Don't know if this is applicable to you, @Marv ? Incoming/outgoing requirements are different, apparently...

Chelsea80 :- Thanks for the clarification! If you've got a router, you're laughing. Just connect the XP machine to the router with another standard Ethernet cable - NOT a "crossover"; you won't need one of those - and bingo! there's your LAN. That will be your "local area network&quo...

Chelsea80 :- Um; o-kayyy..... NO network. Right..... Question:- How are you getting online, then? How do you access the forum??? You must have an internet connection of some sort, surely.....or are you doing this on a cellphone/mobile phone? Almost ALL online solutions assume you at least have an i...

Chelsea80 :- I'm assuming these are both on your LAN - local area network - yes? (Not the internet, but your "home" network). Can they both connect to your router? If so, I'd recommend one of two things:- - SimpleHTTPServer - Dukto For SimpleHTTPServer, you set it running on one machine, ...

vektor_alian :- Mm. I came across this one myself! However, I decided against mentioning it in the end, since not everyone wants Java on their system. Wouldn't worry me, personally - I use Java apps quite a lot - but many consider Java to be a security risk.... (*shrug...*) I shall experiment. Mike...

MikeLvG :- From one Mike to another.....greetings! Okay. Friendly-Fossa64, huh? Well, Wiz57 is quite right. Quickpet was one of PhilB's personal 'trademarks' for his Puppies.....a quick'n'easy way to access popular apps'n'programs from the dedicated repo put together for that particular Puppy. This...

Localsend-portable64 For anyone that's interested, here's a 'portable' build of Localsend:- https://www.mediafire.com/folder/158v430pokfvu/Localsend-portable The oldest it will work with is Bionicpup64; libayatana-appindicator came from Bionic's repos, and cross-checking with /ubuntu/pool reveals t...

Hello, dev . :welcome: to the "kennels"..! Thinkpads are probably the most versatile machines you can use, apparently. Never run one myself, but every Linux forum reference I've ever seen always has glowing recommendations for these machines. So; that shouldn't be an issue. Geeks everywher...

Heh. Sorry, guys, but to me it looks very much like a solution looking for a non-existent problem. Dukto has been around for a LONG time. It works well for me. And being out-of-date and unmaintained isn't an issue when you only use it across a LAN..... I know I always say "Choice is a GOOD thin...

@fredx181 :-

Touché, mon ami; touché....

Chelsea80 :- The trouble is that tech is a very fast-moving landscape. As soon as new tech appears - whether hardware or software - there's a hard-core of individuals out there who immediately find ways to convert it / compromise it for malicious uses. So this is why it makes sense, really, to alwa...

Chelsea80 :- It boils down to one thing. Everybody else in the Linux eco-sphere has decided this is the way to go (once again, meekly following RedHat's decision). Because of this, in a few years time, you won't be able to download one piece of open-source software from anywhere that isn't written ...

Yes I agree that we are not singled out. Part of it is faulty program code in the Bots that seem to get hung up like the Knowledge AI Bot which only works with http: and will just begin to open thousands of page requests repeatedly without moving on to another target. Yah. And that's an issue that ...

Back to normal again, here. My thoughts on the matter are NOT that we were singled out on purpose, more that we were simply latched-onto purely at random.......just to see what would come of it. I don't really sense any malicious intent aimed specifically at this community; I just can't see a small,...

For info: Both download links from @PipzDex above work for me (without being logged in). Yes, they work fine for me, logged-in or not. Wiz57 :- Now I'm in a better mood (the sciatica is giving me hell this morning; makes me short-tempered, I'm afraid :lol: ), I doubt bigpup was having a go at me pe...

fredx181 :- Never had any problems accessing your stuff, Fred.....whether I'm logged-in or not. Might be a geographical thing, why bigpup is having issues. I really couldn't say. I do know he's not the first to mention it, which is partly why I started utilising the other two cloud a/cs more... (*s...

Yup; have to agree. I've never seen it this bad before. And it's ONLY the Puppy Forum. Every other site is loading fine.....

Average of 45-60 seconds PER page.

bigpup :- (Deleted violated terms of this forum) I don't use the Google drive very much these days anyway. It's now mostly older stuff, that not many people want any longer. I MAY need to start deleting stuff in any case, because I haven't got a lot of free space left there now. (deleted) I've star...

vtpup :- Well, it's good to hear you're happy with it. Don't thank me, however; the real work here was done by mmtrt , who built the AppImage.......and ultimately, of course, the boys & girls at Wine HQ who have been some real 'busy beavers' this last couple of years. As always, I just try to p...

mouldy :- I don't know about "Big Brother knows best'. It's more a case of the 'ruling elite' of the Linux world have got this bee in their bonnet about needing to log-in to your own system - on your OWN MACHINE, too! - as being the ONLY way anyone should be allowed to run. It's more along the...

Thanks Mike I've installed the 9.3 Wine portable, and really like it! Is it doing what you wanted it to do ? Most of my own Windoze apps are still 32-bit, though I do find the occasional one that insists a 64-bit is available, and to please install that instead. And then it quits on me..... At leas...

vtpup :- You would be better off using one of the current 9-series, Steve. I've put together a 'portable' version of WINE 9.3, and when the 'prefix' is created for these, they have the ability to handle both 32-bit AND 64-bit programs.....due to the inclusion of the SysWOW64 stuff. https://i.postim...

MPXY :- Well, since I'm the offending individual who put this one together(!), I suppose I ought to try and help troubleshoot your problem. Having said as much, however, all I did was to construct an easy-to-use GUI 'wrapper' around a core script that was long since developed by others that do actu...

@peppyy :-

Well, at least you're getting somewhere now. Keep us posted, please; I'll be interested to see what the outcome of all this is!

Mike.

Old computer based on Intel core duo 2. Installed Ubuntu successfully but would fail to boot and drop out into grub. Using DVD live boot in puppy, I Reformatted disk with first 300m as boot with ext4 and the rest a partition with ___ and loaded puppy in the boot area.. Bios does not have option to ...

wizard :- Aye, I agree. Your test results even trump my primary SATA SSD, which regularly hits 500MB/s on read speeds. I wouldn't mind doing something like this with the Lat, but I doubt any of the other components would 'play nice'. And I don't know of anyone that makes such adapters for laptops.....

With earlier versions 11.1 and 11.2 enabling DRM (setting up Widevine) worked, not with the newest version 11.3.2 . Only works if you had enabled DRM on older version already (and updated to 11.3.2) , so that it is installed in the profile folder, not when you start with v11.3.2 "fresh". ...

Does Puppy show desktop drive icons for the drive? Yes, for me it does ok on FossaPup and BookwormPup. (but names are a bit truncated because of the name length, I guess) What name on the icon is given for the drive? For me as "nvme0n1p1" "nvme0n1p2" etc.. (compared with sda1 sd...

wizard :- Added note that some bios will not recognize the adapter as a boot device wizard Now that's what I was wondering about. I had a similar issue, some years ago, before external USB 3.0 HDDs were fully recognised by adapters. I added a PCI-e to USB 3.0 adapter card into ye ancient Compaq des...

Clarity :- Um.....okay. You've lost me. Do me a favour, would you? When you say:- ...RAM was standardized in 2006... ....what do you mean by "standardized" in this context? I'm not much when it comes to software (and Linux in general), but hardware has always been one of my main interests...
