[draft] Absolute Bare Minimum Keyfile for Falcon BMS [draft]

A one-page-cheat-sheet for pilots absolutely new to Falcon BMS

The BMS-Minimum.key file contains almost 500 keyboard command bindings -- that's way too much to digest, to get started working through the training missions.

Do you really need to memorize hundreds of keyboard commands, to fly the F-16? No. Taxi, takeoff, basic flight and navigation, comms, landing, even employing basic AA and AG weapons -- it's a lot to learn, but most of what you need can be accessed by clicking buttons and switches in the virtual cockpit, when needed.

Learning what those systems are, and how they work, is hard enough in itself -- you shouldn't have to memorize hundreds of arbitrary keyboard bindings that real pilots don't!

Recipe: Persistent Network Configuration in WSL 2 using Hyper-V Virtual Switch

Problem Description

Connecting to services running in WSL 2 from external sources can be challenging due to the instances being on a different network. This guide offers a solution to replace the internal virtual switch of WSL 2 with an external version in Windows 20H2 (WSL 2.0) and configure it for better networking control.

Solution Overview

This recipe uses a Hyper-V virtual switch to bridge the WSL 2 network, providing improved control and visibility of Windows' network adapters within Ubuntu. The configuration supports both dynamic and static IP addressing, eliminating the need for port forwarding and simplifying network setup.

Steps

Enable Hyper-V and Management PowerShell Features:

Install nginx (Homebrew)

brew install nginx

Configuration file for nginx will be at /usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf

Web apps can be stored at /usr/local/var/www

Commands

Start:

.NET Workload Troubleshooting

To install the maui workload, you have two options:

dotnet workload install commands
Visual Studio on Windows can install .msi files for each workload pack. Note that the concept of a "Visual Studio workload" is different than a ".NET workload".

VS for Mac's installer and updater use dotnet workload install commands. It's considerably simpler to get a Mac machine to a clean state.

Use HttpFactory for multiple HttpClients in Blazor WASM

Description

HttpClient Factory pattern allows multiple named http client for various backend. This is a note about how to use it in Blazor WASM (.NET 6).

Short version: Same as in a Web API.

Details

What do Etcd, Consul, and Zookeeper do?

Service Registration:
- Host, port number, and sometimes authentication credentials, protocols, versions numbers, and/or environment details.
Service Discovery:
- Ability for client application to query the central registry to learn of service location.
Consistent and durable general-purpose K/V store across distributed system.
- Some solutions support this better than others.
- Based on Paxos or some derivative (i.e. Raft) algorithm to quickly converge to a consistent state.
Centralized locking can be based on this K/V store.

	# Apple Silicon laptops with firmware > 13.0 have a native charge threshold that does not required any userspace daemon running.
	# This native limit works even when the laptop is sleeping or powered off therefore it is preferable to the userspace daemon.
	# Nonetheless, it only works with fixed thresholds (80% as upper limit and 70% as lower limit).
	# CHWA key is the one used to enable/disable the native limit. 01 = 80% limit, 00 = no limit
	##
