Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

ION/ a bit OT but still can be puppyfied...

OrangePi and Arch Linux are working on a distro for said O-pi. First install will be to the O-pi-5 series (5B has wifi/BT)

One other thing will help with all storage devices in or attatched to a computer... a UPS device. Glitches cause failures... especially traditional HDDs, but SSD's and other memory components are NOT immune. I do believe that part of the reason for long life is a UPS.

Here's an example of a link that will not work... generating an error.

https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256804443013221.html

interesting, but shifting the IRQ to a least-used number is just as fast.

I can get to those pages... when I click on an item it will not open to allow purchase.

I have a 15 yr old RIData 16Gb as 'harddrive' in my netbook. Daily backups + updates.

The most important, but most difficult thing to do is CONFIGURE THE BROWSER. Even Firefox needs many changes. You will also need AT LEAST these 3;

uBlock
ClearURLs
CSSexfil

Good luck.

One of 20 wallpapers, plus the slacko-pup defaults in Neutronium-9...

I have a photo of the wood sign indicating that fact.

Actually it still does hold the record for a "straight-line wind". The record breaker is a cyclonic (spiral or tornadic) wind speed lasting 3 seconds. Mt Washington 231mph (6.2km/min) was sustained for 1 minute.

I notice that upon initial boot-up of 7.0-32bit that isolinux.bin is called... then chains to wee --> grub4dos. Any way of using isolinux as supplied to always boot 7.0-32bit? I note the CD/DVD as sr0 has a boot folder, that the usb-installed pup DOES NOT.

appimagehub has 'cutereport v1.3' fairly compact and self-sufficient at 28Mb. (Includes Qt5)

Been hoping for an Orange-pi 4-LTS flavor (RK3599 chip)... Have you seen the prices of the Rasp-pi 4 lately? US$200+ in many instances, and $175 for just the board. O-pi can be had for about 1/2 ($85 to $120).

I've got Slacko7.0-32bit working on an old ASUS eee Atom CPU. FF 78.15 esr runs fine on it. May have to make compromises to "newest/fastest/fattest" browser.

I would also like to add this...

Check the router in the browser's address bar (usually 192.168.x.y) and see if the IP needs a reset. I get a "Secure Negotiation Fail" warning whenever my ISP's copper wire connection goes wonky.

Latest edition of AtomicPup "Neutronium Nine" will be ready before 8PM EST (1AM UT).
See the first post for the details.

IMHO: whats decent about this is that I'll bet a $ vs. coffee that 64-bit kernels are trimming a lot of old stuff. However, a 32-bit kernel should not be adding anything new, and retaining the old for x86-land. ARM OTOH, NEEDS newer 32-bit driver support.

An Orange Pi-4 w/Ubuntu is probably a better spend, including monitor and Acc's. Abt $250-$300 depending upon Monitor.

The OP looks like aa bare naked FF setup. NOT recommended for anything GOOGLE related. At least no autocomplete, no geo, no SSL unless Sha256 or ChaCha, no screensharing. Autocomplete is also disguised as typeaheadfind. I would add uBlock, Clear URL, CSSexfil, and decentraleyes.

Well, IDK... Power requirements are still 5V/3A like all other competitors.
Looks to be a clone of Cortex A-57 x4 as the test comparisons are a bit sneaky.

But of course, the REAL problem is that many users still use the default pswd, or cannot change the router password.
