This was discovered in the [libvirt wiki](https://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Networking#Creating_network_initscripts).
+## NAT configuration
+
+The *default* configuration in libvirtd is a "NAT"
+configuration. That, in turn, injects firewall rules in the kernel
+when the "network" is started, to rewrite packets going in and out of
+the VM. `dnsmasq` is used for DNS and DHCP as well.
+
+I had quite a battle with this network on my laptop,
+[[hardware/angela]]. At first nothing was getting through: IPv6 SLAAC
+configuration was working, but not DHCP. This was hanging the VM which
+led me to switch to systemd-networkd (see [boot time
+optimizations](blog/2022-04-27-sbuild-qemu#boot-time-optimizations)). That didn't fix networking but boot would at least
+not hang for a full minute while DHCP failed.
+
+Then the fix was to add a *subset* of the Puppet module's NFT ruleset,
+through [this commit](https://gitlab.com/anarcat/puppet/-/commit/8c7809480d2ee8014f5e43c333aad0d26223ba9f):
+
+ class { 'nftables::rules::qemu':
+ masquerade => false,
+ }
+
+That created the following patch on the ruleset:

+
+The IP address distributed by dnsmasq also doesn't seem quite correct,
+as it's trying to reach `10.0.2.3` for some reason. I had to do this
+for DNS to work:
+
+ echo nameserver 192.168.122.1 > /etc/resolv.conf
+
+This might be solved by hardcoding a DNS server in `systemd-networkd`
+or elsewhere.
+
+IPv6 is configured by default, so if you're on a IPv4-only network,
+some problems are likely to occur. The fix is to edit the network and
+remove the `<ip>` block for IPv6:
+
+ service libvirtd stop
+ virsh net-destroy default
+ virsh net-edit default
+ virsh net-start default
+ service libvirtd start

+### AnthoLume quick test
+
+I tested AnthoLume briefly, mainly because it is not written in
+C#. It's promising. It can manage EPUB files (and not, e.g. PDFs or
+MOBI files) and can be used to read
+books in a web browser.
+
+I haven't been able to import my existing library and only imported
+[one book](https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/agatha-christie/the-mysterious-affair-at-styles) from [Standard Ebooks](https://standardebooks.org/) as a test. It found the book
+title, author and a one-line summary, but not a proper cover. It did manage
+to find extra metadata online (a longer summary, a cover and ISBN),
+but after quite a few clicks. Each book has to be imported
+individually.
+
+It has a [plugin for KOReader](https://gitea.va.reichard.io/evan/AnthoLume/src/branch/master/client/) that behaves like a [koreader sync
+server](https://github.com/koreader/koreader-sync-server) that the normal [kosync plugin](https://github.com/koreader/koreader/wiki/Progress-sync) uses. Files are stored
+in a flat tree structure, and data is stored in a SQLite database:

+### Kavita quick test
+
+I did the same with Kavita: run the Docker container, open in a web
+browser, etc. That worked a bit better: Kavita could import my
+existing collection. It even did so fairly quickly: it scanned my 700+
+book directory in about 10 minutes, and during that whole time the UI
+was working, visually adding books in real time and showing progress
+information:
+
+ [Kavita] [2023-11-19 03:56:56.280 +00:00 56] [Information] API.Services.Tasks.ScannerService [ScannerService] Finished library scan of 786 files and 682 series in 383606 milliseconds for books
+
+Nice.
+
+It found embedded book covers, titles, authors, overall metadata
+support seems pretty good. It's unclear if it can fetch metadata
+online however, and I suspect a good chunk of the metadata might also
+come from Calibre's OPF files.
+
+Indeed, in the [EPUB documentation](https://wiki.kavitareader.com/en/guides/managing-your-files/ebooks) they explain that:
+
+> Calibre eBook Management software can be used to edit epub metadata
+> to include Series, Volume, and Title so that series with multiple
+> books parse correctly into the same series.
+
+... almost made it. I also believe it fails to detect series from
+Calibre properly: I have a few books where I deliberately and
+painstakingly set that up in Calibre and it didn't work properly in
+Kavita.
+
+The online book reader is excellent. You can modify the orientation,
+font, margins, and supports the table of contents. It supports
+bookmarks which also double as annotations.
+
+At first, all books appear as individual series which is a bit
+maddening. If you can't figure out series, just show me the books, you
+know? The other UX problem I found is that, inside a book, clicking an
+author just brings you back to the main book listing, without
+selecting said author as you might expect.
+
+Naturally, fields like "date added" also do not get carried over from
+Calibre, which is a bit of a shame as that's pretty much the only way
+I can figure out what I'm going to read next nowadays.
+
+It's open core, with something called [Kavita+](https://wiki.kavitareader.com/en/kavita-plus) that adds features
+to paying, monthly, customers. Interesting features like Kobo Progress
+Sync and "Non-Manga Book Support" (?!) are only in the proprietary
+version.
+
+Kavita supports EPUBs, PDFs, "Manga" and "Comics" (which seem to both
+be `.cbz` files and "raw images" (within a folder). It also has
+extensive OPDS and [OPDS-PS](https://anansi-project.github.io/docs/opds-pse/intro) support (originally created by
+Ubooquity). It supports automatic library rescans. More information
+about [features here](https://wiki.kavitareader.com/en).
+
+All in all, quite interesting, but the lack of online metadata support
+is a blocker. The proprietary bits also make me not really interested
+in contributing back to the project.
+
+It did lead me to discover [komga](https://github.com/gotson/komga) as another possible software,
+but that seems focused exclusively on mangas and comics.

