Trackpad sluggish when ethernet is connected

When I connect an ethernet cable to my ThinkPad P14s Gen4 AMD depending on what is on the other end of the cable, the trackpad becomes sluggish. When I move the cursor via the trackpad it's kind of "drifting" with movement.

It seems like the STP cable carries some high frequency AC to the ThinkPad. When I touch the metallic plug of the cable, the trackpad is immediately snappy again. If I use an UTP cable it doesn't happen.

I tried to ground the ThinkPad via a USB-C power adapter that has grounding, but it didn't change the situation. Do you think a USB-C travel dock can fix the issue or a female/female ethernet adapter with a short UTP cable?

Directus 12 Licensing: How to handle the 5-activation limit with local dev containers & CI?

I'm upgrading a non-profit project to Directus 12 using an Open Innovation Grant license. Because v12 is heavily restricted by default, I need to use the license during development. According to their docs I should do so:

>For example, an Open Innovation Grant license supports up to 5
activations, intended to cover the distinct environments of a single
project (such as local, dev, staging, and production).

It seems like each time I start the container or a when the e2e tests are running on the CI one activation is used up, even though the NODE_ENV in the dev container is set to development.

I reached out via their licensing contact form but was just brushed off and told to re-read the docs page. Has anyone found a workaround for handling the license limits with ephemeral containers or CI pipelines?

Evolution doesn't show messages after system upgrade (solution included)

Hi

I've just updated my system including webkit2gtk-4.1 (2.52.3-1 -> 2.52.4-1) and fontconfig (2:2.17.1-1 -> 2:2.18.1-1). After that Evolution stopped rendering messages. I observed a /usr/lib/webkit2gtk-4.1process utilizing 100% of a cpu core.

When I investigated a bit further, it seemed like the font cache was not up to date.

`evolution --force-shutdown` and then `fc-cache -r` resolved the issue.

It seems like fontconfig should have updated the cache post install? Anybody know why this happened?-
