Ask Slashdot: How To Best Setup a School Internet Filter?
An anonymous reader writes "I was recently volunteered to be the network/computer admin for a small non-profit school. One of the items asked of me had to do with filtering inappropriate content (i.e. stuff you wouldn't want your mother to see). Essentially we want to protect people who aren't able to protect themselves, at least while on campus. Basic site filtering is fairly easy — setup squid with one of the many filtering engines and click to filter the categories your interested. Additionally, making the computer lab highly visible uses public shame and humiliation to limit additional activity. The real question — How do you filter Facebook? There is a lot of great content and features on Facebook, and its a great way to stay in contact with friends, but there is also a potentially dark side. Along with inappropriate content, there is a tendency to share more information than should be shared, and not everyone follows proper security and privacy guidelines. What's the best way to setup campus-wide security/privacy policies for Facebook?"
It's set up — two words.
Setup is a noun. Set up is a verb.
(Sorry — my grammar-ness finally got the best of me.)
lulz, now we gonna get spammed by the hosts file conspiracy theory guy that links to http://cryptome.org/2012/07/censored-slashdot-post.htm
Or by "APK"... for the second time today.
This is now the eigth post of mine that you've spammed in the last 20 minutes, on top of the earlier more scattered snipes. You're escalating. Does it give you some sense of power now to stalk and snipe at me pseudo-anonymously because I had the temerity and lack of diplomacy to criticize your behavior in public? Grow up and get over it. I called you fucked-up in so many words because you are fucked-up, significantly enough that it affects both your writing and your emotional state. This behavior right now, tracking down every recent post I've made and sniping anonymously at each one in some perverse attempt at revenge is just... juvenile. You have the emotional maturity of a ten-year-old. What next? Do you track me down and stalk me across the entire Internet? Will that finally make you feel powerful?
I have to wonder, though: how much potentially constructive personal time are you going to squander trying to (in your own mind) destroy me? You aren't powerful enough to truly make me go away, vanish from even Slashdot much less the Internet or the face of the Earth, so what's your endgame here? Do you honestly think what you're doing is going to cause me to run away in shame?
Find something constructive to do with your time. This isn't it.

I won't be running. I'll be ignoring you. You waste your own time and prove your irrelevance with every one of these screeds. I'm hardly the first person who's occupied so much of your attention and time, either. Too bad for you....
