It would be helpful if JCQ even just read through the rules they publish, they're so contradicting. Must connect to a printer, must not connect to a printer, must not connect to an intranet, but no rules about internet, must be cleared of stored data - what does that even mean? it's a computer!!!

Apparently not the custom domain So you just get to convert the account to a generic google account (with your purchases/ files) then use the 79p apple domain forwarding I guess.

I Once applied for a job on the same grade and negotiated they match my salary which they did. It's entirely up to the employer - but if you are applying within the same organisation (LA/Trust) I think they would be obliged to offer the same.

Interesting, I recall having a meeting with the CTO (or CEO, I forget) of one of the exam boards a few years back about online exams shortly after we launched 1:1 devices. I clearly remember him saying that most exam boards were really on board with on screen exams ( it would save them ££££ in marking) but there wasn't the political will from government, as the public would see 'online' as 'watering down/cheating' and hte exam boards had their hands tied by govt. I guess the pandemic has shifted that political opinion.

Run it in a browser from your python server:) https://github.com/ethanhs/python-wasm Demo: https://repl.ethanhs.me/

It depends upon the distribution. If you're using RedHat you can turn on SCAP policies: https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/getting-started-red-hat-insights-and-openscap-compliance-reporting I'm working a lot with Ubuntu these days and use the devsec Ansible hardening collection: https://github.com/dev-sec/ansible-collection-hardening specifically the os hardening: https://github.com/dev-sec/ansible-collection-hardening/tree/master/roles/os_hardening (there are some links at the bottom of that page that give a bit more explanation) To be honest though, fewer and fewer places are running full scale linux servers now, for a service like this I'd be inclined to stick in a container.

^ that's fine for me, sorry I didn't make it clear I was looking for a domain email relay that I didn't need to manage.

I think we have a winner: iCloud+ custom email domain for 0.79p per month with 50GB storage - the Microsoft looks like 6 times that at £59 https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201238

Isn't the solution just to put your cat in the loft?

I'd be interested to hear of other options edugeek members would recommend. Not entirely happy about financially rewarding Google for this move. I mostly just want domain email.

I'm going to cook this tonight as a tribute: https://www.recipetineats.com/meatloaf-recipe/

Water cooled rack mounts have been around for decades and are used in pretty much any datacenter. What makes this innovative is that it's using due point evaporative cooling, not water cooling per se. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaporative_cooler

If you need to do this regularly, you probably need Vault from Hashicorp. It's all opensource: https://www.hashicorp.com/products/vault

Google Forms does 99% of what I've ever needed. If you want extra functionality, educational licenses are free for RedCap. It's used a lot for in medical research for doing surveys, and it's designed with security in mind. It's fairly straightforward to setup - create a DB and dump files onto a webserver and the documentation is comprehensive. overview: https://projectredcap.org/ licensing: https://projectredcap.org/partners/join/

I think the point of the email deletion policy was that the organisation doesn't have a copy of the data, so it makes it very simple to comply with an SAR. If an individual retained a copy of the data it would be a breach of that policy. Being able to show (the ICO) that there are policies and procedures in place means the schools is 90% there. Most schools just ignore the rules and hope they don't get hacked.

yeah your right, It's been a while since I did this stuff. It's 72hrs for a data breach.

This scenario is a good reason why an email system is inappropriate for storing safeguarding data. In a previous school I worked at; all email was deleted at the beginning of each year and safeguarding info was kept on a separate system. It kept the school safe from costly subject access requests (SARs) whilst keeping legal data. Your lucky she didn't ask for a SAR: or someone would have to go and find every email, in every inbox with personal information about her. You have a month to do that. At least she just asked for her email to be deleted! Edit: Then again, if your holding info about who she's meeting down the pub, you don't have a legal reason to keep that either - and by the sounds of it the schools been ignoring GDPR for a number of years so you could just tell her to do one.

Everyone now adds a criteria of "likelyhood of being sued by vendor" to their tender process, gives it a high weighting.

Swap them out, and sell the originals. People pay ££££ for stuff like that.

We have some (150 ish) shared devices and have been using 'erase local data' since they arrived several years ago. The only downside I've noticed is that the logon takes longer to build out the profile - but it's still quicker than our windows so nobody seems to mind.

It was tongue in cheek, I'm just assuming the LA isn't going to have provision for sending an entire google drive.

I'm pretty sure the DPO will have already signed off the local authority as a data processor, get that confirmed then just send them email. They won't get access to your shared drives, but you could export it as a zip and send them some dvd's or something.
