@Ron,

when you have the time, review of Michael Horowitz works/websites is sometimes educational and always thought-provoking.

ttps://www.michaelhorowitz.com/

ttps://www.michaelhorowitz.com/second.router.for.wfh.php

regarding cabling, connectors, and physical ports, it is good to establish their correct and complete functioning and connectivity

i have a second-hand laptop that has a damaged ethernet port(sold to me that way, unbeknownst to me...sigh) and it works properly if you jiggle it in a certain way a bit(the poor connection shows as a 100Mbps and after some jiggle it will usually become correct at 1000Mbps).

also i grabbed a random webpage as an example:

as an aside, why are mericans so uptight...twisted knickers et al.

#379 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] Intermittent Network Disconnections » 2024-02-29 09:08:46

@Ron, after briefly reviewing this thread and the previous thread you mention in your OP i wonder exactly which make/model/version(s) of _modem_ and _router(s)_ you have in current operation. without that information further thought is pure conjecture.

“If this turns into a nun’s bar, I’m outta here”

best line from 1992 Sister Act staring Whoopi Goldberg, and it is no small coincidence that the bar scene was filmed at The Black Cat

#386 Re: Installation » upgrade Chimaera with Daedelus? » 2024-02-21 06:42:02

definitely a clean install is best. when i prepare and partition a new hdd/ssd i always reserve several partitions for future newer versions(or completely different operating systems). and they are always there if i need to use them for some temporary purpose. don't forget a bullet-proof back-up plan!

not an answer to your specific question perhaps but still interesting for the larger community

the above claims ceph can use sysvinit or systemd

the below says systemd is required for cephadm

side comment/note:

remember having one of these netbooks years ago(until the magic smoke was released from it by an errant screwdriver blade)

seem to recall in those days that the (u)efi setups were quite buggy and different vendors appeared to purposefully go "off-specification"
