Second this.

And I’ll add DietPi is great, easy to run wherever you want. I run it in its own VM on my ESXi box.

Sonofabitch, never thought of adding bacon bits!

Cool shot

That’s about as kind as anyone could be.

Hey, this is pretty good thinking, kind of an artificial limit that at least provides just enough friction so you don’t go off looking everything.

This could be useful for just about anything

And you’d be wrong.

Neither has the better perspective, they’re both part of the experience.

Some movies are just fun watches, some movies are incredibly insightful, some combine both.

Definitely

I’d figure out why RDP stopped working. Sounds like something changed.

Anything else could be stymied by the same things that blocked RDP - firewall change, etc.

I’ve used other tools since before RDP even existed as Citrix Remote Desktop in the 90’s… Frankly for LAN only there’s little reason to consider anything else with Windows boxes unless you want remote management features like services, shares, etc. Even then I often just use RDP because it just works.

Edit: ah, I had it backwards, your server is Linux and your laptop is Windows.

I’d use VNC, or just ssh for most stuff.

Ira not as good as the original, but again, you can’t tell the difference on a 65" TV, especially with old TV shows that are 4:3

I dunno, I’ve never cuddled anyone in public.

May just be a language difference without any underlying meaning.

Looks good!

What cornbread recipe is that, looks like a northern (sweet) variety (not criticising, I like 'em all).

I have none of these problems on Windows.

I control when updates happen, I just ran Microsoft Mappoint 2006 on Windows 10 using a VM, in Unity mode so you don’t even know it’s in a VM. Virtual PC had this same feature 20 years ago. And Windows now ships with Hyper-V on every version, so you don’t even need a separate virtualization app.

These are all problems of people accepting defaults.

Spend as much time tinkering with Windows as you do Linux to run Windows apps and it’s fine.

Windows update never interferes with my work - it updates when I choose to update.

Apple is the worst, by a long shot, for not letting you use old apps for no good reason.

There’s so many ways to skin this cat, you may want to start with identifying the most crucial single failure point that concerns you.

Is it the router? Best you can really do is have good hardware and make sure it and your modem are on a UPS.

If it’s an ISP-provided modem, some enable remote management via a phone app, which can be done from anywhere by signing in to your ISP account.

Aurora isn’t really anti-google as it’s merely a different front end for Play (that you can use anonymously).

Need more calendar options such as mailbox.org.

Good start though!

Hahahahaha, fine, fine, you win

Heart rate is just a number. It’s not a condition,” Dr. Shrestha says. “And it is very dynamic. Some people live with a heart rate of 40 to 50 beats per minute and they don’t have symptoms of any kind and feel perfectly fine. But others with that same heart rate might feel tired, and we need to find ways to elevate their heart rate.”

Just another great example of how most doctors violate a foundation of statistics: you can’t apply population statistics to individuals.

Good on this Yale doc for pointing that out.

Which is weird, because since ~2006 all checks are treated the same as debit card transactions after the first check is processed, since both sides now have full routing info.

What makes it French? (Always down for a new recipe)

None

The fucking date problem I can get behind with you.

I always use year/month/day now, which pisses off everyone but computers sort it properly every time.
