I hope it’s never changed, absolutely fabulous

Best way IMHO is copy all the files to another disk, double check and then format the partition into your favourite filesystem, and copy everything back. NTFS can be a bit of trouble.

Now you’re just insulting actual apes

VBox could be nice, but Oracle is on a licensing hunt for people who install the extension pack on potentially work-related systems. Technically it is free for personal use, but is like explicitly inviting the vampire into your home - nothing might happen, but you wouldn’t know until the moment you have 2 tiny holes in your neck.

Of course. Rules for thee and not for me.

I have seen some start a consultancy, sane job, better pay and strict agreements on presence. There’s probably also a whole heap of companies raking in real talent, motivated and eager to drive the former employer’s business into the ground.

You only have loopback addresses, that won’t work at all. Odd. Unless Ubuntu doesn’t use dhcp. You can try eg “sudo dhclient” or do a manual configuration in the range of your modem (eg ip 192.168.1.2, netmask /24 aka 255.255.255.0, gw 192.168.1.1, dns 9.9.9.9).

Is your IP address 169.254.x.y by any chance? That would mean you can actually “see” the network but have no usable address (169.254.x.y is APIPA, you could say a fallback basically when no dhcp is available). Try “ip addr” on the commandline or “ifconfig” for us oldtimers

• is the wifi adapter recognised?
• do you have an ip address from your router/modem? generally 192.1698.x.y
• what’s the dns server address? see eg https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-linux-bsd-unix-set-dns-nameserver/
• can you ping your router / modem?
• can you pathping/traceroute/tracepath/… the site?
• can you ping/traceroute/… other sites?

That’s probably why development now stops. Nah, I’m being sarcastic, they did good with Anno 1800 and I can understand something new to make money with is needed.

You don’t even need a calculator for a quick calculation, take the closest value of 10: 3x7=21x37 or easier 20x40 = 800 which is close to the actual number, 777.

Tuchus? It is 5AM here and I already learned a new word, thank you kind internet stranger!

Ah yes, I expected as mich but was hoping for something more… intricate?

Nice write up! Though… the sound coning seemingly from someone’s … someone’s what exactly?

The Hurd hasn’t done anything properly in, what, 3 decades? I am actually surprised someone even remembers it.

I am unsure, I feel like Google is watching me and selling my data to OP because I was only yesterday ogling a Thinkpad Yoga X1 precisely for this purpose.
