[08:32] <help_me_boot> Hi all, hoping someone will be able to help me recover my MBR. I dual-boot windows7/Ubuntu and used grub2. I tried to reinstall windows but it gave me an error about the MBR, I booted into a live cd and removed the MBR (overwrote with /dev/zero) I now cannot boot anything... As last resort, I'd like to be able to recover my data off a seperate NTFS partition and start from scratch. I've tried "Boot Repair" but there is no 'r
[08:33] <help_me_boot> I can't seem to be able to see my seperate NTFS partition from the live CD
[09:08] <olly> help_me_boot: all I can suggest is trying a non-region-specific ubuntu channel - there aren't a lot of people here, so the chances someone will know are smaller
[09:22] <G> hads: at the moment, I'm nearly set on an ALIX, glances seem to indicate that there isn't much better in that field, unless I went for a fit-pc, but they seem to well over double the price of an ALIX
[09:30] <help_me_boot> olly: Thanks, I joing #Ubuntu and managed to get some advise, cheers
[09:30] <olly> great
[09:35] <hads> G: ALIX is the cheapest and quite common. There's Soekris but they are more expensive.
[09:36] <hads> There's a few mini-ITX boards around but they aren't normally fanless and often require ATX power rather than a DC jack like the ALIX
[09:36] <G> hads: did Intel rid themselves of their Atom boards that had a DC jack?
[09:37] <hads> There may be another one, they keep discontinuing them though. Most all of those were single Ethernet
[09:38] <hads> On the other hand the ALIX is quite slow, but it depends what you're wanting to do with it
[09:39] <G> ahh yep, basically looking at doing some routing/VPN/network tasks on it
[09:39] <hads> There's this too; https://nicegear.co.nz/routers/ubiquiti-edgerouter-lite/
[09:39] <G> VPN is whats going to kill with the performance
[09:39] <G> ooooh, you've got that one now?
[09:40] <hads> Those are quite cool, I use one for our UFB here.
[09:40] <G> does it do OpenVPN, and whats the DHCP implementation like?

[09:48] <G> hads: I think you've just convinced me :)

[19:36] <hads> G: Interesting point about CSC, thanks for letting me know.
[19:36] <hads> There's new things to think about with websites all the time as browsers keep changing.

[23:05] <G> hads: yeah, tbh CSC isn't as bad as the actual number
