Solving Slow WiFi on Linux: Moving Beyond the 2.4GHz Bottleneck

Solving Slow WiFi on Linux: Moving Beyond the 2.4GHz Bottleneck

It’s a common frustration: you have a high-end Linux laptop with a cutting-edge WiFi card , yet your actual internet speeds are stuck in the single digits. Even on a 100 Mbps or faster fiber connection, the experience can feel sluggish, with web pages hanging and file transfers taking ages. When this happens, many users immediately blame the drivers, but the culprit is often much more fundamental: the physical radio band you are connected to.

Evaluating AGENTS.md: Are Repository Context Files Actually Helpful?

Evaluating AGENTS.md: Are Repository Context Files Actually Helpful?

Software teams keep adding AI coding agents to their workflow. One popular trend: drop a repo-level context file, often named AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md, to guide the agent. The idea sounds clean. Give the AI a map of the codebase and a few rules, and it should solve tasks faster.

But does it work? A new paper, “Evaluating AGENTS.md: Are Repository-Level Context Files Helpful for Coding Agents?” , says no. The results push back hard on the default advice.

FLUX 2 Max Local Inference: ComfyUI, 32B Parameters, 24GB VRAM

Setting up FLUX 2 Max locally in 2026 is significantly more streamlined than previous years, but because the “Max” variant is a massive 32B+ parameter model, your hardware remains the biggest hurdle.

Here is the step-by-step guide to getting it running.

Small HD Camera (1080p/720p) Light Indicators

This guide covers common light patterns and operations for generic Chinese mini cameras (like SQ11, SQ8, SQ12) that use a single LED with multiple colors. For full-scale surveillance setups rather than pocket recorders, explore local AI security camera solutions.

Target the Triggering Entity in Home Assistant

Target the Triggering Entity in Home Assistant

When you have one automation watching multiple switches, you don’t need to hardcode which one to turn off. You can use the trigger object to dynamically target whichever device started the automation.

Automate Linux Desktop Setup with Ansible and Dotfiles

Automate Linux Desktop Setup with Ansible and Dotfiles

If you reinstall Linux more than once a year, your setup process is probably still too manual. Most people keep a personal checklist in their head: install packages, copy shell config, fix fonts, reconfigure Git, set up SSH, restore editor plugins, and then spend the next week discovering what they forgot. That works until it does not. A failed SSD, a new laptop, or a distro hop exposes how fragile the workflow is.
