@pauska Yes. 6th formers get YouTube and twitter (16-18) but Facebook is blocked for everyone. We have a staff proxy if we need to access it in case of Cyber bullying, etc.
the thing is.. our daughter company isn't a school per say
they get hired by the norwegian unemployed system to educate unemployed (and immigrants) in how to be better at finding new jobs
unemployed people are usually not very enthusiastic about doing anything smart with their life, so they spend ALL their time on the net doing non-productive stuff
@MDMarra Don't know. Thats what we were told they could have, so that's what they got. Also I think Twitter is less of a time black hole than Facebook.
@pauska Granted. In a previous job we had e-mail reporting for the top 20-odd domains by bandwidth. At the end of the week go though the domains and block the most popular ones, then repeat each week. List soon goes down though.
@jscott I used the Enterprise Deployment tool and there is an option that says "Specify the path durign the deployment" which is ideal for this scenario as some need to be installed to D:\
We use Smoothwall, internally. They have a component which can be installed on staff machines that go off-site and will copy the block list locally and block sites when off-site which is quite frankly a) brilliant and b) evil but we don't hate our staff enough to do that to them.
I provide much details below to hopefully make my issue as clear as possible.
Using dd if=/dev/ps3da2 of=/mnt/edexhdd/EDPS3LINUX.iso bs=16384 I copied a fairly huge partition from a physical Linux non-Xwindow installation on a PPC64 architecture (actually the PS3) to an external HDD. The partiti...
@MDMarra Yeah, I opened InstEd but I like say, INSTALLDIR didn't work and there a few others which are similar so I was getting into guesswork territory and I didn't want to break the installer.
@Dan Oh, that would be no problem. I don't sign up for stuff using my work email... but I don't like that they've opted in all our staff just because we use Google Apps.
@pauska I'm not anti everything cloud, but we've had the conversation at work numerous times that it's only going to take one or two serious failures or security breaches to really send this thing back home
The first time somebody hacks Google (And let's face it, they must be targeted 24/7 now) and posts a dump of 500 companies e-mail or something will be interesting
I would set my PC name to Microsoft and then net send people on IRC messages about how I knew who they were and the software piracy agency were on their way
@Dan from what I know - going the office 365 route can save some type of clients a lot of money as you pay per user per month (instead of doing traditional per-year lease of cal's)
@Dan Google for something called PJLTalk. It lets you send message to be displayed on HP printer control panels - messages such as "Insert Coin" or "Replace User"
complexity is just what combination of upper, lower, characters, and numbers are required. length and aging are different
afaik, you can use a FGPP do modify everything except the definition of what "complex" is, because that's a password filter .dll that's registered on your DCs
We had a student ask what their Date of Birth was, when we told him we'd used it for their password. Not what format we used, or did we use the right date but what is a date of birth >_>
hey @ewwhite just wanted to drop in and tell you I completed my app. It runs awesomely on a load balanced set of linux containers, blocked from the internet and running limited user accounts. Details of my implementation are here :
After 13 days of hard work, I finally did it!!
I explored FreeBSD Jails, my lack of networking experience and the fact that I had to rebuild the OS many times drove me away. FreeBSD is really cool though!! I'll get back to it soon.
I looked bleakly at OpenVZ and then thanks to @ewwhite I revisi...
@ewwhite appreciate your help with the whole thing :)
If you find some relavent stuff just give me a shout about it
Generally itself I'm a linux newbie and barely knew what bash was 4 months ago, but this was mostly a ridiculous personal challenge to myself : build a cloud ide for a language you don't know on a platform you've never used :D
Yep. I mostly only played with Windows/C# since I was a kid, but this was mostly a personal challenge and I hope to switch my job to being a perl/linux developer :D says a short prayer
@pauska Any suggestions for more stuff I should learn for a perl/linux web dev job?
@pauska ah thanks. I shall be studying tonight :D Really? Sometimes I think there is no dearth of C# developers around, but then I have nightmares running my team. We so bloody slow that I spent several weeks living at my office (took my sleep gear there ofc) and wrote large chunks of the app myself.
@pauska I guess that the ease of becoming a C# dev makes for a lot of crappy .NET freshers out there. The Linux crowd seems so much more ... idk.. cleaner, awesom-er
Trying to debug a password change problem... (getting heap corruption error on lsass.exe now and then) How quickly do you think I can change a password without screwing something up else up? Once a second? Faster?
@MDMarra hiring a consultant is not always the answer mate.. you could end up in a situation where you have to find out whether it's economically viable to run VDI for - let's say - 20 users. Hiring a consultant would quickly make that not economical.
