Noice, so this desktop app can it connect to NC server and or cloud files ? I assume this makes it more faster think Outlook OWA vs desktop client.

Now that would be pretty smart if it could.

it's a shame the Original owners of Screenconnect sold themselves out, but these buyouts normally end up making the product twice as expensive without any decent further development.

I've moved over to XCP-NG, anyone else using this as well yet? Ive tried and used Hyper V, I'm just not a fan of it tbh compared to xenserver/XCP-NG

Governments are wanting to control the internet and trying to put loads of pressure on big internet companies to comply with their wishes...I see eventually they will probably get what they want.

They mention about wanting to create their own Social Network for the country, what an excellent idea so they can create a backdoor and have access to everyone's information.

My main machine keeps trying to install 1803 but then rolls back and unable to install, hate the way windows does these feature updates now, had same issue when 1709 was pushed out.

They should go back to the old way....If I didn't need my music apps, I would be on Linux in a heart beat.

Runs on Windows, Fedora, and Ubuntu. Not bad. And a free PDF editor for Windows as well.

Might give this a try, see if it's any good

Setting up a hyper v server outside of a domain is just as much fun, completely redicolous really. ESXI and XS are a lot quicker to get up and going with.

Do you use this on LAN or WAN for your backups?

You could use either, but ideally and for the best performance you would backup onsite (as LAN will be faster) and then have a separate service that copies those backups offsite.

No, you never want a separate service copying backups. You want your backup service to take the local backups and send changed blocks to the offsite repository and have it put together the new backup there.

Transferring entire backups is just stupid.

I must admit, This makes most sense to me.

XCP-ng 7.4.1 Released

Excellent, they have it all ready for future updates and it also now has a fork of Xencenter included, very nicely done

Windows lean wtf? Probably be as useless as the ARM Edition

This WordPress theme + plugins looks nice, try the demo.

I've heard only office has excellent support for opening office documents with heavy formatting, how true this is I don't know as I haven't used it before.

@coliver make sure you wrap up warm today! lol, me on the other hand will be sitting at the computer in my tshirt

Weather is lovely here in the UK today

I wouldn't like to see the end of 365, but I would always like to see good competition to Microsoft, a leopard never changes its spots in my eyes and Microsoft have history with all the previous court cases in some of their dodgy practices and monopolisation..they slagged off Linux to high heaven in the older days and now their embracing it? Might be something to do with Microsoft using it as part of their azure backend.

You can't doubt they make some excellent products but they have always ripped people off and most of their licencing models are complete shit...I think in a few years people will be moaning to high hell once all their subscription models have been increased through the roof and Microsoft know you won't go over to Google now as their Google apps/g suite has been left in the dust.

Microsoft are far from a perfect company and it does iritate me when people di*k ride and never see any fault with them and a lot and most are Linux haters I find as well...

@dustinb3403 Gotcha
