  • nah, that's one of the soaks, there's a whole system that runs down the eastern side of warragul down to mordi. Most of the springs were apparently in cheltenham, which is insane to me.

    (fun fact: I used to spend the four hour break between tech C and accounting at TAFE whacking the shit out of golf balls at the driving range that used to be where the bypass is now. That whole park area was tip)

  • and today on "searches that will get me on a list"

    Moorabbin was once renowned for its springs. I am randomly trying to find where they were. Unfortunately I am surrounded by goddamn car repair shops so guess what fucking comes up when you search "Moorabbin springs" so now I'm digging at hydrogeological data for the entire port phillip bay area to find the aquifers....

  • Linux GUI termserv

    Due to hardware reqs we're tossing the idea at work to replace the Microsoft termserv with Linux. Due to the userbase being all windows fans we'd need a full on GUI and i've been prodded towards Mint. Good idea or bad?

    I've happily set up a remote kunbuntu for my workspace previously, but accomodating multiple complete linux neophytes is giving me a bit of pause.

    Bit more info: The current termserv is a debloated win10 machine with the multisession registry edit. However, it's on an R515 with proxmox (and running extremely well). Due to partner network requirements, we can't run depreciated software, and the box won't support win11, and frankly, I sat the boss down and asked him if he wanted to be microsoft's bitch for the forseeable future and junk serviceable hardware. He's absolutely up to getting on a linux ecosystem, but the graphical desktop environment is non-negotiable on his end.

    **EDIT: ** Anyone else looking to run this system: https://www.apalrd.net/posts/2022/xrdp_intro/ Video link at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAllRma_0xc

    Unable to comment?

    Running IOS version, can post to the body of of a thread, but unable to reply to comments in any way, shape or form. Not even the option to do so. Not in-thread, not from inbox. Only options are report or copy text/link

    Definitely logged in seeing as the whole inbox thing....

    Also can't upvote/ downvote, attempting to do just collapses the thread

    Thoughts?
