§ Help! The power socket doesn’t work!

If a few of the following apply:

  1. The power socket feels.. fragile.
  2. You’re sitting at a table
  3. You’re trying to charge your device via a ‘small’ phone charger/Mac Charger, and not a bigger Schuko Charger

Then it’s probable that the sockets have been worn out by the slightly bigger Schuko chargers, and you need to use one of them as well.

§ Help! My Wifi doesn’t work!

§ #1: Do you have a Docker installation on your laptop?

-> DB seems to sometimes use one of the IPs the Docker Daemon uses, which results in a conflict, which renders the wifi nonfunctional

  • Possible solution #1: Disable Docker for the Time being
  • Possible solution #2: Make the Docker Daemon use another IP

§ #2: Make the Daemon use another IP

There’s possible solutions here:

All of them coming down to variations of:

  • IPs in 172.18.0.0/16 seem to collide with the DB wifi capitive portal login page
  • You need to tell docker to not use these IPs.
  • There’s a few ways to do that, but the least intrusive one seems to tell docker to use another address pool for its networks.

So, this is what the solution looks like for me on NixOS (probably, I’m gonna try it out the next time I’m on an ICE)

virtualisation.docker.daemon.settings = {
default-address-pools = [
{
base = "172.30.0.0/16";
size = 24;
}
];
};
