Found out that Rust Desk (my remote desktop software) will keep a connection going. I guess when the software is self-hosted there is not need to code an arbitrary timeout.

The basis of troubleshooting is to "Rule Out; Not In".
This means that we are ruling out parts of a system that may hold the thing which is causing our problem.
You narrow down the possible causes of the problem so that you have a spot to start troubleshooting at.

Gonna be this way for about one more week. Then it's back to weather extremes.
