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.

home server

I acknowledge that this is a silly question, but what does a Windows home server do? I'm sure there are many possibilities, but most of my server experience has been Linux-based, so I'm just curious.

If I were to run Windows on my home server, I'd probably just end up running a lot of services in WSL out of habit 😆

I think the home server is probably Linux, since the middle panel is from KDE Plasma.

Ahh you're right. I totally overlooked that 🤦🏻‍♂️ KDE's not my daily driver
