Completed checkpoint 1 of the lab server. 

I am hoping this doesn't raise any red flags with
IT at my school... (knowing my luck, it will...)

What are some advantages of using a program or an app which uses a remote
server? What are some advantages of using a program or an app which is
completely local?
An advantage of using a program or an app which uses a remote server is that it can be accessed (presumably by someone with sufficient permissions) from anywhere with internet access. Another advantage is that the user may have some flexibility with what device they use to access the remote server.
An advantage of using a program an app which is completely local is that the user is not reliant on a remote server being up. Another advantage might be security; only someone with access to the user's device (and hopefully access is well monitored) can access the program or app.
2. You just ran a server on your own computer, and connected to it as a client
on the same computer. In what other situations might it be useful to run a
server on your computer, where you're the only client, on the same computer?
I would imagine if the server were setup for me as this one was that it could abstract away some of how it functions so the user can focus on what they want to happen. Another situation it might be useful to run the server on my own computer where I'm the only client on the same computer is to test whether the serve works the way it should before deploying it to a remote server or allowing others elsewhere to access it remotely.
