WSL 2 Static IP Address (Windows Host Override)

A crude, but effective solution for hosting local development projects inside WSL 2.

before you start

• node js is required
• ⚠️ this script changes your host file - save a copy of your host file before use

Steps

Clustmart

import Foundation

// Define the file path to save the CSV
let filePath = FileManager.default.homeDirectoryForCurrentUser.appendingPathComponent("bookmarks.csv")

// Create the CSV file if it doesn't exist
if !FileManager.default.fileExists(atPath: filePath.path) {
    FileManager.default.createFile(atPath: filePath.path, contents: nil, attributes: nil)
}

Ubuntu 21.04 VM with GPU acceleration under Hyper-V...?

Modern versions of Windows support GPU paravirtualization in Hyper-V with normal consumer graphics cards. This is used e.g. for graphics acceleration in Windows Sandbox, as well as WSLg. In some cases, it may be useful to create a normal VM with GPU acceleration using this feature, but this is not officially supported. People already figured out how to do it with Windows guests though, so why not do the same with Linux? It should be easy given that WSLg is open source and reasonably well documented, right?

Well... not quite. I managed to get it to run... but not well.

How to do it?

1. Verify driver support

Install TrueNAS SCALE on a partition instead of the full disk

The TrueNAS installer doesn't have a way to use anything less than the full device. This is usually a waste of resources when installing to a modern NVMe which is usually several hundred of GB. TrueNAS SCALE will use only a few GB for its system files so installing to a 16GB partition would be helpful.

The easiest way to solve this is to modify the installer script before starting the installation process.

Setup apcupsd and netdata on Ubuntu

In this document, I will explain how to setup apcupsd on Ubuntu 18.04 and 20.04.

I'll only document USB connected UPS and not the other supported connection modes.

Remove nut

If you have followed my previous gist related to nut, I'd serisouly recommend you to cleanup everything before continuing this gist.

Fast UTM shared directories using Samba

Problem

UTM's shared directory implementation relies on SPICE WebDAV, which is slow.

Solution

Use Samba for faster shared directories. Samba is ~5x faster, see benchmarks at the end.
