Airplane!

...An audience member asked a question we never used to receive: “Could you make Airplane! today?” My response: “Of course, we could. Just without the jokes.”

Managing multiple RDP and SSH sessions

Sorted alphabetically. All of these except for Remmina are Windows apps.  Some are x-platform.

ASG Remote Desktop

ASG Remote Desktop is a commercial product for managing your many RDP and SSH sessions.

Devolutions

Devolutions RDM product is a free/commercial product for managing your many RDP and SSH sessions.

MobaXTerm

MobaXTerm has a free and paid version of its product.  It allows you to manage multiple types of sessions, manage credentials, and has a bunch of other utilities built in too.  Free XServer, tabbed SSH, tabbed RDP, etc. It is my default remote session application.  What I don't like: It doesn't address multi-display RDP sessions.  Otherwise I keep discovering more features as I use it, and highly recommend it.

mRemoteNG

mRemoteNG is an open source project that also allows you to organize, group, etc. your RDP sessions but it has the added capability of doing this with other kinds of remote sessions, like SSH.

RDCMan

Microsoft 's RDCMan is a free tool, part of Sysinternals, for managing multiple RDP sessions (only RDP, no SSH, etc.).  It allows you to organize them by groups, dynamic groups, save credentials to be used for different sessions, and more. What I don't like: It doesn't support using the Windows key in remote sessions.  I use Win+R all the time for example, so I don't use this application, even though it has a lot going for it.

Remmina

Remmina is an open-source project for multi-session (RDP, SSH, more - plugins make it extensible) management.  It does not run on Windows.

RoyalTS

RoyalTS is another commercial product for managing your many RDP and SSH sessions.

SecureCRT

Vandyke's SecureCRT is another commercial product for managing your many RDP and SSH sessions.

Setup Shadow Copies on Windows 10

Shadow copies are indispensable. They allow you to almost instantly recover a changed or deleted file/folder.  The easy setup isn't built into Windows 10 as it is in Windows Server, but setting it up only takes a few minutes and you will benefit from it instantly.

First, go to services, change the Volume Shadow Copy service startup type from Manual to Automatic, then start the service.

Then create a new Basic scheduled task.  Set it to run daily.  

The command is:

c:\Windows\System32\wbem\wmic.exe

The command arguments are:

shadowcopy call create Volume=C:\

Then edit your new task.  Set it to Run whether the user is logged on or not, and to run with highest privs.

Edit the Triggers, and set "Repeat Task every: " and enter 8 hours or so.

Then do a test run of the task to make sure it works (right-click, Run).  The task runs and completes instantly though Task Scheduler shows it as 'Running' for a while. Ignore that.

Open File Explorer, and right-click on your Documents folder, and you'll see a new option to "Recover Previous Versions".  Click on it, and you should see the new snapshot you just created.

Old shadow copies will be deleted automatically.  No deletion task or cleanup task needs to be scheduled.  By default the OS will limit shadow copy disk usage to 10% of disk space.

How to clear your sinuses instantly

It sounds too good to be true.  I just wanted to save the link for the next time I have a blocked sinus.  Will either update this post then, or delete it if it doesn't work.
