I agree about the USB Ethernet dongle. Unless you only require short distance wifi range (eg hotel room temp router) the radio in the pi isn’t going to be enough

I built a pi4 router a few years ago, and it’s still running great, I recommend the project. But unfortunately I can’t find the HOWTO and it was before I started taking good notes. I assume your current router is a phone company supplied modem/router?

My setup is cable modem–>pi router–>switch–> old netgear router in Access point only mode

Being that your router/modem is upstream of router, I’m not sure if you could pass-through the WAN to the pi router, and pass back the LAN to the router/modem for the wifi… maybe someone on here can shed some light?

Your problem may differ from mine, but whenever I’ve been greeted with the command line in grub the solution has actually been in bios. I’ll leave you with my notes, which are a bit snarky after spending a lot of time trying to figure out hot to repair grub, when the solution was 3 clicks in bios:

"Inspiron won’t boot

Goes to the grub command prompt

Don’t fuck with that thing

Restart, F2 to get into bios

Change boot sequence to start the SSD first, not ubuntu

Reboot, itll do it a couple times, but should boot right into normal grub"

I hope your solution is the same

Slaps forehead I know I read that guide too…whether I forgot about it or thought that would do something else… Thank You!

I’m sorry, what?..Oh, all I heard was that my linux home server is going to be running on new hardware in about a year and a half when all these used computers go on sale. 😁

I’ve been pretty happy with paperless-ngx, it should tick all your boxes

Oooh memories, I can’t remember the version number but mandrake 10 must have been close to my first linux distro!! …it.didn’t.go.well.

I’ve spent countless hours over the last couple years, since I left the Googs, trying to find a good alternative for STT. I love that I just bumped into this post and it seems to be the answer I’m looking for. I’ve been playing around with it today and it works pretty great. Thanks OP!

Richmond would be perfect for this

Im otherwise just lurking but now you’ve witnessed two of us on /e/os ;)

I switched to Proton from PIA when I learned of PIAs sketchy new owner Kape Technologies

The proton suite or consider murena.io

Murena is the company behind e/os which is a privacy (from big tech) driven android spin. Whether or not you want to flash your phone with the os, you can use their cloud suite for a few dollars a month. It’s built on nextcloud, has email, calendar, notes, picture and file backup, productivity suite…

Murena isn’t end to end encrypted like proton, so it depends on your threat model I guess
