Audio is a mess. To have low latency in my DAW (Reaper Linux Version), I have to launch it via the command line using pw-jack reaper, otherwise it won’t recognize the audio device or uses ALSA or Pulseaudio both of which have way more latency than JACK

Most modern linux distributions use pipewire, which should have lower latency than ALSA or Pulseaudio, if configured correctly even lower than Jack. You might want to try that instead, especially when updating your linux distro.

Regarding the second error, remote expects to exchange encrypted data, but is configured for plain data, does this happen only for newly sharing folders (i.e., not for existing folders)? If yes, then it looks like you are running into overly aggressive auto-completion by your web browser. See https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing/issues/10341 for details.

In short, in the "Sharing" tab, make sure that there is no password entered.

As far as I understand, the latency is improved by the different speed of light of the DNANF: In conventional fibres, it is limited by the refractive index of glass, reducing the speed of light in it to ~70% of speed of light in vaccum (Wikipedia on this topic). In this new concept, the light travels 45% faster.

I think, the lower loss (lower attenuation) is "just" an enabler for long distances: You can easily have hundreds of km without repeaters – and repeaters for DNANF cables would add latency. If they can get attenuation improved a bit more, they may even be able to cross the Atlantic ocean without repeaters.

As a nice side effect, those DNANF cables have very little dispersion, so you can get rid of compensating for that, which will reduce latency too.

What's wrong with your Fedora installation? Mine doesn't do that (also without a TPM chip)

How good of a conductor wood is depends on its state. If it is very dry and not salty, this should be safe (although he could have taken the piece of wood more at the end to increase the distance between him and the fence and the length=isolation through the piece of wood). If it is wet and salty, it might be dangerous.

Are you sure? Doesn't the "smart edison bulb" design make it harder to dissipate heat to the casing, therefore making the LEDs get hotter compared to PCBs with LEDs surface mounted on them?

Anyway, if you want your light bulbsany technology to last long, don't buy the "smart" variant. "Smart" usually means more components and/or more dependencies on interfaces, and more complexity, so a higher chance to fail.
