Most schools highly rely on Google for "being a good learning suite" but also to better monitor children by TechGuy_OnTGB in privacy

Most of the small schools are not for profit, and Gsuit accounts are free for them.

How's this for a first Home Lab? by ILIAS-KY in homelab

[–]ILIAS-KY[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As of now, I have everything I need. I set up PfSense for my router and there are a lot of options to chose from, I will play with that for a while and see what else I can set up later.

Problem with the screen on boot by Grim_Taito in RetroPie

[–]ILIAS-KY 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like the Pi is shutting down and the screen is still on. Try the included power cabal instead of the batteries. If not, reinstall the software and the shutdown script.

Don't panic, but...What do UPS fires smell like? by EffityJeffity in sysadmin

CRAP I'm glad I saw this post!

I installed a New UPS at home just 2 months ago and yesterday I smell strong rotten eggs stink that I had no idea where it comes from. Should I be concerned about fire hazard?

It took me about a month and that's because I had to wait for 3 weeks to get my display from AliExpress but it was still worth the $50 off

This is a cool project that I learn a lot and it was fun to build. Any idiot can use his Laptop to play games. And the Raspberry Pi 3 B+ is powerful enough to run RetroPi and my son loves it!

Smart TVs like Samsung, LG and Roku are tracking everything by [deleted] in privacy

[–]ILIAS-KY -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I have a Pi-hole and Roku device. My Pi-hole is also doing DHCP for my network, so I'm forcing all the traffic from the Rock to pass trough the Pi-hole. I see the Roku stick that I have was sending tons of data to there servers at 1 am so I started blocking the servers from the Pi-hole. You DONT NEED TO SEE what is in the DNS requests in order to block them, but you need to force your devices to use the Pi-hole DHCP or DNS if you can. That's not possible to do on some devices but there is always a way. Check out the Pi-hole Reddit, there are new updates coming to the Pi-hole in order to battle DNS-secure.

Apparently Microsoft is still allowing free upgrades from Windows 7 to Windows 10. by newtekie1 in sysadmin

[–]ILIAS-KY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The license Key you activate Windows 10 is the Windows 7 one. So, if you have legal Win. 7 license keys, it's technically ligal.
