    Employee requesting redundancy

    When you don't follow due procedure, the other party can come back and say you misrepresented the situation and manipulated them into taking X action against their interest. As a rule, I assume that the other party will 100% take me to court using lies and tears. Then, what I have to do...

    Clickworker,fiverr, etc. for web graphics and simple tasks?

    When you get something real cheap, know that you're getting something premade. There is one case though where you can get lucky. A good professional may be just starting out in these platforms and they might work for very little just to get going and get a few reviews.

    What cyber security steps are you taking?

    ffox, 1. Storing backups costs money, you can't simply have an older version. Especially if you don't keep it on your own storage, as you seem to advocate (cloud everything!) 2. On the part you quoted me regarding clusters, i said you don't need a cluster. 3. Linux still safer than Windows even...

    What cyber security steps are you taking?

    £0 because you don't need a cluster for anything. You can open your program, do the work, save. Just like you would do in Windows or Mac.

    "Linux is equally vulnerable to every other OS, so let's move our files to a Linux cluster where it will be safe".

    MS Office no longer offline

    You speak of "cloud" as if it's some sort of alien technology never seen before. It's the same thing with non-cloud, only designed and organised in clusters so that servers don't have unused resources. That's the only difference.

    MS Office no longer offline

    I think it only makes sense as a solution to short term costs. Trying something new is cheaper than setting up your own network and what not.

    MS Office no longer offline

    This is true according to you and everyone who does not know any better. Personally I don't care. You can continue paying.

    Is Corbyn and Labour fit for purpose

    Initially I thought you were talking about Corbyn

    What cyber security steps are you taking?

    My way of general purpose security: 0. Know what security is about 1. Linux 2. Never use any "cloud" services (aka "check this box if you're not very bright") 3. Keep everything in my own local file server and my own off-site backup location 4. Communication between machines restricted to keys...

    Tiny PC boxes - do you have one?

    Asrock has launched this year the DeskMini A300 which makes everything else obsolete I think.

    New PC reccomendations

    Get a tiny Asrock A300 with a Ryzen APU. The whole thing will cost less than 500.
