How to apt-offline Linux Generic and Headers for 20.04.4 LTS

Afternoon.

I'm trying to manage a set of servers that have no net connection. I've been using Apt-offline to do so, and it's generally been good, but it appears that I've been hitting a problem since the release of 20.04.05 LTS.

I'm trying to create a document so that I can formalise the process for another volunteer to manage and this is blocking that without adding a bodge.

Sending mails using PHPMailer shows raw headers from one server

I have a web application running on various servers. The application allows you to send emails using PHPMailer.
Although the servers use the same PHP version on Ubuntu,
one of them sends the headers obviously in the wrong format. The headers are shown as if they were part of the main text.

Is there any Ubuntu or PHP configuration I might have missed?

How to use enhanced session of Hyper-V on Ubuntu 22.04 desktop?

I use a enchanced session of Hyper-V(RDP over VSock) by xrdp on Ubuntu 22.04.1 Desktop.

But Some desktop components are not working on enhanced session. I guess the compoentns require wayland not X11.

Ubuntu 22.04 Desktop recommends use gnome-remote-desktop for remote desktop, not xrdp.

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.
