I use this. They’re very effective.

Theyre called MoCA adapters

This whole website reads like trash.

Yes there are alot of things on the internet back then. When it was an closed system of trust. But like any system that opens up new people are more then willing to take advantage of trust. Ergo we are in the zero trust era where everyone needs to prove. They are not a malicious actor before they will be listened to.

Well if that doesn’t work I’ll ship an 360kb boot disk to see if that helps. No guarantees it’ll work.

It’s apparent it sees the SD card, but it’s not seeing the MBR on it. I doubt the DOS version is the issue, because it’s not event attempting to boot. Unfortunately there’s no guarantee your 360kb floppy drives are in working order if you don’t know already. I usually recommend a flash floppy but for an machine like this you’re really getting into the weeds with it not being bootable. Try an different SD card, they can be weird, smaller is better. And try writing a different dos bootable image to it.

He doesn’t bring politics into his videos but he knows his shit and contributes enough to the retroscene with Active development.

I appreciate that much of him at least

You had a flat-screen in 1996?

How rich are you?

I always liked Mikrotik. Not the most open of router but the most documented and configurable I’ve seen with a web, gui, ssh, or telnet I’ve seen

What I really want to see is the ability to set a threshold for a server to reach before it will federate.

Example: you have a server, you don’t allow others to federate unless those servers force captcha or approval of user registration

This is a good idea, just be aware you’re going to pay a premium to power an old pc compared to an embedded system

Yes. I just feed it off the /60 my isp gives. Me and I just use my router to segregate the rest. Gotta love Mikrotik. It’s alot easier without dealing with NAT but the ip space calculations need a bit more though

Yes and usually sane developers allow you to specify external mysql instances.

Delving into the politics many view docker as a standalone system that shouldn’t need external items so they leave their db internal. Which goes against having configurations external.

But then you have external databases that you need to know enough to setup ahead of time to allow the docker to use and now I gave myself a headache

Same, I just wish for mod tools.
