Glad you all are back!

Windows: “I gotchu, fam.”

Does it work well?

AFAIK you don’t have to use it as a router. If you configure all the interfaces to LAN it should just act as a switch/AP combo.

I think OP is referring to NAT hairpinning though.

IME those can be unreliable though, and they’re barely cheaper than Zigbee bulbs

Take a look at Mycroft

That’s how Fairphones have worked since their first model I think? It just means you can replace specific modules if something breaks, rather than having to replace the entire mainboard. They’ve also done a camera upgrade for existing phones in the past that way

WSL or bust

Between 6-10 hours of what?

edit: oh, you mean the xkcd, LOL. Well let me know if it works out for you haha

Some BIOSes have trouble booting anything other than Windows, so some distros default to clobbering the Windows Boot Manager and trying to manage everything from GRUB. It sounds to me like this is what happened to you except it somehow got borked.

If the Windows install is still present on your drive it should be possible to restore the Windows Boot Manager. Then you won’t be able to boot Linux but you’ll at least be able to get into Windows.

Try booting off Windows install media and running Startup Repair using the following instructions: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-client/performance/windows-boot-issues-troubleshooting#method-1-startup-repair-tool

If that doesn’t work try one of these solutions:

Good luck!

S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital InterFace) is an audio interface, perhaps you meant to refer to SPF (the Sender Policy Framework)?

IIRC apt actually does support external media (because back in the day, not everyone had fast internet).

Belgium has them

The code was written for a specific environment and now we are running it in a totally different environment, so what do you expect…

Besides, the goal of the code is basically to keep the swarm alive, it doesn’t really do anything about the health of individual nodes

sad CJK noises

Oof
