Just recently I had a customer complaining about their internet turning off and on and that the LED light was fading away so I automatically assumed it was a bad PoE. I come on site and he tells me well the internet working now. That got me curious and I asked him to show me what he did. He ended up just moving the PoE from on the floor to on top of the router which is on their TV stand and the power supply started working again. So I crouched there for a bit, I swapped the PoE out and I put it on the ground and it turned off. So I put the old PoE back on and traced my hands back towards the outlet and realized that it just fell right out of the receptacle. I basically told him yo replace the receptical and he will get an electrician to do that. Luckily there was another outlet not too far so their internet stays on. I also recomended a UPS cause power out there is not stable. This all came to my mind as I heard Steve's story to check hardware first mentality. Saved my bacon for sure.

The interview that Gardner Bryant did with Kyle from the Bazzite did a good overview of the situation. In all actuality if it came to it, this might be a situation where if 32-bit is important for steam and game preservation, it should be up to Valve to provide a way for this. The steam client already uses containers runtimes for stabilization so this also could apply to 32-bit support. Valve can also maintain there own repository of 32-bit libraries that distributions can pull from instead too. Also 3rd party repositorys are a thing and I wouldn't put it past someone to maintain on for this very reason too. Love ya Noah and Steve!

I'm really interested in what Cannonical has with Private Mobile Networks. Currently, I work with a local ISP that uses mostly Ubiquity AirMax Radios for Internet, but am looking into alternatives. This might be the solution to look into on our end for last mile connections. Plus we already have a few Microwave Connections so understand the licensing process. Thanks for covering this and I will let you know if it pans out on our end. Also hope to see you at LFNW. It always a hoot to talk to you and listen to your IT snanagans.

Hay Noah, with regards to cockpit, I found out recently you don't even need it install just the client. Cockpit-client is available as a flatpak and as long as you have python install on the server and ssh, it will work. Great if you just have webhost VPS and just need to check in on it. Also works with Tailscales SSH as well. Webmin/Virtualmin is another good one but I like small installs. Also I would love if you guys add chapters to your podcast and podping so I know when you go live. Love your show, and it has help me numerous times.
