If you're talking about standard low-power two-way radios (like PMR 446) without a repeater, they're unlikely to be heard by eavesdroppers 5 miles away, let alone 10 miles. I'm more inclined to agree with Rob_D in that the measures need to be appropriate to the risk. Methods used to lower the risk are to advise staff not to transmit personal info over the radios, and to use some form of encryption (some is better than none at all).

I made something for this purpose when I worked in a school, with a web-based interface. It's available on GitHub if you want to use it - https://github.com/craigrodway/logintracker. It will require some updating though!

From my own experience running a Teltonika mobile router in a campervan, it's possible to do it using a small 12v LifePO4 battery that is charged from a solar panel. The router itself is very low power (as a rough guide, mine is about 2W idle and 6.5W (0.5A) max). So with a decent battery, that is a huge runtime already even before you add solar charging. I got mine from Solwise and they do all sorts of devices / accessories you might need.

For transactional emails, I use a UK-based provider called MailPace and find it works really well. Can be paid yearly and in GBP. It works much like SendGrid or Mandrill, but isn't designed for mailing lists or newsletters (or other bulk messages).

Great work guys!! v6 is looking really good 😎

That's really interesting! It does sound similar to some of our core customers - we have a handful of different systems which are used by charitable, non-profit and social prescribing organisations through to Local Authorities and NHS. And they all run on AWS in the UK If you're still open to considering other options, please feel free to drop me a PM or connect on LinkedIn. We don't have marketing websites/brochures for our products but more than happy to have a chat over Zoom/Teams.

Can you share what sector it's in, @Ditto? My day job company specialise in bespoke/SaaS information systems, mostly in health.

Thanks for giving it a go, I'm glad you're happy with it so far and that it was easy to set up! If you have any questions or need some support, please let me know

@AndrewPowell, No; at the moment, classroombookings doesn't have any MIS integration.

Thanks @icechris for mentioning classroombookings - author here! I'm happy to answer any questions about it or provide basic self-hosting assistance on here to fellow EduGeek users Craig.

We've had a Eufy RoboVac X8 since November last year (Black Friday deal!) and it's been great. My partner was very sceptical of them before buying, but fully converted to the robo way now. It supports multiple floor maps, you can set no-go areas, and it's sensible enough not to throw itself down the stairs. When you set up the first map though, make sure there are no floor-level mirrors - otherwise it gets a bit confused and thinks there's a doorway into another realm. You can get self-emptying ones as well - if they're within your budget, I'd recommend it - but no hardship if not. It picks up long human hair fine, but it does get wrapped on the rollers. It comes with a handy tool to cut it off them and that helps remove it all very easily. It manages hard floors with rugs fine, and going across various thresholds and surfaces. The only thing it couldn't do was a 2cm and very steep change in level form hallway to kitchen, so I've just changed the threshold there to a longer ramp-style one which it now manages perfectly fine with.

One way to do this might be to export the Word document to a PDF first, and then print the PDF as a booklet using Adobe Reader. I think it has a better print dialog that gives you more control over this.

Ah, I see, understood Booking approval functionality is also on the roadmap, but that one is a bit further away.

Hi ReddDwarfer, classroombookings author here! Unfortunately a read-only view isn't possible at the moment, but it is on the roadmap for future development. However, if you want to completely remove the ability to see and book rooms from certain users, whilst still allowing others, you can do it a couple of ways. 1) As you're using LDAP, you could change the filter to only allow users who match the criteria of the users you want to be able to book rooms. Anyone else would not be able to log in. 2) You could add your 'approved' users to one or more Departments, and then use the Room Access Control functionality to restrict specific rooms to just those departments. Make sure you remove the default access for 'Any logged-in user'. Sorry it's not exactly what you wanted, but hope that helps! Craig.

I have a couple of Ryobi drills (one was a kit similar to the one linked in the first post) and have been very happy with them. My use case is just general DIY stuff around the home and they've coped brilliantly. The SDS+ hammer drill (with Ryobi bits) goes into old Victorian brickwork with ease.

Loading and playing OK for me, both embedded and on YouTube itself.

Hi aidwiz, classroombookings author here! It looks like you might be running MySQL 8, which introduces stricter requirements on certain database queries. You can either modify your MySQL server settings to disable the "ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY" option (docs here) or you can modify the classroombookings code to change the query. If you want to change the classroombookings code, edit application/models/Dates_model.php, and make Line 93 look like this: $this->db->select('MAX(pc.period_count) AS period_count', FALSE); Hopefully that works! Craig.

You could also look at using Tito - an event platform similar to Eventbrite. It's free to use for free events.

I know you mentioned about hosting yourself after not finding suitable cloud hosts, but, can I recommend looking into Baserow or Airtable as potential options, if you haven't seen those yet? They both have JSON APIs and meet your list of requirements. Out of both, I'd go for Baserow.

I do love an extending arm rest. Thankfully my current Seat Leon does it as well - didn't take me as long to discover it this time round The follow-me headlights are a nice touch as well. Not much use to me in most cases, as I usually reverse on to the drive, and also due to the angle, they'd be lighting up next door's living room rather than the front door That is a pretty nifty feature! I've never known that to be a 'thing' on any cars I've had.

In the last car I had (Skoda Octavia), I accidentally found out that the top of the centre arm rest slides forward to give you more resting space. I looked over to my partner, shocked and amazed at my new discovery, only for her to respond with "Oh, did you not know it did that? My dad's car does that as well. [an Audi]"

Yes, Krystal are still a great option I host around 15-20 sites with them and wouldn't go anywhere else.

Great! Glad that helped

Hi oweeya, thanks for confirming PHP is working OK! I've had a look at a new, native Nginx install, and the key bit seems to be this section: location / { try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string; } Make sure your `/` location has a `try_files` directive that looks like that. Reload the Nginx service, and try the classroombookings install page again.

Hi oweeya, thanks for trying classroombookings (author here). From your post, it sounds like PHP might not be set up or working directly with Nginx. PHP operates differently depending on whether it's running under Apache (usually as a module) or Nginx (usually as 'FastCGI') and the approach for each is a bit different. The cloud service runs on native Nginx, so it's definitely possible. If you haven't already, start by looking at the Nginx/PHP setup, and make sure that Nginx can handle and process PHP files properly. Here's a guide that seems to cover most of what's required, but most Ubuntu-PHP-Nginx instructions are likely to cover it. Once you have a phpinfo() page working, you should be good to go. Server set up is beyond the scope of the free support that I can reasonably provide, but hopefully that points in you in the right direction. If you get the phpinfo() page working but classroombookings still won't load, post back with some more details and we can take it from there Craig
