Powerlink adaptors no longer working

I have been using powerlink adaptors on Ubuntu 20.04.3 and they have just stopped working. Assuming that one of the pair had gone bad, I replaced them, but they're still not connecting.

DNS server (and reverse proxy) with Ubuntu
us flag

I have a bunch of Docker containers running on my Ubuntu server. Each one is accessible within the local area network via IP address and port.

Is there any way to setup a local DNS server for each one so I don't have to keep entering in the IP and port? For example http://container1 will take me to http://10.1.1.2:7000?

Or can this only be done via the router?

Disable touchpad while typing in Xubuntu Login Screen

I have looked through the lightdm gtk greeter settings but there's no option for this.

The Stunning Power of Questions

Much of an executive’s workday is spent asking others for information—requesting status updates from a team leader, for example, or questioning a counterpart in a tense negotiation. Yet unlike professionals such as litigators, journalists, and doctors, who are taught how to ask questions as an essential part of their training, few executives think of questioning as a skill that can be honed—or consider how their own answers to questions could make conversations more productive.

That’s a missed opportunity. Questioning is a uniquely powerful tool for unlocking value in organizations: It spurs learning and the exchange of ideas, it fuels innovation and performance improvement, it builds rapport and trust among team members. And it can mitigate business risk by uncovering unforeseen pitfalls and hazards.

For some people, questioning comes easily. Their natural inquisitiveness, emotional intelligence, and ability to read people put the ideal question on the tip of their tongue. But most of us don’t ask enough questions, nor do we pose our inquiries in an optimal way.

The good news is that by asking questions, we naturally improve our emotional intelligence, which in turn makes us better questioners—a virtuous cycle. In this article, we draw on insights from behavioral science research to explore how the way we frame questions and choose to answer our counterparts can influence the outcome of conversations. We offer guidance for choosing the best type, tone, sequence, and framing of questions and for deciding what and how much information to share to reap the most benefit from our interactions, not just for ourselves but for our organizations.
