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.

Good point. Thanks for adding some Clarification other than "No."

Though, depending on what kind of files and whether or not everybody is trying to edit the same one... a single RDP server with the files stored locally would work for this.

If you're looking to host something yourself.

Is actually really decent.

I had that one integrated with Moodle (Online Classrom) one time.

Jitsi Meet is also a decent one if you're looking to host yourself - or if you want them to host it.

Otherwise, I'd go with Zoom. I just got off a 4 hour Webex call, that may be the reason for my bias, lol.

listening to Result of Choice while creating remote access for users who won't remember how to use it as soon as they have to.

I could create some very simple doc for them to follow, but who reads shit and who remembers where you put it anyway!

I usually reply to the "HALP MA VPN IS BORKED!!!!" with
Hi $user

Have a go with these instructions, and let me know how you get on $link_to_KB_Article

No good mate, they still have to read something.

Not only do they have to read it, they also have to comprehend the text as well as any pretty screnshots included.
