This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Remote access home PC to test remote access to the work PC (infosec.pub)

I was having trouble with access to my work remote desktop from home. Each time I was told the issue was fixed, I went home and it didn't work again.

So, I used my work PC to use remote desktop on my home server, and use that to remote access the work remote desktop again. Managed to troubleshoot the problem and complete the steps I needed to do on site to get this working.

I'm new to self hosting and am really enjoying having access to my home services. I chuckled at remote desktop inception, but it's been really helpful in solving my problem.

No one tell this person what OS most ATMs run on…

Used to be OS/2 of some description but I think it's more likely to be windows embedded these days. I fail to see how that's revelant to this dude using an ancient version of office on his work PC though.

As of 2020, they’re still running XP

Edit: just saw the comment from listless. Different source, so leaving it here.

Hey, only 20 years, that's pretty young for an industrial operating system!

Go way back and they were IBM 3624's.

I remember being pissed when an ATM crashed with my card in it and came up with a nt4.0 splash screen. At least it wasn't win98 like the shop till.
