content: It's the third time that a complete stranger withzero public postshere asks me to pay with "Paypal family and/or friends"!No dice! No posts = no credibility = no Paypal family and/or friendsSorry, it's not for lack of trust "per se", but if I don't know you because you have never written any public post in this forum, thenI want guarantees on the shipment and on the goodsbecause I have already taken several scams that way.So, just avoid to waste your and my time:I won't accept, don't ask.Thanks!

I wonder if Google doesn't retry for the second serverAlso, the Let's Encrypt certificate on their web server (which always lasts only 3 months) expired on June 13, 2020. Doesn't give much hope...

content: It looks like he still maintains his audio business on soekris.dk. You might try there. I remember that website mentioning x86 and vpn cards for a while since his move back to EU, but they all seem gone now.The owner of kd85 (which was the official EU vendor for a while) has moved on to biological farming since 2019, so no luck there.

content: Sad about Soekris embedded PC business closing.Soeren, the owner, is a really nice guy and a super HW engineer. He designed one of the best quality PC Clones (Cortex Computers in DK) ever made. That was well before Soekris. Before that he made a lot of NE2000 compatible network cards and other fun stuff.And I have never seen as many open spec sheets / parts books as when I went to his office (aka time before everything was PDF) - not a surface without an open spec sheet on it with notes on them. And I have never heard him say no to help or teach someone.
