  • I think I need to read up on the fediverse a bit more. Technically it looks like anything in the fediverse at the moment is ActivityPub, even though it supports 3 more protocols. At this point, only Hubzilla uses something other than ActivityPub, even though it also makes use of AP. I was confused because Matrix is also an open protocol and also federated. I had figured everything federated could talk to each other underneath… That’d be the dream, right?







  • Charging your phone through any usb port is fine, fast charging will only work with your supplied charger. USB-C adapts to supply the proper voltage. Beware of underpowering though.

    DP is the best way to connect a high refresh rate monitor as it supports more bandwith. HDMI reserves a part of the bandwith for content protection. If you intend to use a 4k 120Hz monitor HDMI 2.1 is fine, anything higher I’d recommend DP. HDMI cables don’t use the number spec, that’s device dependant. To make it more confusing, 2.0b no longer exists and 2.1 doesn’t necessarily mean the same on any device. Again, only if you need the full spec, for high refresh rate high resolution stuff, you need 2.1. Ultra High Speed HDMI is the best cable for that.

    The ethernet port on the WD19 is 1000 spec, meaning it can do 1Gbps, or 1000Mbps. Cat5E, cat6 cat7 are all fine at handling that. If you intend to shrink the connector on yourself, make sure to pay attention to the order and if you follow correct procedure. Otherwise you might end up with 100Mbps.