+## Underground cross-connect
+
+I need to cross connect a small office outside with the main patch
+panel. This is about 50' of distance, outdoors, preferably
+underground. We'll dig a trench for power and hop in for networking as
+well.
+
+### Copper or optical?
+
+According to [this post](https://networkengineering.stackexchange.com/a/32065/4350) it's definitely worth passing fiber
+through, and I tend to agree: while I used Cat6a wiring inside the
+house because, right now, almost devices use copper connections, it's
+worth having an optical link for a longer distance like this,
+particularly outdoors.
+
+There's multiple warnings about installing surge protectors on both
+ends of a copper circuit, and it seems like a nice idea to just avoid
+that problem altogether. There's also a risk of interference with the
+power run that will follow the network link right along the same
+trench.
+
+Part of the problem is direct burial cable is new cable I need to buy,
+and it's typically 1000' spools, e.g. [340$ at prime cables](https://www.primecables.ca/p-363327-cab-bk-c6sl-4gel-1000ft-4-pair-cat6-550mhz-utp-solid-uv-direct-burial-gel-filled-bulk-cable-black), [250$
+and B/O at monoprice](https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=15398), meanwhile a 60' run is about [60$ at
+cdw.ca](https://www.cdw.ca/product/axiom-lc-lc-multimode-duplex-om4-50-125-fiber-optic-cable-20m-aqua-pa/5214361?pfm=srh) (multimode, see [other prices at cdw.ca](https://www.cdw.ca/category/cables/ethernet-cables/fiber-optic-cables/?w=BD4&ln=0&filter=af_dimensions_weight_length_bd4_bin_ss%3a(%223%7c15+m+-+30+m%22)&SortBy=PriceAsc&instock=1)) or [20$ at lextec](https://lextec.com/shop/fiber-optic-patch-cables-om3-om4-multimode-singlemode/fiber-optic-patch-cables/9u-singlemode/lclc-9u-singlemode/20m-lclc-singlemode-duplex-fiber-patch-cable-9125u/) (single mode!) So while
+that is more expensive, it's not *that* much more expensive, and it
+just gives me what I need instead of a giant spool I don't need. Also,
+I can buy it [by weight at recyborg](https://recyborg.com/shop/art-deco-vintage/materiel-pour-artisanat-et-upcycling/cables-optiques-a-vendre-au-poids/).
+
+Heck, [fs.com has 60' for 15$](https://www.fs.com/products/40205.html), a 1000' run is actually much
+cheaper than copper, at [115$](https://www.fs.com/products/74192.html?attribute=708&id=1786960), although that's for a plain PVC
+jacket, not a burial cable. *That* would still be more expensive, with
+[fs.com quoting 630$](https://www.fs.com/products/70220.html?attribute=34989&id=1027354) for an "industrial cable" that's suitable for
+outdoors use.
+
+What's interesting with fiber is that, fundamentally, you do not
+*need* to bury the darn thing in the first place. It is perfectly fine
+through rain, snow and freeze, as it's not metal! I've seen outdoors
+fiber runs in the middle of the wood, just laid down on the ground,
+often buried under the last leaf fall...
+
+### Direct burial or pipe?
+
+Direct burial seems ill-advised. Multiple reports of water
+*eventually* getting into wires, and the wires *are* much more
+expensive. There are fiber cables designed for burial, but those are
+more expensive as well.
+
+PVC pipes are cheap, let's lay down two lines in the trench, [this
+post](https://old.reddit.com/r/HomeNetworking/comments/gyam7q/fiber_vs_cat6_for_underground_50ft_run/ft9mf7h/) suggests a ¾" PVC pipe, and "Most PVC conduit at home depot
+is rated for this" although [this post](https://diy.stackexchange.com/a/77913/19963) suggests 1" pipes and
+"schedule 80 PVC".
+

