The days of SaaS are numbered when we can just create our own custom tools

Yeah, need to define roles/job titles precisely, and you end up using groups as well when someone has multiple roles, but the problem of not being able to use OU hierarchy for certain things is the main cause of the entire mess, and probably why they got rid of it for Entra

I made all my entra groups using a combination of school/site/job title, and staff vs student (job = "teacher" or job = "ta" or job ="head") and (site = "site1") etc

Surely you have 1000s of computers already. Will the terrorist cut the internet line before attacking the school?

I've used various LLMs to make my Archive Printer system, identify filetypes, parse excel files, search for files, merge with other folders, and combine log files into spreadsheets, all with the free models. In agy.exe /quota shows you your remaining quota, when it runs out /model to switch then I just say "continue". Basically any small task is now automated

How odd, surely a couple of small desktops running in the rack on a failover system can do what you need, no need to pay £5k for a giant server

Why can't you run a server locally?

I recommend a poe to usb-c data/charging device to avoid having a critical device on wifi either way

Have signinapp released their Android version yet? Last I heard they weren't bothering to fix bugs because they were rewriting everything

testfiltering is the Bechdel Test of filtering, an impossibly minimal standard that somehow many don't even reach. Pay $20 a month for an AI subscription and leave it trying to find bad sites automatically every day, give it all of a domain/pupil/staff/guest VM/login so it can test multiple places

it's only been 12 years since they started migration, I'm sure they'll find a competent programmer soon, private equity sounds like the type of company that invests for the long term

Assume AI is a fancy search engine, ask it questions about the student, it'll then search all the data and return info. Eg we're going to the zoo, and issues I know know about my students? it's very hot, which students have known issues?

Ask AI to write a script to every x seconds check if there's a socket open to the server, and if not, restart the service

I use Cambium, they're great, you can pay extra for the Pro cloud features, but that's mostly for apartment blocks and people selling access. There's only 2 access levels on the admin interface, Admin or Read Only, so not great if you need more, but apart from that, no problems

Surely you can tell who's talking by the fact that they're emitting sound from their user on the meeting. If you're transcribing you're processing their voice anyway

They did have a new one, and fired the guy who wrote it https://www.linkedin.com/posts/justin-poehnelt_two-months-ago-i-was-fired-by-google-for-share-7475248041252368385-gnOe/ Apparently there's an official new one coming soon

I'd write a webpage to do it, main page has JS to switch, probably just put each in an iframe and hide/show the other one on a timer, then you can just open one page on any browser/os in full screen mode

Don't give them any PII, problem solved

Agree, move to cloudflare, also means you can do dns auth for lets encrypt, which means you can have wildcard certs

You argue that immutable means offline, that's the point of immutable after all

Not the one!

There's potential risks in everything, is using AI image generation bad? Given they have education accounts I assume they've thought about it.

why did you have to block it?

The 2 other things you need are the tz database about what country changes when, and knowing which country you're in, which the gps system should really know. What car is it?

Every clock I have changed automatically, the problem is solved. This will mean we decide to not change time itself instead of suggesting people arrive at work/school an hour earlier next year
