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.

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.

Hahahahaha, fine, fine, you win

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.

Its all cherry picking.

That probe died because of a lack of oversight. If they didn’t have a proper system verifications in place for something that obvious and simple, wtf else is NASA cowboyin’ up, Shuttle Solid Rocket Seals? Oh, yea, they did that one already. Or pure oxygen crew cabin and a door that takes minutes to open with no emergency release? Oh, yea, did that already.

If I pulled a boner like not having multiple external validations of some math I need to do, my team would laugh me out of the room when shit broke. I’d probably get a nickname for such an amateur thing.

That wasn’t because of unit conversions, that was a major failure of systems management.

I say this as someone in IT where we have multiple other involved people verifying work we do. Mistakes happen, so you have external validations. I’m not even permitted to touch the systems for which I’m responsible - I have to document changes, with extensive lab testing that is vetted by someone who’s never seen these systems.

NASA should be shamed for dropping the ball so badly.

Are those are the only two cases you can come up with, compared to the trillions it would take to convert, and the billions of errors that would occur with trying to convert now.

Just look at a single machine shop, that’s using lathes from 1945 (because that’s all they need for accuracy). Should they upgrade their lathes to new ones with metric indicators? How much steel is it going to take, coal, aluminum, energy just to transport the lathe to that one shop.

Then all their tools. The world doesn’t have the manufacturing capability just to make measurement tools for all the industries that would need it.

And then you’d still have the conversion problem between one business and the next during the decade’s long transition. How many conversion mistakes do you think would happen then?

You people who scream about this all the time have never had to even look at what it would take. You act like it’s a simple problem.

This is merely ROI, it doesn’t capture things like watching what you want.

I started from needing a server for mobile devices to sync to, music, general file storage, and some virtual machines for testing stuff.

That put me at about 1TB. I already had a bunch of DVDs that I wanted to watch more conveniently, so I just upped the storage and started converting my own stuff.

So my setup isn’t just for media/replacing subscriptions - that a knock on effect.

Still this is a nice calculator for me to better visualize what things actually cost.

Well it’s a pretty good start (and I do agree with you on using the appropriate terminology). I’ve had to look at it differently and use it with the ideas in my head being misrepresented on screen. Still the idea is great.

Sounds like you’d be a great co-conspirator for OP to really make this project exceptional.

You can choose language top right

Is that actually from Trek?

Oh, for sure, and Escape is kind of perfect for it - polar opposite of what she’s doing.

Curious, have you tested rebuilding using this approach?

It makes sense to me, if the compose files are up-to-date, it should just work.

I’d only be concerned about ensuring I capture changes made to the container that happened after initial build.
