I sidestepped all this crap by buying Synology in 2014 and upgrading 2 years ago. Sure, it isn’t FOSS, but it is very nearly plug and play.
I configured OpenVPN for when I want to use it remotely, and self host my music, video, and family photos.
Having the 4 drive RAID-6 gives me some security from the danger of losing data between backups.
I store all my scanned documents, ocr’d, and keep the paper under control.
If I went through the work to wipe the partitions, it would doubtlessly have the same effect as turning off wifi in bios. That would have been my next attempt. It’s more work than disa Ling wifi at the bios level.
While many devices don’t have ROMs built for them, any recent device should work with a GSI.
I just bought a tab s8, as I know Andy yan’s LineageOS 20 works on it from other users’ reports. I currently use it on my old tab 10.8 2019.
I have the same experience. People think I’m wacko for caring about this stuff.
Bottom line: you can’t fix stupid, and almost everyone is stupid.
ok, thanks. I’ll check it out, though I solved my problem this time around.
It did not. Whoops - I already answered this :)
This one got me to track down why it never asked for Wi-Fi after I interrupted and restarted the machine. The moment I entered it, the info was saved on the boot partition. Once it tricked me, there was no obvious way out. I turned off Wi-Fi in the BIOS, and that worked.
Neither of these worked. I know now that was because the installer had installed itself on the boot partition with the Wi-Fi info, so I could not go back and force it to continue without a connection. Plus, all addresses I chose it just told me it’s already used, try another.
I just updated my post with resolution thanks you you and others. I had to turn off Wi-Fi at the hardware level.
I’d rather not risk a hacked install if I can. I’ll keep this in my back pocket, though.
Next time, I will use that.
It does not. Once installed, I can “upgrade” by entering my license key. I will write the details as an edit soon.
I installed the most recent installer from microsoft. There’s only one and it covers all the versions.
Earlier today I managed to get it to work by turning off Wi-Fi in BIOS. I’m going to put a brief writeup as an edit to my original message sometime in the next several hours.
I’d rather not be forced to link everything that happens on this installation directly to me.-
That is what I am using, however I had to find a way to open it when I click on a teams meeting link. After I did that, it would not get past the initial splash. I eventually found that I have to hit CTRL-R one to three times to get it to go to the meeting. See, it took lots of searching and head scratching to get it working.
I’m not given the option. I’m going to have to wipe the drive and start over. I will try using Rufus this time.
6-8 is not a choice I am given. The installer for Windows 10 is a “multi-release” package. It contains all the distributions, so I cannot download the “pro” version or the “home” version.
No. It does not like Firefox for Linux.
“a@a.com is already a Microsoft account. Please try a different email address”, so it doesn’t work.
I don’t knowvwhat mtls is, but Joplin has mostvof what you want. It does not have card layout native, but there might be a plugin for that.
