My carrier is Google Fi — one perk is that they will give you free data-only sims (up to 10 I think?) and you just pay for the data you use like any other data. I have used old Android phones in USB tether mode this way, and it works just fine. So, rpi+old/cheap phone should do the trick.

One fun bonus is that if you tether over USB it will work as a WiFi dongle, too — the failover from WiFi to cell should happen on the phone, transparently iirc. Not sure if that affects you.

Caveat is that I did this a while ago, and their pricing structure may have changed. Finished to be a great deal but has slowly become another carrier with not much to differentiate it…

I wonder if this is width at waterline vs. overall width confusion?

We really need to see info from the BIOS — exact CPU model, RAM speed, etc.

As others have pointed out, this is a pretty anachronistic build — i586 with DDR1 is just weird, so it’s possible there’s some really niche hardware and you may need an exotic kernel (or kernel options) to get anything to boot.

That said: have you just tried running a standard live or install CD from that time period? You could try booting a 2001 Slackware installer to see what happens.

Can you post the CPU info? I think it should be available from the BIOS.

I always thought backwards-compatible FM stereo was pretty cute — transmit L+R channels as before, so they can be picked up and played without trouble with mono equipment, and transmit L-R separately. Just add or subtract to get the L or R channels.

I still use my i5-4670k machine. It has a SATA SSD, only 8GB RAM, but it is a completely zippy machine. Ancient (by today’s standards) 750Ti, but I only rarely use it for old games (Xonotic and Portal2) and it doesn’t break a sweat.

Debian, i3wm, so it ends up being lightweight but that’s my preferred setup regardless of specs.

Don’t believe me? Just google “Trump Stormy Rule 34.”

Disappointed that there was no “Rule 34” reference. I expected more from this community…

I just tried that and got the same result. It’s from a site that just quotes a snippet of an Onion article 🤦

Another option is to remove it and symlink it to a static version of your choosing. I believe NM won’t replace a symlink. You can just remove the symlink when you’re done and it should go back to normal…I think.

Only additional thing I would do would be to try to ssh into it to. Sounds like that wouldn’t have worked anyway. But if you can ssh into it while it’s in a degraded-but-not-completely-borked state you can poke around, troubleshoot, and of course cleanly reboot.

I kinda prefer xargs to the -exec option — just feels more UNIXy to me (do one one job well).

But as another comment said, for grep I just use -r and --include. So clearly I’m not very consistent…

One of the real downsides of ARM is, it seems, the relative lack of standardization. An x64 kernel? It’ll run on most anything from the last ten years at least. And as for boot process, it’s probably one of two options (and in many cases one computer can boot either legacy or EFI).

ARM, on the other hand…my raspberry pi collection does one thing, my Orange Pi does something else, and God help you if you want to try swapping the Orange kernel for the Raspberry (or vice versa)!

I think this is the real question.

Did they quit and join a competitor who offered a better WFH option? Or did they get a taste of the good parts of white collar pandemic life — no commute, flexible hours, work from anywhere — and decide that actually, their entire identity is not just their professional life, and maybe they should retire to see the world/spend time with family?

There are definitely some high profile rage quits over return to office, but I think there are a lot more of the “hey this was fun but time to take care of myself” quits.

Wikipedia page has some explanation.

There’s also this gem:

In October 2016, McDonald’s decided that Ronald McDonald would keep a lower profile as a result of the incidents.

That said, a 16 year old was killed in relation to these incidents, so not completely fun and games.

From article:

Paying people to develop features or fixing bug is fine, but when a huge number of contributors are paid by companies, this lead to poor decisions and conflicts of interest.

I think this depends on the structure of the project though. The Linux kernel has a huge number of corporate contributors, but it seems to be doing ok.

This suggests nginx options to use re: hostname. Unsure of your nginx config…

403 Forbidden doesn’t necessarily mean a bad login attempt. Are you sure that’s the error? My troubleshooting steps would be to access directly (no nginx), and look at the logs for a successful login. Then, look try to login with nginx, and look at those logs (both access.log and error.log on nginx, and any/all logs from syncthing). Find out where the two cases diverge and go from there.

Does syncthing have a domain name specified? If it doesn’t know its domain name it may work from IP directly but not via reverse proxy. Just a hunch.
