Yes, unless it is encrypted, in which case you need a way to decode that. You can even boot an OS from a USB thumb drive to recover files from a hard drive.

Is moving the drive to another computer as a secondary drive an option? Or put it in a separate USB enclosure? That way you don't need to boot it at all, unless it's encrypted or something.

Since unity is c# I think maybe you phrased that opposite of what you meant?

Anyway, I work in an enterprise environment. We use both Java and .Net, and it largely depends on which group you're in. Neither Java nor .Net is going away anytime soon.

You really don't get to stick with just one thing in a developer career. Learn a little of everything, especially multiple paradigms, and specialize in a few related to the business you work for.

A key skill is adaptability, learning as you go. If you make yourself too specialized, you'll set yourself up for being laid off when your skills become obsolete. I have interviewed a few older IT people in that situation, only a few years from retirement.

What about volunteering? Usually no credentials or experience is required. You get out of the house, get to be around people, and you get the satisfaction of feeling like you are doing something useful, which is rewarding in itself.

It could be anything. You have all kinds of organizations wanting volunteer help: social outreach programs, churches, scouts, clubs, etc. See if anything local catches your interest.

To manage packages on the terminal, I personally like to use aptitude which has a nice visual interface to find, install, and remove packages. It also lets you resolve conflicts interactively. If you do not want a separate tool, you can use apt-cache search to search for new packages.

As is typical with Linux, there are multiple ways to do it. I found an article that outlines a few alternatives.

Make sure your switch(es) are actually getting the full speed. Despite good cables, they could be negotiating at lower speeds. Also check that your router isn't limiting bandwidth in its configuration somewhere.

I switched to self hosted Piwigo after Flickr started threatening to delete my photos a while back.

It had an extension that let me import all my photos from Flickr. Not sure if that still works after they changed hands.

It's very easy to maintain; just click the update button in the Web UI. And it comes with a bunch of extensions.
