Troma is terrific. Also, did someone mention “Blood Sucking Freaks”? No? Good, no one should mention that.

Taking tea with the parson, of course.

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.

SUPPLIES!

You can use UTM on an M1 or up Macbook and iOS/iPadOS:

It is not VirtualBox yet, but it is moving fast. And thank $deity it’s not Oracle… like VirtualBox

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.

Not always, I’m generally not a big fan of remakes/reboots. But give me new stories, give me black, brown, red, white, rainbow coloured, give me orange… No wait, scratch that last one, orange men can go right fuck themselves.

It’s so funny that this post was only a bit below this one: Google Wants To Start Tracking 300 Million iPhone Users Within 5 Years

The 18+ department will explode, and I’m not even joking.

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).
Vivek is (y)our friend: https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/setting-up-an-network-interfaces-file/

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?

PonyOS is not […] a Hurd .

Damn right. No one is a Hurd. I’ll be dead & buried long before that thing enters alpha status.
