Wireguard Optimal MTU

About

  • I faced bandwidth issues between a WG Peer and a WG server. Download bandwidth when downloading from WG Server to WG peer was reduced significantly and upload bandwidth was practically non existent.
  • I found a few reddit posts that said that we need to choose the right MTU. So I wrote a script to find an optimal MTU.
  • Ideally I would have liked to have run all possible MTU configurations for both WG Server and WG Peer but for simplicity I choose to fix the WG Server to the original 1420 MTU and tried all MTUs from 1280 to 1500 for the WG Peer.

Testing

  • On WG server, I started an iperf3 server
  • On WG peer, I wrote a script that does the following:
    • wg-quick down wg0
  • Edit MTU in the /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf file

Recovering the BIOS password from a Panasonic CF-U1 mk2 (AMI Aptio UEFI)

Recovering the BIOS password from a Panasonic CF-U1 mk2 (AMI Aptio UEFI)

A mess of my own making

While messing with a CF-U1 handheld PC that I bought off ebay I managed to mess up the BIOS and it seems it reverted to previous settings which included an unknown BIOS password, it would however still boot into windows. Since I could still boot windows I was able to dump the bios flash using AFUWINGUI.EXE the version I used was 3.09.03.1462 which is available here:

DaVinci Resolve Scripting API Doc v20.3
Last Updated: 7 Oct 2025
-------------------------
In this package, you will find a brief introduction to the Scripting API for DaVinci Resolve Studio. Apart from this README.txt file, this package contains folders containing the basic import
modules for scripting access (DaVinciResolve.py) and some representative examples.
From v16.2.0 onwards, the nodeIndex parameters accepted by SetLUT() and SetCDL() are 1-based instead of 0-based, i.e. 1 <= nodeIndex <= total number of nodes.
Overview
--------
As with Blackmagic Fusion scripts, user scripts written in Lua and Python programming languages are supported. By default, scripts can be invoked from the Console window in the Fusion page,

Linux on MacBook Pro Late 2016 and Mid 2017 (with Touchbar)

Introduction

This is about documenting getting Linux running on the late 2016 and mid 2017 MPB's; the focus is mostly on the MacBookPro13,3 and MacBookPro14,3 (15inch models), but I try to make it relevant and provide information for MacBookPro13,1, MacBookPro13,2, MacBookPro14,1, and MacBookPro14,2 (13inch models) too. I'm currently using Fedora 27, but most the things should be valid for other recent distros even if the details differ. The kernel version is 4.14.x (after latest update).

The state of linux on the MBP (with particular focus on MacBookPro13,2) is also being tracked on https://github.com/Dunedan/mbp-2016-linux . And for Ubuntu users there are a couple tutorials (here and here) focused on that distro and the MacBook.

Note: For those who have followed these instructions ealier, and in particular for those who have had problems with the custom DSDT, modifying the DSDT is not necessary anymore - se
