I remember buying a tape drive. still have the thing. This is around the early 90s. I used it to back up my BBS system. At the time it was pretty awesome even though I started a backup in spring and it ran until late summer :thumbup: LOL I also had an old 386 server from work that weighed like 45 po...

I havent tried any 64 bit puppies. I have 2 servers , one with a LxPupXenial 16.08, it's been running that since 2016, I think and one with xenialpup 7.5. For what I need, it works fine but I'm always interested in new ideas. Played around with a server called the SSS. I'd love to see a puppy versio...

Thanks for the help. I like the savefolder pet. been using the save folder backup since it was created. I like that it dates the files . I like xenial 7.5, not sure it's the best choice but seems to have a much smaller footprint than others I tried. I was just making use of these obsolete computers ...

I've been using save folders exclusively for 20 years. I set up a server on an old PC using xenialpup 7.5 Thought I'd try using a save file. Questions being, whats the best way to back it up? Can you just copy it like any other file? Also.... can you convert back to a save folder if need be? Thanks

Well, I live right in the middle of America. About to vote for 2 senile old men. One of which is a complete narcissistic clown. Sadly, many people are not familiar with that disorder, or America, it's history, their history, Reagan who? shoes. trading, cards, coins. It makes me sick. He's a brand no...

The ads on computers don't bother me but on the roku app they all off a sudden started showing them for 30 or 40 seconds.
I have since told my doctor about 26 new medications I saw in ads. One had a side effect of sudden death from heart failure and after death, tuberculosis.

Man,..... i just ran apt upgrade on my Devuan Pup and there were zero errors.
I'm not sure what to do with myself. This is "STUNNING"
I may get a cake.

Kali has the best logo. Many of their backgrounds are just wicked! I love puppy but the logo is "cute". lol
Reminds me of high school. Other schools were tigers, bears, wildcats, warriors. Etc.... My school was the "Huskies" and he smiled and wore a mink or something.

I had an issue once with wifi on one of my computers running xenial with a USB wifi stick.
The only thing that allowed me to connect was peasy wifi.

I'm a bit different. I keep a folder in my downloads folder called TRASH. I'm always expanding files to see inside, then I can just drag the folder to the trash folder. it's just quicker and more practical for me. I have a script I run with gtk that deletes everything in the folder plus the default ...
