@Pete-S have you thought of selling it? there is a big market right now for getting rid of old/unused hardware. Especially if you have any SSD's in there.
Thanks, but we're keeping it. Just want to extract the maximum value out of it while it's occupying rack space 🙂
That's why you should launch ssh like this:
ssh [email protected] -t screen -RR
If you don't have a session going it will create one.
If you had a session going but it was interrupted, it will reconnect to it automatically.
@scottalanmiller I have not had to do that before with a normal backup to a .bak and then restore. Not some an place move like it seems you are doing.
Happens if going to a space with a different storage layout. If you are coming from Linux you are probably fine. But Windows injects the drive letter into the path (obviously) and so going from one machine to another that doesn't keep identical storage path names causes the issue.
Go is great as a language. But like Ruby, not installed generally. And fewer resources. If it was a greenfield new OS, yeah, Go for sure. But for practical reasons, Python I think.
As these are systems that I control, there is no reason Go cannot be installed.
Between your comments and prior ones from @stacksofplates I think I might try Go in order to learn it.
You normally wouldn't install it anyway as it's not a scripting language. You'd just compile your binary and ship that to your systems.
I completely misunderstood that about Go. Okay, I will do a bit of checking and decide what I want to do.
oh sorry, I figured you knew. That's why I never look at it, I don't want to deal with binaries in that way. But nothing wrong with that. Write it on your machine at home, compile, ship binary. Works just fine.
As fixed tasks, this is not a bad solution. So I will keep it in mind.
