Hello Again:  I unfortunately will be unable to attend the meeting today.  I did some research on my post earlier and have been doing research on my question(s).  Can anyone confirm if Linode has been rebranded?  

I think the solution if anyone else is interested is to use a VPS and deploy Nginx on it.  Then it is a matter of building your Vite React app and uploading to your VPS.  Perhaps I figure this out and present it sometime if anyone is interested.

Have a great meeting and sorry that I cannot make it.  Next time!



Kind Regards,

John Michael Needham

I'm surprised I didn't know this meeting was scheduled already, but I'll be there.  I've also got a laptop for sale if anyone's interested.

HP Pavilion x360 that I just got back from HP service.  I sent it in to get all new plastics right before its warranty expired :-)  It's an all-in-one notebook/tablet with 10 finger multi touch sensitive screen + stylus input, fingerprint reader, accelerometer for automatic screen rotation in tablet mode, and a full number pad, ALL working in Debian Linux.  I've enjoyed it a lot but I need something more compact now.  Could also use something with a GPU, though that's directly in opposition....

Model: 15 ER1152-NR  CPU: 1235U   Ram: 8GB ddr4   NVME: 512

It comes with one extra rubber foot piece (if you open it up to swap nvme or RAM, you'll likely want it) and three chargers, the original box, PDFs of the service and maintenance manual, and the original disk image if you want it.  (It also can charge via 19v USB C PD!)

HP installed a new battery, & motherboard in 2025, and new plastics last week.  It was $700 new.  And I can vouch for Linux support and help you tweak your install if it's not Debian to make it fully detect. 

If I can't get $350 from it to put toward the next one, I'll just upgrade the RAM myself and use this one for another couple of years now that the chassis is refreshed.  There's nothing wrong with it but before I spend time to migrate back from my loaner laptop to the refurbished one I thought I'd throw it out there.  I'll put it on FB Marketplace probably too.
