Here is a similar thing in audio monologue:

There are a lot. I have a long playlist called “mope” But the first song that came to mind is:

“Blue Valentine” by Tom Waits. https://youtu.be/wsw0aWXufqM

It seems to me that the preposition usage corresponds to the boarding language pretty closely. Where “on” sounds most natural is also where “boarding” seems most appropriate.

Here is one linguist’s take, with proposed usage cases at the end: http://itre.cis.upenn.edu/~myl/languagelog/archives/005224.html

The schedule/route condition makes a lot of sense to me. Consider a bus converted to personal use as an rv:

“I boarded my bus and drove to the mountains” is a valid English sentence, but it sounds odd to me. But if it’s still a regular bus and drove->rode it works.

“I drove to the mountains in my bus” sounds better. Same vehicle as a city/school bus, different context. Change to a regular bus and drove->rode doesn’t sound right without also changing “in my” to “on the”.

Ah, ok

Do they? I don’t see any nel0x PRs. I moved away from it out of an abundance of caution.

The movie Matewan (1987) is a good look at some of the conditions and events leading up. It’s worth a watch.

Funny, that’s exactly how I used to do it. And I still do if I want cool eggs sooner.

Our eggs may be different (US here, working from refrigerated washed eggs) or I am less lucky. I had mostly success, but sometimes had troublesome eggs and would have a few mangy looking ones where the white sticks to the inside of the shell and water doesn’t change it. Chunks of white pull away. After switching to the Kenji method I have more success than before. Still once in a while I get a stuck shell, but less often.

Peeling can be easy or difficult in part due to the cooking method. Here’s a good write up on tests of various cooking methods to make easier peeling hard boiled eggs: https://www.seriouseats.com/the-secrets-to-peeling-hard-boiled-eggs

You will need to add the hotel address to your eBay account. Otherwise asking a seller to send an item to a different address makes you sound like a scammer.

Most hotels accept guest packages.

So you have a single mobile device connecting via wg, correct? Not a second network?

If so the only configuration you should need on the router are firewall rules to allow forwarding from wg to lan. I am guessing that’s what the second step in the GL-iNet help accomplishes. That’s what I would recommend trying.

If I was doing this on “normal” OpenWRT I would create a firewall zone wg, and allow traffic to/from it and lan.

On the client device you should be good to go without changes if AllowedIPs is set to 0.0.0.0/, ::/0 (sending all traffic through wg).

That rule is supposed to be set on the “server” at the other end of the wg connection, using its own wg address as gateway. Not on the router for the lan you’re trying to access. That seems like a pretty easy mistake to make given that documentation.

You could try a short reset of just the network configuration. Hold reset for like 5 seconds. Might need to do a full reset (10+ seconds) if that doesn’t get you back in.

Great choice. In a similar vein - Rififi.

Knitting is great for everyone. You can make clothing and accessories for you and for gifting. Knit and then felt wool bowls and other household articles. It’s inexpensive to get started with basic yarn to see if you like the activity.

Cool, thanks. I’ll take a look.

I have heard that. Can it be given run conditions, like only on wifi, and respecting the Android battery saving setting?

My phone has an always on split tunnel VPN to home, so the other sync devices are always accessible. Without the Syncthing-Fork run conditions it chews through mobile data and battery.

Same here. It was already a little bit concerning that I was relying on a smaller fork to get syncthing on Android. It was on my to do list to figure out options. Now it’s at the top of the list, and I’m not doing updates for the time being on Android. That’s almost the entirety of my reliance on syncthing - phone to PC sync. I don’t really need it that much for sync between PCs.

You can do it. The main thing to watch out for is correct in and out device names. If you switch them it’s not going to warn you before overwriting the current drive with the emptiness of the new drive!

Also, you’ll need to sudo that command. But lsblk is something you can do as a regular user.

It’s just GRUB for boot on this PC, and that’s how I’m selecting Windows or Linux - in the GRUB menu. This might break if I did a Windows version upgrade, but so far feature updates are not a problem.

I don’t think the placement of the partitions mattered much from a technical standpoint. I just liked the idea of a shared data partition at the end.

But yeah, if you’re thinking about just jumping from the current setup to the 1TB SSD it would be pretty easy to use dd to clone old to new by doing a live boot from USB and having the new drive in an external enclosure (the command would be something like dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=64K status=progress - but double-check which drive id is used for each by comparing the names and sizes with lsblk first). That will copy the current disk contents to the first 256 GB of the new drive and leave the rest as free space. Swap in the new drive and test to be sure it boots to Windows. Then boot using Linux install media of your choice and install to the free space. If you’re not sure about the distro yet, you might want to have a separate /home to make it easier to try other flavors without wiping out your user files.

If anything goes south you’ll have the original drive to swap in and get to Windows.

Running MS Office in Linux will be a headache unless you have a very old full install version (not the current click-to-run tech). I would recommend giving Libre Office apps a try to replace Microsoft Office. I’ve found both Writer and Calc to have great compatibility with Microsoft features, and their UI is very intuitive. I only saw Excel workbooks have problems in Calc where very proprietary features were in use, like online stock quotes through the Microsoft back-end, and things like sparklines. Pretty complex formulas on a very large workbook were no problem. If either of you are using MS Office apps for work then definitely test compatibility before you make the jump. You can test that on Windows since Libre Office works on both Windows and Linux.

Agreed on other recommendations to test with a live environment via USB drive first.

If you decide after that to proceed with a dual boot, I wouldn’t worry as much about Windows breaking it these days. I have a Windows 11 dual boot on a Dell laptop. It has had Debian, Fedora and now openSUSE Tumbleweed as my main OS for some time. I have gone through around 3 years of Windows updates and there haven’t been any problems with that.

In my case I reinstalled Windows 11 first, reducing the size of the Windows system partition. I created a shared NTFS partition at the end of the drive and then installed Linux with / and /home partitions in the middle of the disk.

You could check Disk Management in Windows to see how much you can shrink your system partition. If it gives you enough space that’s worth a try as a first step.

Just throwing out more ideas:

Is there a CPU spike on the VPS?

Anything weird about Wireguard on either end? Using kernel mode WG everywhere and not a user mode version, right?

As a test I would be inclined to try a very small mtu to see if it makes a difference. 1280 is a failsafe that I use when on unknown networks and trying to wg out.

Maybe try with a smaller packet size, like 1KB which I think is -l 1K
