  • There’s no “end game” - the world’s in constant flux.

    There’s a million stories, a million agendas, a million players (8 billion?)

    Every day there’s a change in circumstance, so every day each agenda/story shifts to accommodate, as the players take new approaches to achieve whatever goals they have today.

    Nothing is ever as simple as “end game”.



  • AFAIK, when you save to CSV with Excel it doesn’t add anything.

    But you won’t have a Table either, as that requires saving to an Excel format.

    As for the rest just format your columns as “text” in Excel.

    You could create the Table, do your sorting, and still save as CSV - it’ll retain the sort but won’t save the Table settings so you’d have to recreate the Table next time you open it.

    Edit: just remembered Excel adds quotes around text - I’ve always just removed them with a text editor like Notepad+ and Find/Replace.



  • RustDesk is a great option too for just Remote Access. Though I find it’s performance a bit slow, and with VPN I can use any tool I need same as on the LAN (my workflow is unchanged).

    I do use RustDesk for the adhoc situations (friend needs help/new machine, etc). It’s faster to setup for ad-hoc support vs adding a Tailscale client.


  • You’ll need port forwarding to expose RDP yo the internet

    No. Do NOT do this. RDP isn’t designed for the internet, it’s a security hole, even more so in a small business where they aren’t going to use advanced security (2FA, certs, etc).

    Remote access should always be over a secure connection, such as a VPN.

    Never port-forward RDP - you’re just begging to get owned.
