I spent 20 years setting up and maintaining Microsoft software and systems, and a coworker convinced me to try a Mac to test replacing our executive laptops. I was quickly sold, and haven’t looked back. I avoid windows like the plague now and everyone except my gamer son is living the sweet Mac life. Simple, performant, effective.

I went with bookstack. Simple to use and does exactly what OP is asking. Tailscale to connect so it isn’t public at all. Works great for me.

HR is there to protect the company, not help you.

Same. Helping to trickle down, unlike actual rich people.

Unfortunately it seems to work. My hillbilly relatives in AB/SK eat it up.

I moved from Canada to the USA, and what I have seen is that Canada is less unequal than the US. If you are working class in Canada there is at least some social safety net. In the US the rich are richer and the poor are poorer. Canada is moving that way but still has more protections for those on the bottom.

Does it matter? Housing should be a right, not an investment. The reliance on housing as a savings mechanism has driven up the cost of housing in Canada. No one (wealthy) wants housing values to drop, as it would destroy their retirement resources.

There are lots of docker deployment examples, and no reason it shouldn’t run in docker on windows. It supports Ubuntu containers. https://docs.docker.com/desktop/wsl/

My Dreamcast… I had almost every game downloaded and there was so much choice I never committed to anything and got bored. It taught me a lesson about piracy and the value of attention.
