    Best PC setup for Multiple VM management - PLEASE HELP!

    In that case take a look at sessionbox as I mentioned above. If it works for you it would be cheaper than building a PC to run 20 VMs.

    Quick Python code question

    I take your point that a beginner may find more comments helpful. I would still urge .:SAmSuNG:. to review the comments and ask himself/herself if each one actually helps in explaining the code or are some of them just psuedocode that get in the way. I don't think it is a bad idea to learn...

    Python or C++

    My advice would be to start at the beginning with the easier option of Python. You should be able to learn enough Python to start doing useful things fairly quickly and this will give you a good grounding to then go on and learn other languages which will also be easier with one language...

    Windows to Linux switchers & anti-virus?

    Oh btw, forgot to mention that I haven’t bothered with av. I do have an NVidia card and installed the proprietry drivers a couple of weeks ago. I don’t think I have had a freeze since then so that was probably it.

    Windows to Linux switchers & anti-virus?

    I switched from Windows 10 to Fedora around a couple of months ago and am very happy with the move. I initially installed Ubuntu and Fedora partitions alongside Windows 10 but quickly found Fedora more to my taste than Ubuntu. The only problem I think I had with Ubuntu was with vnc and gnome...

    development laptop - setup suggestions + training

    You can't use the Hyper-V version of Docker on Windows Home but you can use the Virtual Box version. Also, if you use the Hyper-V version of Docker on Windows you can't run VMware and AFAIK Virtual Box. When I was using Windows 10 Pro I wanted to use VMWare and Docker so I used the VirtualBox...

    development laptop - setup suggestions + training

    Rather than using WAMP, I think you would be better off investing some time learning the basics of Docker for a local development environment.

    IP Cam recording software

    I have been using Blue Iris for about 18 months with 5 cameras and can recommend it. I use motion detection to record clips to disk as well as the iOS app for remote viewing and get email alerts when a camera is triggered. I don’t do continuous recording. The only problem I have had is with...

    What would you do?

    I also think your sister has been more than generous and that she should not bear the cost of the loss alone. In fact I don't think she should bear any of the cost which should be covered by insurance and if it isn't that's not the fault of your sister.

    Well that was a Christmas present I didn't want

    I really feel for you and can't bear the thought of losing my 15 year old Spaniel. RIP Pippin.
