Most common reason is running out of disk space. Boot from USB and have a check as to whether the update filled up the disk

My motherboard which is only a few years old (2ish?) has serial port pin outs.

You don’t need to give the VM network access to download the software if you have a linux host. You can directly mount a virtual box drive from the host, copy the file(s) onto the drive and then unmount it and start the VM as per normal.

Search for qemu-nbd iirc (network block device) - I have the how to details saved on my host (ie not on me) so ping me if you want them. Note it’s a qemu app that works for vbox

Much better

At that age cpu it’s almost certainly a hard drive not ssd.

My guess is 1-2 days. 4gb RAM is going to thrash like hell

Could be worth asking on selfhosted (how do I link a sub on lemmy ?) They probably have more relevant experience at this sort of thing.

Edit

Does this work ?

What is the difference between type 1 & 2 please ?

There’s a simple reason the assets haven’t been seized, we have a legal system in Western Europe. There needs to be a legal basis for seizure of assets and a legal process that allows the on-payment to Ukraine.

It is blatantly fair and just that the assets should be handed to Ukraine, but if we don’t carefully follow our legal principals principles then courts will unfortunately overturn the attempt.

It’s easy to say “Russia has broken international law” it’s a tougher task proving it and working it through the courts then paying those damages to Ukraine. It needs to be done though.

The only alternative to legal judgement and payment via that judgement is for laws mandating the asset seizure to be passed by the governments of the countries where the assets are held.

The problem with that route is many constitutions forbid or severely restrict the ability of a government to seize assets.

Those restrictions are there for a reason, it curbs the ability of nascent dictators (Orban et al) to seize private property on a whim or to punish enemies

TL;DR freezing assets has a clear and well established precedent which thus has been done. Seizing assets however, while ever we have rule of law is rightly constrained

Simless phones can make emergency calls because the towers are configured to accept a request for an emergency call to any device that handshakes sufficiently (in Europe and most of Asia anyway, I assume also true of USA because it does work).

The phone is able to contact the nearest tower and initiate a call because it scans for the nearest towers in the boot process in order to go to the next step (check sim details and connect to configured provider). In the process of determining available towers it provides the IMEI to each of them.

If you live in a country where you have to provide ID to buy a handset then this definitely isn’t anonymous, but even if you are in a country that doesnt, all the manufacturers track where every IMEI is shipped, and sku numbers on POS will easily allow determination of exactly when the device was sold. Even if you paid cash there will be CCTV footage of the purchase.

TL;DR this will work mostly until you make a mistake against corporate tracking but will absolutely not protect you from three-letter-acronyms and law enforcement.

Consider your threat model carefully before relying on it

Popular support rarely changes anything. Money talks to power, people talk to themselves

It’s not unreasonable to be ignorant. Particularly about technology which most don’t understand

Lol. Yeah that was my reaction to the headline as well. “You did what ?”

Https://1ft.io also seems to work and by the branding seems unrelated to 12ft

No it wasn’t. There was never US government dispensation for direct UA military use. The original provisioning was for civilian usage. Starlink is definitely approved for US military, and a blind eye was turned to backend logistics use by UA, but as soon as your equipment is guiding bombs onto targets you’re running straight into ITAR. It’s being used for a weapon and that’s a major no no.

While lvxferre’s instructions are the ideal, there’s a simpler option

Download the mullvad.deb file.

Doubleclick on it from your file manager and it should automatically instsll

Every time you start mullvad it will check if the version is current and prompt you (with a link to click on) to upgrade if it’s not.

Note that works on mint, should work on ubuntu unless they’ve disabled dpkg

There is no process for ejecting a member state.

Hmm, any connection to the “lucky rabbit’s foot” thing, or is tgat a modern invention ?

Or to take it a step further back, try getting someone without context before the modrrn era to understand how groundbreaking Casablanca is. So many tropes were invented in that movie, but watched without that understanding many would say “what’s the big deal ?”

It’s a good movie even now. But it’s a great movie with context
