Is it just me or has COVID made YouTube be full of bizarre long format ads for the weirdest high end stuff you never knew anyone would want....

Extreme high end metal sunglasses, socks that can pull you behind a truck, belts made from seatbelt material.... who is buying this worthless crap?

I notice this more on my phone... while I'm driving and can't look away to click the skip button.

Got it.

Me too. Have you played it any?

It seems to be a combination of platformer / Dungeon Defense. I've only played it a little bit, but it seems to be pretty good so far.

First time ever seeing Nexcloud in production some place else... I must say, it's a nice sight...

Going to accept a job offer at Schneider Computer Technologies today, and put my 2 week notice in here. I'll miss the local guys, but won't miss the corporate office where they have issues getting http to https redirect in place as just one small example.

Congratulations! Hopefully this is an improve in pay, environment, or commute time... or some combination of all three!

To test if it is something with Gnome, try a different desktop environment like KDE? That way you don't have to completely wipe and start over.

Have been told 4 times today on cold calls : "It's not the right business move to open up for takeout only at a dine in, bar and grill. it's just not even worth the hassle for you or us. We'll just close for 6 weeks min. and hope for the best. appreciate what you're trying to do."
There's literally nothing I can say to that except : Well, if your boss changes their mind and you're interested. let me know, At the very least take a look at what they are offering , maybe you can save the server who is also a single parent.. from worrying about what her kids going to eat during this time..

Yeah. We have several friends in that situation now.

RDP to a desktop near the share would be another option as well. Though performance could still be bad.

No that isn't an option...

Why not?

Because they are sharing. How many RDP are you going to set up?

You could do an RDP Gateway and just have a single outbound connection.... but it's really not ideal, RDP isn't the fastest or lightest protocol.

True, but in this case, being closer to the file(s) they need to edit would make most things a lot faster than a VPN -- especially if that VPN had to upload a big file over a crappy connection.

Our Office just switched to Remote Work except for patch day. So naturally, I'm at work today, lol... Just got lunch after a long ass meeting.
