The Future of the Web Is VNC
I use this for retrocomputing, in a way, to be very silly! tenox7's WRP [Web Rendering Proxy] basically runs headless Chrome and renders pages to gif/png/jpg and shoves them back at a client browser.

I just picked up a collection of old Macs. Which should I build a gaming PC out of?
Just like the PowerBook G3 Pismo I have, the iBook uses commonly available 18650 cells, so it's easy to rebuild the battery. With built-in AirPort antennas, you can add an AirPort card and get WiFi (has to be Wireless B though, and sometimes there are issues with encryption so you usually have to run an open access point to connect). Now this is the crazy part, but you can run Web Rendering Proxy on a Raspberry Pi or other, more powerful machine, then use an old browser like Internet Explorer to browse the web. It mostly works, and it's a pretty fun way to get some strange looks in the coffee shop.

Working graphical HTML browser on AXP?
Depending on what you're trying to do, you can use a "vintage" web browser and something like Web Rendering Proxy to make the page work.
- Connect to internet
- A buddy gave me his 2011 MBP to upgrade for him, so I stuck in an SSD and 8gb RAM, and with the help of Opencore Legacy Patcher, I got Ventura running great on it! If you have an old Mac, I would really recommend doing this, they still have a lot of life left in them!

Considerations for a long-running Raspberry Pi
I've been running a bunch of Pi's for years now, and the biggest problem I've had is the Pi itself dying: 24/7 usage is hard on a small device. I've also found that stable power is essential, and to that end I've always used 5v 3a branded power cubes, plugged into a pure sine wave UPS. Choice of micro-SDHC cards is important and I ended up getting ATP industrial cards (https://www.atpinc.com/products/industrial-sd-cards) - expensive but really long-lived. Finally, using RPi-clone (https://github.com/billw2/rpi-clone) on a regular basis has been a life-saver. I clone to Sandisk Extreme micro-SDHCs and can recover from an outage in minutes.

Boot Pi4 from an SSD, not the MicroSD card
I would normally use the Pi SD-Card copier to duplicate the SD-Card to an SSD but I'm unsure if this is available on the Ubuntu image - you could possibly use this program [Github] if you are not keen on using dd with a running system.

Help needed on setting up Pi to boot from SSD
Then you will need to clone the SD to the SSD, you can use many tools that are available from your desktop computer or you can try with rpi-clone, just connect the SSD with Pi booted from SD, stop any possible service/docker to prevent any copy error and run, adapting device naming but usually will be (check device with dmesg):
