Cake sounds like just the ticket. Thanks!
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

I'm using Azure DevOps, which is free for teams up to five users and 1800 minutes of builds and releases per month (one job at a time).
Of course I'm using it because I'm doing full Microsoft stack and it integrates well with Azure.
I found it easy to set up and the pipelines can be clicked together quite easily (haven't used the YAML pipelines yet).
For most my builds I can take the default .NET Core template and leave it at that.
The only downside is that it builds rather slow since you have to wait for an agent to become available...
Think an average of 3-4 minutes per build unless you're using building on a self-hosted machine (with is also supported and you can run one for free).
You can also take a look at GitHub Actions[^], which is in beta.
I haven't used it myself so I can't really say anything about it.

i'll probably mess with the GitHub one. The thing about MS services is I don't trust microsoft not to pull them. Something like GitHub will stay github even if it changes hands (probably)
so i've been using github for my source control and as offsite backup for my sourcecode (along with onedrive)
works for me. redundancy. =)

As GitHub has been acquired by Microsoft maybe this self-hosted alternative will interest you: Gitea[^]
It's dead easy to use and we have been using it at work in a Windows environment for years now without any problems.

i know they've been acquired, but they've reached the saturation point where there are no give backs. If microsoft doesn't want it they'll pass it off/sell it to someone that does rather than shutter it.
That's why i'm staying with it. I don't know the shelf life of Gitea but i suspect that regardless of who owns it in any given week, GitHub is here to stay.

kind of a given, and sort of goes with the territory of keeping something offsite. Short of UPS =)

When's the last time you've looked into projectors? If all you have to go by is what these guys want, then you're getting a very distorted view of reality. Projectors are quite affordable nowadays, if you want a huge, in-your-face picture. It's dumb ideas like this one that are expensive.
If you're going to spend 38,000 euros on the base model (...and it's just a bed...which doesn't include the projector and audio system), then adding 9000 euros for them doesn't seem all that much. OTOH, 9000 euros for a projector/sound system, by themselves, is seriously overpriced. The site doesn't even get into the hardware specs - is it even 4K? clearly, if someone's gonna buy this without knowing some of these fundamentals, it's clearly targeted at those who have more money than brains.
And if you're serious about wanting a home theater, you're already doing it wrong if you're looking for integration, just like you don't use a TV's built-in speakers. Combining this with a bed on top of that makes even less sense. Since the screen is placed at the foot of the bed, you're losing the benefit of having a projector -- that screen belongs on the opposite wall. For a projector, 70" is horrendously cramped. At that distance, why not mount a TV into that frame?
Bonus: If you keep everything separate, replacing one won't force you to replace the other.
More proof that anything that has "smart" in its name is most definitely not.

I think you already told everything that needed to be told with those two sentences

I'm...verbose in that way. 
I wish I had the ability to realize that's all I needed to say and had kept it at that. Seeing dumb products like this just get me going.

I've fixed my SQL Server connection problem, but I have no idea why it happened in the first place ...
I went right back to basics, and trying pinging the Dev server (my Desktop PC) ... and it was really slow, 25ms, or sometimes greater and outside the ping timeout.
Pinging the NAS was 2ms or less, reliable and solid.
So ... something there then, despite my internet connection being fine and dandy, and my PC unchanged. (Except for the 1903 update, but the problem was there before and after that, so that's not the cause.)
Ping the NAS from the desktop - <2ms
Ping the surface from the desktop >25ms.
Hang on a moment ...
Ping Desky from surface: >25ms and unreliable.
Ping Desky IP from surface: <2ms and solid.
Ping Surface from desky: >25ms and unreliable.
Ping Surface IP from desky: <2ms and solid.
Hmmm ... DHCP? DNS? Is everything I do going via the internet DNS? 
The NAS defines it's own static IP ... interesting.
Let's try an experiment. Hunt internet, give up, delve into bowels of router config ... Ah! "DHCP Reservation". Set two entries: MAC of Desky, MAC of Surface. IP's 99, and 98 respectively.
Reboot them.
Ping Desky from surface: <2ms and solid.
Ping Desky IP from surface: <2ms and solid.
Ping Surface from desky: <2ms and solid.
Ping Surface IP from desky: <2ms and solid.
SSMS: Desky instance, username password: straight in.
ELEPHANTing YES!
I can only assume that the mix of Home and Pro on the network confused something, or the DNS /DHCP service is a bit odd - but it all works now!

99 and 98? I would recommend 37 and 73 to keep the back and forth of your network in Prime condition.

You remember those do you? I worked on them at the tail end of their existence in 88-90.

I worked on 'em at the tail end of the 70's / early 80s. I thought they were quick in those days ...
