• Where can I find cheap or free vintage computers/parts?

  Ebay probably. Try https://winworldpc.com/home for old software. Source: about 1 year ago

• add this link to the megathread please (has some old games, along with apporiate operlating systems to run them in the first place, e.g ISOs of Windows 95)

  I found a good website, I recommeed it, because there's no viruses, and it's just games and old OSes, I found DOS, which is good for most retro games from the 80's to the 90's https://winworldpc.com, I have gotten working windows 95 floppies, but there's also ISOs as well, sorry for the miss-spellings, but google chrome is crap when it comes to spell-check, which freaking doesn't work.

• I have got to get this computer running for a project, what do I do?

  Https://winworldpc.com/home will have all of the os you need. Source: about 2 years ago

• Was given this for free. So far I know it's an AMD k6-2. Boots and seems to detect an hdd but doesn't load an OS. Research is ongoing.

  A good start would be if you have another computer with a CD writer to get yourself a Windows ISO of your choice from WinWorldPC, burn it and boot that on this awesome machine. Source: over 2 years ago

• Show HN: I built a website to share files and messages without any server

  I've got another one on topic of self-hosted file sharing: - FileBrowser running in Docker (https://filebrowser.org/features) - Syncthing running in another container (https://syncthing.net/) Syncthing keeps the files on your PC, Mac, BSD systems updated, and FileBrowser can point to the share and supply a convenient web UI. It works for me, it's kind of like a local Dropbox-lite. - Source: Hacker News / 2 days ago

• Ask HN: Online File Repository System?

  Depending on what you're looking for, this is the kind of thing that P2P protocols were made for. Check out https://syncthing.net/. - Source: Hacker News / 4 days ago

• Ask HN: Best useful tools that are helpful in your business?

  We use syncthing to share files between our machines. It avoids is having to use dropbox / OneDrive etc. You just choose a folder and it automatically syncs it in the background. https://syncthing.net/. - Source: Hacker News / 27 days ago

• LocalSend: Open-source, cross-platform file sharing to nearby devices

  This very hn entries is bust contradicting your statement. Also what about syncthing[1] (for recurrent/permanent sync) and croc[2] (for one time copies) ? I have used both for a number of years already. [1] https://syncthing.net/ [2] https://github.com/schollz/croc. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• Ask HN: How best to sync a subset of my files with a friend?

  I would use syncthing, which is open source at https://syncthing.net/. After minimal setup, it just works(tm). You have a normal directory in your filesystem, that is synced to the other peers (which you set up in the "minimal setup"). I have been using it for years, and it works well. It has no problems crossing os'es (i.e. Windows -> linux, linux -> mac) For windows I usually recommend - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago
