I’m a robotics researcher. My interests include cybersecurity, repeatable & reproducible research, as well as open source robotics and rust programing.
Looks like Moonlight does have their app up on the Apple store or iOS, and Sunlight has binaries for most operating systems. Personally, instead of Sunlight’s server, I still use Nvidia’s GeForce Experience software to stream games, as it takes less effort to configure. Of course, Nvidia may not be applicable if you’re using integrated or AMD graphics instead.
Although, with Nvidia recently deprecating support for it’s shield device, Sunlight provides support for the same protocol that Moonlight was originally developed against, but it’s also open source. I’ve not used multi monitor streaming with GeForce Experience, something Sunlight would be much more flexible in configuring.
As for connectivity, I’m unsure if iOS supports the same USB network feature that Android has. I’d imagine at least the iPhone would, as that’s a core feature/option for mobile hotspot connectivity, but maybe that’s nixed from iPad iOS? Alternatively you could get yourself a USB C hub or dock with an ethernet adapter and pass through power delivery, so you can connect your iPad with a wired network and charge simultaneously.
Or you could just use Wi-Fi, but with wireless networks dropping and retrying packets, that’ll impact latency or bitrate quality when casting displays. Although for something mostly static like discord windows, that’s probably less of an issue. Windows 11, and maybe 10, also have a hotspot mode, where you could share your wired network via your PCs wireless radio via and ad hoc Wi-Fi SSID. That could reduce latency and improve signal reception, but you’d have to start the hotspot setting every session or whenever the device disconnects from windows’ hotspot for more than 15 minutes or something.
You could try other remote display streaming software as well, like Parsec. However they have a online account login requirement with the freemium model, so I prefer the open source client Moonlight instead. However parsecs a lot easier too use when streaming from outside your home, or when remotely single screen co-oping with friends, without having to configure firewalls or domain names.
If you already have a similarly sized tablet, you could just buy a dummy HDMI plug, a few dollars, to add a second virtual desktop and then simply cast that screen to the mobile device.
There are pretty nice Android tablets now with 2.5k 120 hz HDR OLD screens. You can just connect it directly to the computer via USB, enable USB network tethering, then use something like the Moonlight client app with Sunshine screen casting server. With the wired connection, and a high bit rate such as 150 Mbps, you can get single digit millisecond latency and hardly tell the difference from an native HDMI display.
Tablets like those might be on the high end, but at least you’d have nice secondary display that’s a bit more multifunctional. Or just go with a cheaper LCD based tablet or old iPad, if color accuracy, refresh rate, or resolution isn’t a priority.
Like a file tree view with respect to the context directory? Could be nice if it color coded the file by matching with the respective .dockerignore file as well. I’m always second guessing if I edited the ignore file correctly just after running docker build. Not like I can use git CLI to check if the .dockerignore change was interpreted as intended.

What was that device, an early cellular modem or 802.11 wireless bridge? The thing ontop of the briefcase looks like a head visor with an antenna. Google search keywords are just noise.
Call it WebOS or something.
Kind of off topic, but webOS was in fact a thing, but more of mobile OS alternative to android and iOS, first developed by palm, the bought by HP, then sold to LG.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebOS
It had a small but active homebrew community, with the HP touchpad being one of the early tablets on the market with an unlocked bootloader and Linux support.

Woops, yep.
Pro tip: If you check the conical URL (youtube.com) first, the Lemmy web UI will help catch reposts before they are accidentally submitted.
I switched from using the short (e.g youtube.be) or external URL mirrors for that same reason, and just let the bots comment with privacy mirrors for those who prefer. Using the conical URL, aside from cross post detection, also ensures the thumbnail image and preview text get cached consistently.
Windows 11 (and 10?) supports multiple desktops. Only in the shape of a 1xN grid through, like a 1D array. Still handy for multitasking:
Have you tried multiple virtual desktops, or do you prefer to have a single alt-tab stack of windows? I love using a 3x3 grid of desktops, as the special zoning helps me to organize, separate, and spread out my multiple work tasks.
What about a semi transparent terminal window? When I started out learning linux command line interfaces, it helped having the docs just behind my shell session for reference when all I had was a tiny old laptop. But now I don’t bother ricing up my DE anymore. I just want some default window tilling keybindings that work out of the box, and I’m good to go.
Can you imagine the eye strain one would get programming on a translucent screen every day? One where your always having to keep your eyes focused on semi transparent text and graphical interfaces in the foreground, and not the distracting and ever changing background, continuously shifting in parallax as you adjust your head and viewing angle. Not having my display buttressed up against a wall, or having to deal with glare and screen reflections, or even low contrast monitors in general are all things I find infuriating already.
But I guess the Sci-Fi future of ergonomics is holograms. *You must have your migraines, and you must enjoy them.
Could go the other way though. Ask them nicely if they’d be willing to free up their heap of inventory, and if they return you a cart overflow, you know you’ve stumbled upon the ultimate zero day coupon.
Is there a GitHub ticket to track this issue?
The current Lemmy workaround sounds non-optimal.
Not sure there’s anything officially formed just yet, but you could checkout what the former transcribers for r/TranscribersOfReddit are up to:

I’ve recently been looking into using Backblaze with their S3 object storage for hosting Lemmy, but it looks like they also have personal PC backup cloud offerings. Perhaps you could use them to do both?
What is your local system clock; 16 seconds behind your NTP server? That, or OP just has a similarly inverted clock skew.
I guess OP could be posting from the future. Hey @akrz@programming.dev , what is the closing price of SMP 500 tomorrow? :P
You could get a fiber optic display/HDMI cable, a fiber optic USB cable, and the USB hub, then just move the desktop tower into another room and run the cables through the walls or ceilings to your display setup. Might only be $100 or so cheaper than then a used business thin client, but at least you could still do something 4K 120Hz HDR 12bit over some distance without compromise. E.g:
