@Massick Depends on how you define "it's working." 😛
The test did work. But the network, not, can't find a path to google dns servers (the quad 8 ip string).
On my case, I got a blip in service, and ping was a good tool to diagnose - what is wrong, where.
With cable modem, router, wired network segment leading to wireless access point upstairs, then wireless link to my machine here, lots of possible points of failure.
Ah, plus remote VPN service too.
First step, plugged net cable into rj45, then ping. Fail as shown mid screen in my test.
Some more tinkering and I got it back as shown on the lower part, success on ping quad 8. Yey. 🎆
All while annoyed for being disconnected from various simultaneous conversations. LOL. All good now.

@design_RG two things:
1. my photo+toot was #nerdcasm
2. #4thworld pronlems
I got (possibly) the more unstable ethernet connection in the world. My tabs show (randomly) loaded and unloaded images/icons
Can't work like this
@Massick Oh, man, I am sorry to hear that. 😔
Difficult indeed.
Are you able to ping the Net at large from your site?
@Massick Oh, and I noticed you are on Friendica from your profile link. Got an account there, same instance.
@design_RG yes, I have an account, but I'm not capable of make it work... i mean...I can't even find people there... I'm just waiting for someone to notice me (like you did) #foolpeoplerights #randomtag
@Massick LOL, I will look for you when I visit there next.
Went looking to learn and tried out, it's interesting, but I am busy with various projects now. So it's on #backburner mode.
https://nerdica.de is cool
@design_RG I'm on nerdica.net
I haven't spent many time there due to my lack of stability. I'm now on my work laptop, but if this crash (like it has been doing all morning), I can keep from my #DeltaChat , so #mastodon is my closest friend right now
@Massick I hope it doesn't act up on you. You are still in the island, right?
We have so much gear and stuff here that people are givign it away for free to thrift stores, etc.
Home wifi routers, printers, lcd monitors, even laptops. You can get great business class machines. off lease, for a low price. That's the kind of machines I like.
Got spares I could donate, maybe in the island schools could use older hardware that here in CA nobody wants - and often is perfectly functional.
I know there is a programme for recycling bicycles from here, shipping them there, and it's great. I hate to see them go to the dump, so sad.
@Massick I picked up 3 Dell rack servers, couldn't resist the low price.
Dual Xeons, hot swap drives, 4 GB of ram and many open slots for more. For $30 CAD each?
Load them up.
@design_RG
A lot of Android fragmentation examples come from #cuba, it isn't weird find an Android Gingerbread phone on any family. I was using a Kit Kat one (4.4.2) a year ago...
I can't remember what does this got to do with your toot but I swear I got a reason... I just can't remember it
@Massick It is relevant, there is a lot of functional technology that is being trashed by comsumption and bloated software.
I have two tablets - one has Gingerbread, a cyanogenMod port developed by a XDA friend.
The other is an HP touchpad, which still has it's original webOS (I love that system!) and also dual boots into Kit Kat cyanogenMod by J Rollins, also a capable XDA developer.
Both are nice, good hardware, beutiful screens.
Many newer apps won't install, requiring higher android versions, but they should be kept and enjoyed as long as they are funtional and have good apps installed.
