How would I connect to the same network from so far away? Is that impossible?

If I want to connect from far away, would a simple NordVPN do the trick?

Thanks. Yeah, didn't give the full specs - my bad. I'm gonna take the 7020 and maybe the G4. Another question though -

Am I right in thinking if I self host, storing a bunch of movies locally, I can then connect to my self hosted server from another location/computer and stream my personal library?

Thanks

Well sort of, but it's more that sometimes there's nuances to the tech that makes things better or worse, like people will say oh well Linux hosting works best on a post-(year) intel chip or whatever.

Youre right though, I should've added the full specs and asked questions based off that. I was just hastily posting from inside the cellar at work.

I have now googled regardless and I'm gonna take the Optiplex 7020

Hasnt it been around a while? I remember Jason Statham smashing them down in Crank (2006) to keep his adrenaline levels up.

That's insane. My partner has a very severe nut and soya allergy, even a trace can trigger it... To go without one is completely inhumane.

Wow. My inhalers literally cost £10. And even then, I say to myself "oof, bit steep."

Perhaps, but its interesting to see what his brain defaulted to in the moment.

A very interesting part of this to me is the framing of war/invasions as "conflicts prosecuted by democracies".

If I was presented this quote in isolation, I would assume he's saying 'democracies are prosecuting people in conflicts for war crimes', - BUT HE'S NOT.

He's calling the act of war/invasion itself a 'prosecution' - hammering home the point that the West is the rightful world police - the judge, the jury, and the executioner. Imperialism happens because (insert country) is guilty.

Judge Dredd style foreign policy.

They'll just fund islamic extremism in the area. In fact, I'm sure they already are.

ah yes that's the one I thought I'd made a mistake
