Forgot the one everyone wishes they could forget - FTPS !
Might be worth noting that SCP is non- interactive file transfer only, whereas FTP/SFTP can do interactive sessions and management functions as well.

Go to Moscow, hang a left. When you hit the North Pole, head south…not, not that south, the other one! The other other one. After a bit, take another left for a couple hours, and you’ll arrive at your destination on the right.
I think it’s been made pretty clear between Andor and Ashoka that the Old Republic, the Empire, and the New Republic are all essentially the same bureaucracy at their cores, just with different leadership and priorities at the top.
It’s really showing the banality of evil…people continue to do their jobs and following orders of whoever the current bosses are. By and large, they can’t directly see whether their own actions are used for good or evil, the paperwork must continue to flow regardless.
That’s why there isn’t a ton of chaos when one galactic government supplants the next. Setting up an all-new galaxy-spanning bureaucracy is extremely hard, why not just do some loyalty oaths and let the existing machinery keep on chugging along.
I suppose it’s the natural result of wanting to keep the show on as long as possible, when you’ve only got one good idea for the story arc. You need a lot of filler.
I’d like to see more shows done in the style of Babylon 5, where the creator had the whole 5 years written out from day 1. There was very little in the show that felt like filler or treading water.
Which also may explain why books are being brought to TV more frequently these days. But, TV showrunners have a bad habit of taking a good novel and totally mangling it in the translation to TV, so it’s not a guaranteed win.
It’s mostly decent, some interesting twists, but also plenty of dumb stuff in it too. It’s only 7 episodes, so even if you don’t end up liking it you haven’t wasted much time!
Tanium has some common apps pre-packaged and regularly updated, you could just setup an ongoing deployment for those to automate keeping them up to date with minimal work on your part.
If you need to update something not on that list, you will need to make an upgrade package yourself with the updated installer or files.
Whether this is actually easy or not really depends on the app vendor and the software. It’s usually straight forward, but not always. But that’s the case with literally any software deployment solution.
I have one app in particular who’s install and config essentially un-automateable. But it’s a shitty LOB app that was written in the 90’s to be intentionally obtuse to prevent privacy, hopefully that’s not an issue in your case.
We are using Tanium, just put the agent on the servers and you are good to go…build your packages and set up deployment jobs.
It also handles Windows patching, and can do system inventory, among other features.
It’s also great for software deployments to you remote workforce systems that are rarely/never on the corporate network.
And seriously, you want a domain. GPOs are incredibly useful for pushing out a huge variety of Windows config changes extremely easily.
The Empire focused half of the show that was mostly made up specifically for the show is EXCELLENT tho, and really worth watching.
They should have just stuck with that and called the show Empire IMHO. Would have been an instant classic.
Frankly, you’ll enjoy Foundaton more if you don’t read the books first. Otherwise, you’ll be sitting there shaking you head wondering why they continuously mangle the core concept of the books so badly, despite characters occasionally directly stating how it works (only for the same episode otherwise showing utter disregard for said statement)
Show was killed way to soon. It was pretty solid!
Season 1 was definitely the highlight of the show. But the later seasons were still pretty entertaining.
Dunno if Lexx is really worth it tbh. The original movies were worth watching just because it was so weird and different.
But if you were on the fence after those, well it doesn’t really change. Just season after season of the same sort of plots…if you like that, it’s great. If you don’t, it’s gonna get old really fast.
I rewatched all of Andromeda recently, and after a season and a half is was mostly awful, but it was occasionally entertaining.
I rewatched the first Lexx movie, remembered why I never finished the show the first time around, and moved on to something else.
Yeah, I hate it. I’d want some sort of SAML SSO auth in front of the actual RDS Gateway to allow you to use whatever identity provider and MFA you already have.
You really don’t want to allow all manner of auth attempts able to be made against your actual workload servers, which is what it sounds like you are describing.
Andromeda had such promise for a low budget SciFi show. The writing started out pretty good…then purple went gold and the writing IMMEDIATELY went to shit, no slow downward slide or anything. It was like a totally different show midway thru season 2, have never seen anything like it before or since.
Heck yeah, watched all of those, they were so fun. Cleopatra 2525 is one I had almost forgotten about, thanks for reminding me!
Honestly, mostly a non issue, if the email didn’t contain any sensitive info.
Your email address isn’t secret, and will be scraped up by spammers sooner or later anyway. Security by obscurity is basically no security at all.
It’s really an entirely different animal than either of them, but ranks right up there with them in terms of quality.
SG1 is a 50/50 serious/fun ratio, with long running plot threads mixed in with adventure- of-the-week episodes. It’s a bunch of friends saving the galaxy and having fun doing it. It’s got a real sense of Earth’s slow progression from the mostly forgotten backwater homeworld of humanity all the way to being a major power in two galaxies.
B5 is like a 90% serious novel about war and politics.
BSG is 100% grim, and it becomes really obvious in later seasons that while the Cylons might’ve had a plan, the writers sure as shit didn’t know what it was supposed to be. This unfortunately makes it overall the weakest of the three IMHO.
Oh man, I haven’t seen uuencode in so long, I basically forgot it existed until I read your comment!
