What Are You Doing Right Now

@Dashrender GA has only had sunday sales for a handful of years, and it used to be 12:30 (after church). When I used to work in a liquor store, Saturday night was INSANITY. We literally had to lock the doors at 11:45 in order to get everyone out by midnight.
Personally, I love the fact that in places like Nebraska and Iowa you can buy liquor basically anywhere. GA has liquor stores, only beer and wine are available at grocery stores, etc.

@RojoLoco Michigan has beer, wine and liquor everywhere (it's weird), gas stations
In NY (at least in Rochester) you can get beer and maybe wine in your grocer, but liquor you need to go to a liquor store.
There are parts of the area (within 30 minutes) that have Sunday laws for when it's allowed to purchase beer/wine/alcohol before a certain time.
You just go to the next county if you're close enough.

Right, this was my point - I'm not sure why WrCombs was saying NE is strict. We really aren't that bad. Sure it's noon on Sunday instead of 11, or meh - all day, whatever (yes it's dumb to have any restriction at all).

Yes, but drinking at home with your family or whatever is very loose. No oversight at all.

Catching up what's be happening on mangolassi. While waiting for the wife to get out of hydrotherapy.
Also when I get back into work I'm thinking of doing a mini how-to/blog on dual booting a machine with Windows and Linux (Fedora). To log trying to move from a Windows world into open source. Documenting what I use day to day and how to do them in Linux instaed (e.g. Citrix XenApp, Office365)
Good luck. One of the issues I'm running into right now is the VPN and Remote Desktop software. looks like I'll have to figure out / set up WINE. Having a little bit of an issue with the VPN... I just haven't done much about / with it yet. Still have a Windows machine.
But we use RAdmin - which isn't a Linux application. For a lot of my actions, I don't need it... as it's on a Windows box,.. but if I direct connect to the one site, I have to have RAdmin..
A lot of the other things I was using,.. Office, Office 365, Image editing, browsers etc,.. are all cross platform.

Currently working tickets and eating lunch. Already done for the day... Looks like it's about nap o'clock. Though, might check in with my Father in law... Mother in law had her hip replaced yesterday... likely to go home today. See if they need anything

@Dashrender @black3dynamite yeah I hear you on the Windows VM side. The main reason why not is if I run into problems running something in Linux I'll want to boot and work on windows until I get time to work on the Linux side again.
Also last time I tried, it only lasted me a few days maybe a week and went back to windows so I want that option again without a full format and reinstall.
Once I'm happy u can work in Linux and maybe just need a VM for minor things.

So install Linux as the VM - problem solved.

Running dban on a desktop - Like an old car in a used car lot... everything must go.. Two of the three going are nuked to DoD level - the old NTG box will be last as it's the one I use the most other than my laptop... Then it'll be added to the list to go...
Sad to see it all go... but onward and all that whatevers.

Setting up L2TP VPN on Ubuntu to connect to the office. One step closer to being Windowless....

Kinda surprised it's not ZeroTier, unless the point is to learn how to do L2TP in Ubuntu.

After thinking about the feedback on previous post about moving to Linux. Yeah I think to start a Linux VM in Virtual Box to play with different software and test what works.
Then when i'm happy I can swap round and have Linux as the main OS and a Windows VM in that for things that don't work.
*Will be a new year project
