Re: need sd card backup on r-pi-3b
I was just thinking of how waiting for wifi to connect hangs my pis
booting. Times out at 1 minute 20 seconds or so. If the interface
was supposed to be connected to the router to be considered to be up
that could be a problem.
lo is loopback, 127.0.0.1, always points to the machine you're on.
Won't help in this case. Has its uses though. Even windows95 had
traceroute, jeez.
