  1. Go to drive.google.com. Select a file or folder that you own. At the top, click Share person_add. In the bottom-right corner, click Advanced. Do one of the following options: If you selected a file, check the Disable options to download, print, and copy for commenters and viewers box. If you selected a folder, check the Prevent editors from changing access and adding new people box. [*]Click Save changes . [*]Click Done . Now, anyone with view or comment access will see the download, print, and copy options grayed out.
  2. The only reason staff would want to use ancient technology like USB sticks is because the college doesn't have a better online solution. As soon as you put in a decent system that people want to use the usage of USB sticks drops off a cliff; and so does most of your data protection worries and the problem of recovering data from the damn things. 1) chose an online suite such as google/office etc 2) prevent documents being downloaded It becomes a complete non-issue when people use the cloud tools and don't rely the old tech, same happened with floppy disks and CD's.
  3. Interesting indeed: Dairy UK has long advocated that the seismic shift Brexit will create will bring with it opportunities we should be prepared to take advantage of. Any new agricultural policy that incentivises farmers for improving animal welfare, environmental standards and that promotes efficiency is for us, a positive step towards the successful dairy industry of the future. Too coincidental not to be related.
  4. LOL At the British Milk Council (NSFW)
  5. Probably due to all the abuse Tim Martin gets for his ill informed Brexit ideology.
  6. To put it another way, a 1GB/s leased line backup to a (more distant) exchange costs the school a whopping 0.1% of it's annual budget. From my perspective it's a no-brainer.
  7. We're more likely to get a power cut than the internet down because it just failsover to another provider. The internet is *SO* critical to teaching, learning and administration that we have to have the backup links anyway so moving servers offsite is just a bonus really.
  8. 2020 is my goal to remove all servers into the cloud, so that will work out quite nicely for me!
  9. ^ I appreciate it's hard being thrust into a situation where people have made poor decisions in the past which you now have to deal with. Sorry if I upset you, I just strive to configure the best possible configuration for all involved rather than polishing a t*rd.
  10. I don't think he wants to hear why it's a bad idea. I tried that already. I suspect management told him to do it
  11. We use email for notifying staff and students. We're stuck in the 1970's ! I've tried introducing Hangouts but staff are reluctant to change.
  12. Google Suite certainly does. Add Calendar > Browse Calender's of Interest > regional holidays
  13. Where did you get a calendar system that doesn't already have these dates imported automatically ? 1990 something ?
  14. It can automatically import users from active directory. It's in the manual: https://koha-community.org/manual/17.11/en/html/17_miscellaneous.html#integrating-ldap-with-koha
  15. You are just working around a bad setup. To get the best redundancy you should have redundant leased lines to the internet, not interconnecting sites. it's a waste of time and money.
  16. Rather than purchasing three 1 GB/s leased lines, have you thought about running your core servers in AWS, Google Compute Engine or Azure ? It's not all that expensive if you use a sensible scaling technology.
  17. There are a lot of howto's about converting pfx files with openssl. You will need to install the certificates into /etc/pki/tls on centos and point the /etc/httpd/ssl.conf to it but it does rather depend upon how the virtualhosts are setup. you might need to post the config. Alternatively you could put a load balancing proxy such as nginx in front of it.
  18. We used to use MRBS and changed to Google Calendars because it has a 'resource' booking system and is easier to use. It is also integrated with all our other systems and staff are well trained in using google calendars.
  19. perhaps a rumour to lower intel's share price (again) and make them ripe for a takeover !
  20. Agree. but it does depend upon how they do it; they could keep the same x86_64 architecture for linux and windows, as AMD do, but have something extra for osx users
  21. I was told that at BETT too. in 2017.
  22. Pretty sure Google have been using AJAX notifications in gmail since about 2005.
  23. This is the script I use to find any file in a folder with a .mp4 extension and encode it to h.265 with mp3 find . -iname "*.mp4" -exec [b]ffmpeg[/b] -i {} -vcodec libx265 -acodec mp3 -threads 8 {}.mp4 \; I've been using it on dance/drama moderator video and crunched 1GB+ videos to tens of megabytes
  24. I think the restriction is done on our Chromebooks rather than the accounts.
