that the Thinkpad T440p fingerprint sensor is
not working well under Linux, but those are old and outdated. For me it worked

WireGuard is a new VPN software, which is
described as
It aims to be faster, simpler, leaner, and more useful than IPSec, while avoiding the massive headache and using state-of-the-art cryptography
.
Pi-hole is a black hole for Internet advertisements

I have Pi-hole on my home network but wanted to have it also as DNS server on my
phone when I am not at home. As I have a bad DSL connection, I can not rely on
my home server. So I put Pi-hole on a VPS server I rent: it works, flawlessly.
Nevertheless, it was an open DNS resolver, which can be used to
amplify DDoS attacks; there is
already 2212 unsecured Pi-hole on
the Internet, so I do not want to add another one.
Pi-hole provides documentation
to use OpenVPN, even to redirect
only DNS requests but
it is not efficient on a phone as it is not a stateless connection, so it
consumes battery; moreover, GSM/Wifi switch is not really handled, you have to
reconnect. The solution comes from WireGuard which is stateless, and provides
Android
& iOS apps. I struggle to configure
everything, so here is what I did:
