Thread by @mariusheier on Thread Reader App – USB-A to USB-C. A @cursedconnector ? Or genius?

Cool:  [Wayback/Archive] Thread by @mariusheier on Thread Reader App – USB-A to USB-C. A @cursedconnector ? Or genius?

Image on the right is larger on [Wayback/Archive] Gdn-fwFW4AAao2D.jpg (964×772)

I think it is genius, as it is way shorter than what I found on sites like Amazon, ebay, Aliexpress and others.

For now I am using ones from Amazon that are a tad bit too long (thereby putting too much stress on the USB C output of my laptop), but they are charging only (no video capability): [Wayback/Archive] USB C Female to USB Male Adapter Pack of 3, Type A Power Supply Charger Cable Adapter for iPhone 11 12 13 Pro Max, SE, iPad Mini 6 Air 4 5, Apple Watch iWatch 7, Samsung Galaxy S20 S21 S22 Plus Ultra FE: Amazon.de: Computer & Accessories (image below)

The one Marius posted about is also charging only, but shorter: [Wayback/Archive] 1-10PCS Type-C 3.1 Female to Double-sided USB Am Male Connector 2.0 Charging Version Adapter with PCB Board Inside – AliExpress

Compare with the picture of the Amazon one:

How to send raw network packets in Python with tun/tap

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/02/20

For my link archive: [Wayback/Archive] How to send raw network packets in Python with tun/tap

I never really played around with tun and tap, so this is a nice opportunity to do so. I know they were the base for VPN on Linux, but just now I learned TUN/TAP are not available on nx, but also on Windows. Cool!
