You didn't post the log @Jaan

At what point does it become worth getting a business FTTC connection over a leased line? 1GB/s business (contended, but not as much as residential) is more like £700 per year depending upon your area. Does 1GB/s business FTTC compare favourably against a 100/300/500mb/s leased line?

Left over from the win98SE days? Windows has had an NTP client since at least XP

Refer to this: https://privacy.microsoft.com/en-us/privacystatement You will need to review the policy as and when MS update their terms.

Makes sense. If you are running vscode locally, you can connect the vscode to a remote vertex workbench running in GCP (it's essentially a managed jupyter instance), so the code executes there. https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/datascience/jupyter-notebooks https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/docs/workbench/instances/introduction

It's not a direct equivalent, but https://colab.google/ or vertex workbench offer jupyter style notebooks. If you need the azure service, couldn't you just login via Google? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/configure-authentication-provider-google

Fair, but i did work in a majority linux school that had some of the best KS3-5 results in the county. Not keeping up with the latest MS fad and the hardware to go with it does have benefits in terms of money for the rest of the curriculum. That's where student outcomes are improved.

*Imagines loads of physicists, mathematicians, data scientists and software engineers becoming teachers and demanding "industry standard" linux apps. Perhaps that's why they are shortage subjects, the media department runs the school IT policy.

I was making the point that its a lack of training; that schools won't pay to train staff to use other applications/systems, so just end up paying more on hardware and software to keep up with microsofts sales timetable - and then get faced with the choice of ditching the course and teachers anyway because it's all too expensive.

There are no requirements to run windows for any courses, perhaps with the exception of the ECDL. It's all a choice, and a lack of training.

Agree. Microsoft is the limiting factor, linux and apple don't seem to be affected by the same issues on ARM.

Do you know if the company is still trading?

Nice. It would be awesome if there was some more details on some of the ships. Is the project open source to allow contributions?

I think an LTS release should be at least 10 years. As @liamread2000 said, the 2021 release is 'LTS' but only has 5 years of support. That doesn't count as an LTS release in my mind. I think the Ubuntu model is pretty good - they release an LTS release every two years and that release has 10 years support. edit: they extended it to 12 years: https://canonical.com/blog/canonical-expands-long-term-support-to-12-years-starting-with-ubuntu-14-04-lts

That's outrageous. Isn't there an 'enterprise' version for schools? Ubuntu, ChromOS, RedHat all have full ten year support lifecyles - cost lot less too, even without keeping them for double the time.

Hmm, Caching issues, vague statements. Did they get bought by classcharts?

Isn't the support 10yrs ? An LTS branch was released in 2021 so there should be another 7 yrs before it becomes a problem.

Back in the day we used to block flash .swf files from saving onto the users home areas. In this case I would wager that the html file is probably loading a js file from a cdn somewhere. If you inspect the file you can probably work out the file it's trying to pull and block it there.

It doesn't sound like a great idea to me: Having two systems doing the same job on two networks doubles your likelyhood of failure. A much better solution would to have a HA setup whereby a single service controls both networks with a failover to another DHCP server: you half the risk and not double it.

Also went smoothwall > fortigate and I'd recommend fortinet

The only other thing I can think of is to serve the remote session over http ( see guacamole ) and then put an identity aware http proxy infront of that ( eg nginx with saml/oidc/ldap/whatever). Student would login to the http proxy which would then forward to the rdp session which they would also login to with the shared user account. Sounds like a PITA implement though.

Login as the student with MFA, then impersonate the service account. i.e. create a script to the application that would run the app in the service accounts context.

yeah. Once people said they couldn't use linux because of poor driver support, then it was lack of applications, then ability to manage them, then gaming. Not sure what the reasons are these days TBH. I guess people just don't like change.

Linux for work and macbook for everything else We don't have many windows O/S where I work (small company 500 employees) Don't get much time for gaming, but I hear that steam/proton has excellent support for linux these days.