+
+I'll also need some [glue](https://www.homedepot.ca/search?q=pvc+glue&filter=43j) not sure how that works.
+
+### Safety warning
+
+Many suggest laying the pipes (or wires) at 16 to 18" deep and lay
+down some other layer, 6" deep, to warn future diggers. Something
+like [this tape](https://www.homedepot.ca/product/norwood-international-red-caution-tape/1000101717) seem designed for this but maybe [this
+narrower](https://www.homedepot.ca/product/empire-3-inch-x-200-ft-danger-tape-in-red/1000836124) less explicit tape might also cut it. Some suggest even
+layout a layer of wood paneling or insulation to make a more robust
+warning. Possible to do both.
+
+### Optical modules and modes
+
+Problem with fiber is we're not in the simple, "standard" RJ-45 jack
+(although there are of course *many* standards, from Cat5 to Cat8,
+they are generally compatible). There's *many* different fiber
+connectors, different cables, and different modules at the end. It's
+kind of a mess.
+
+First off, there are different *module*. The Turris Omnia has a
+"plain" [SFP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_Form-factor_Pluggable) connector, rated at 2.5Gbit, which is probably the
+standard right before SFP+, so that's our target. [According to
+WP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_Form-factor_Pluggable#1_Gbit/s_SFP), those are mostly on [LC connectors](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LC_connector).
+
+Which brings us to connectors. It *seems* like I need a dual (or
+"duplex", one connector per direction) LC connector, so one needs to
+be careful because there are [SC connectors](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SC_connector) out there as well, for
+example [cdw has a couple of cheap LC/SC ones that show up on
+top](https://www.cdw.ca/category/cables/ethernet-cables/fiber-optic-cables/?w=BD4&ln=0&filter=af_dimensions_weight_length_bd4_bin_ss%3a(%223%7c15+m+-+30+m%22)&SortBy=PriceAsc&instock=1). So LC/LC it is, I think. I guess it depends on the other end,
+but then again, I guess I'll just use the same SFP module on both
+ends, so LC/LC. [FS.com has a good explainer on connectors](https://community.fs.com/article/four-types-connectors-of-fiber-optic-patch-cable.html).
+
+Then we "just" need to pick the actual fiber. And *that* is confusing
+as heck. There is [multi-mode fiber](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-mode_optical_fiber) and [single-mode
+fiber](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-mode_optical_fiber). According to [this post](https://networkengineering.stackexchange.com/a/32065/4350):
+
+> The cost of multimode fiber suitable for high bandwidth so greatly
+> exceeds the cost of singlemode equipment at the ends of the fiber
+> that it makes no sense.
+
+It turns out the multimode fiber has the promise of higher bandwidth
+and capacity, but that, presumably, means newer generations of cabling
+incompatible with previous ones. Unclear. [This post from fs.com](https://community.fs.com/article/single-mode-cabling-cost-vs-multimode-cabling-cost.html)
+debunks some of that by showing how much more expensive SMF gets with
+higher speeds. That said, at the bandwidth target I'm going with
+(10Gbit), the cost difference for modules is marginal (7$)
+
+So I guess I'll just go with whatever I find first. The point of
+having PVC pipes, after all, is that the wiring *can* be replaced,
+even though it's kind of hellish, from what I have heard.
+
+One thing that is interesting is that at least some of the [fs.com
+generic SFP modules](https://www.fs.com/products/75335.html?attribute=1464&id=561932) are marked as [compatible with the
+Omnia](https://wiki.turris.cz/en/public/sfp). That device is a tricky one though, because it needs a
+[matching (but reversed!) transceiver](https://www.fs.com/products/75336.html) on the other end! SMF.

