    Not connected to the internet

    Right, this is a rather weird one. Am new to macOS. But, on a few occasions now, I will restart (Apple icon \ Restart) my MBP 2019.

    I have a 2014 Mac mini set up in my coat closet as a headless file server. I installed a 1tb SSD, so it has a good deal of storage, but it's only got 4gb RAM, so it's too slow to use as a desktop. Instead, I use a 2018 Mac mini as my office computer. But that machine only has 128 Gb SSD. It...
