I am evaluating Server 2022 and ran across Server Core App Compatibility Feature on Demand (FOD).

Once installed and after a reboot, your Server 2022 Core instance will now be able to run the GUI versions of the following programs:

• CluAdmin.msc - Cluster Admin
• colorcpl.exe - Color Management
• devmgmt.msc - Device Manager
• diskmgmt.msc - Disk management
• eventvwr.msc - Event Viewer
• explorer.exe - File Explorer

• -F: quit immediately when the entire file fits in one screen
• -R: enable colored output
• -s: squeeze blank lines into a single blank line

File Insertion Utility

This Python utility provides two functions for inserting lines into configuration files:

• insert_lines
• regex_insert_lines

These functions allow for precise and flexible modification of text files, particularly useful for updating configuration files in networking and system administration tasks.

• insert_lines: Inserts specified lines into a file before or after a line that starts with a given string.

Cross Platform Unison Setup: One Way, Immutable File Mirroring

• Server: desktop - a windows PC
• Client: macbook
• Unison: version 2.53.5

Concept

I need to run KeePassXC on both my Windows desktop and MacBook. I consider the desktop to be the source of truth. If I want to update an entry, then I will modify KeePassXC only on my Windows box. I am restricting myself to this
