ipvtap over wifi for libvirt

ipvtap is similar to macvtap, but works over wifi too, since it uses the same mac address as the wifi interface.

libvirt doesn't support ipvtap, so we have to configure everything manually. Important data we need before we start:

• the name of the wifi interface, wlan0 in my case (it's already connected - use NM or networkd+iwd).
• the mac address of the wifi interface (it must be the same in the guest too)

On the host:

A quick and dirty guide to dumping images of your CDs on Linux

https://untrusted.website/@mr_daemon

This roughly describes the process I use to dump my old CDs to image files while attempting to retain as much of the original data as possible.

This covers mostly data cds such as games and software, and has mixed results with some copy protections, even if you dump subchannel data.

1. Download Windows Media Player 11, 64 bit (wmp11-windowsxp-x64-enu.exe):

   $ cd /tmp/
   $ curl -O https://web.archive.org/web/20190512112704/https://download.microsoft.com/download/3/0/8/3080C52C-2517-43DE-BDB4-B7EAFD88F084/wmp11-windowsxp-x64-enu.exe

2. Extract the archive:

   $ cabextract wmp11-windowsxp-x64-enu.exe -d wmp11

3. Run and close the game through Steam. A Proton prefix is created on the first run.
4. Go to the game's folder inside Steam's compatdata folder:

   $ cd $HOME/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/287290

5. Set prefix to Windows XP: $ WINEPREFIX=$PWD/pfx wine winecfg

Intro

This note describes how to connect two networks/devices/VMs over public network using Wireguard with Layer 2 support (ARP, IPv6 link-local, etc).

This can also be achieved using SSH and its "tap" tunnel, however, it does not provide the same level of latency and bandwidth as full-blown VPN such as Wireguard.

In addition, this note describes how to tunnel Wireguard over TCP connection. This may be of use if you encounter firewall in-between so, for instance, you can use TCP port 443 only.
