I was having trouble with access to my work remote desktop from home. Each time I was told the issue was fixed, I went home and it didn't work again.

So, I used my work PC to use remote desktop on my home server, and use that to remote access the work remote desktop again. Managed to troubleshoot the problem and complete the steps I needed to do on site to get this working.

I'm new to self hosting and am really enjoying having access to my home services. I chuckled at remote desktop inception, but it's been really helpful in solving my problem.

I work at the IT of a big bank, don't even have permission to change my windows wallpaper. The corporate struggle is mind-boggling sometimes.

    I know it’s a thing. My son is a cop (a pretty good one with actual empathy which is rare I know). Carries a gun and various other non-lethal weapons. Makes life or death decisions frequently enough. But the IT dept won’t even let him rearrange the icons on his work phone. I swear it looks like a stock boost mobile phone with all kinds of annoying shit everywhere. Laptop (windows mind you) is the same way. It’s kinda ridiculous.