+So interestingly, we're failing at the router stage here. Need to

+ * cheap TP-Link router: already available ([[hardware/rosa]])
+ * total: 152.62$
+
+We just have to make sure to keep it possible to pull new wires
+through.
+

+## Mise à jour: de retour à Fizz
+
+Mise à jour, 2023-10-11: je suis revenu à Fizz. Les frais de Fido sont
+simplement trop prohibitifs: pour 42$/mois, j'ai un maigre 1GB de
+données (avec un 3GB extra négocié de peine et de misère). Chaque
+séjour à l'étranger coûte 15$ *par jour*, et j'ai été déjà facturé
+*deux fois* pour un séjour "accidentel" (bien que j'ai désactivé la
+SIM!). J'ai été remboursé les deux fois, mais ça a été laborieux.
+
+Pour 40$/mois (46$ avec taxe et 911), j'ai 8GB de données, appels et
+SMS illimités, Canada et É-U. Les plans internationaux sont plus
+coûteux, mais pas autant que Fido: par exemple, 1GB est 10$ en Europe,
+ce qui est ridiculement cher pour l'europe, mais quand même moins cher
+que Fido. Les SMS sont généralement 4¢ l'unité, ce qui est un peu
+cher, mais peu permettre de passer un portail d'authentification une
+fois mal pris (ce qui m'est arrivé).
+
+L'activation de la carte SIM a été pratiquement immédiate, mais le
+transfert du téléphone prend du temps. Fido a envoyé un message de
+vérification à 22:55, quelques minutes après que l'inscription à Fizz
+soit complétée (à 22:51:17 selon Fizz). Quelques minutes plus tard,
+Fido envoyé un avertissement confirmant la demande de Fizz. Donc
+présumément, la demande a déjà été reçu par Fido, mais pas débloquée
+du côté de Fizz. Après 2h sur le support chat (!), ça a fini par
+débloquer...
+
+L'autre bizarrerie est qu'il est impossible de changer le forfait tant
+que le numéro n'est pas porté. J'ai essayé de prendre un forfait à
+coût réduit avec moins de minutes ("pas illimité") mais la seule façon
+semble être de ne pas prendre de minutes du tout et ajouter le forfait
+après, qui est, d'ailleurs, [beaucoup trop cher](https://fizz.ca/en/add-ons), soit 10$/300
+minutes, soit 25¢/minute!

+## The great 4k dance
+
+I ended up buying two Dell monitors. I first ordered the [Dell 27" 4k
+UHD Monitor S2722QC][] but it couldn't daisy chain with the
+ultra-sharp, so I downgraded to the [Dell 27" 4K UHD Monitor -
+S2721QS][]. Dell had *excellent* support and gave me a return label to
+refund me the other monitor. But unfortunately, the S2722QC only
+supports DP1.2, not DP1.4, which means it's capped at 1080p. So I had
+to return that one as well.
+
+In Dell land, it seems the only option is to get *another* Ultrashap
+monitor, or a [Dell P2723QE](https://www.dell.com/en-ca/shop/dell-27-monitor-p2723qe/apd/210-bdlk/monitors-monitor-accessories) but both of those are pricier than the
+S series *and* ship their full complement of USB-hub, complete with a
+network adapter for the Ultrasharp, which feels overkill.
+
+I'm not sure what to do next. I could just live with a 1080p monitor
+to the right, it's effectively what I had with the LG Flatron.. But 4k
+really *is* nice, and I really like having the right side rotated as
+well.
+
+I'm considering the [Gigabyte M27U](https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/gigabyte/m27u) but it's hard to find: it's not
+available at <https://memoryexpress.com>, Canada Computers, or Best
+Buy. It's [available at B&H](https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1765698-REG/gigabyte_m27u_27_uhd_160hz_kvm.html) however, 530USD. The other option is
+the [LG 27GN95R](https://www.lg.com/ca_en/business/monitors/lg-27gn95r-b) but that's more expensive (800+), at which point I
+would just get another Ultrasharp.
