One of my biggest gripes about Windows was updates, virus scans and compatibility scans running autonomously while I am trying to get stuff done, sucking up network, drive access and CPU. I didn't need Ubuntu doing the same thing to me - I want to kick off updates manually when I am taking a break for lunch or at the end of the day before shutdown.

The ones who survive it will breed and make kiddies that are more resistant to it. Problem solved!

Twas :-)

I never see this kind of stuff with XFCE. I run various flavors of Debian that do not go through Ubuntu.

I have been using xrdp on the "server" and remmina on the "clients". Both ends worked beautifully "out of the box" (i.e. apt install). Occasionally I might have had to open the firewall for xrdp?

Yeah, no obvious connection between the targets. Weird is right.

This was really neat, thank you for sharing it.

I don't mean this as snarky, but maybe someone here can answer this for me. He lost his electronics in a storm. He was on a sailboat that still had a mast. From the videos I have seen there were some tarps (and maybe sails) still on board. He knew he was Southwest of the continent because that is the direction he was traveling when the storm rolled up. Why not use the sun for direction, hang up what he had to catch wind, and sail roughly North East until he hit land? There is no way he could have missed all of the Americas from where he was at.

Time to start snapping up trucks on the cheap and converting them to tiny home RVs!
