Filter ads and to protect from accidents, trust kids, but verify by logging or checking PC's occasionally. Don't make a big deal about it until you see something objectionable.
Limiting night time access is probably good if your kids have a bedtime, if they are free rangers who pass out in the hallway like my neighbors 3 year old, let them have all night access since you obviously can't invest the time to parent.
Talk to your kids, teach your kids, but parenting also requires setting rules and dishing out consequences.
Nobody has mentioned thin client yet, for shame. I use NoMachine on my home server. You could limit external browsing to that machine only. Give them a published firefox session. Their PC's won't get malware and they can save file to their network drive and transfer them to their pc if need be. Teach them to save on the network, please god, teach them to save on the network...
Yeah, kids will get around things, but if they are using the pc when they shouldn't be, I'm going to know if the case is cut up or the password has been bypassed. That's half the battle.
some level of filtering is appropriate, if someone would have filtered out that first goatsex image (the one burned into my brain), or tubgirl. I would be eternally grateful.
There is a lot of nasty stuff it's easy for kids to stumble into.
Awhile back I downloaded some ebooks, I don't have the title available right now. They were a history of the 1920's, a history of the 1930's, and a history of 1900 - 1950. Very interesting reading.
The author, writing this in 1950, could have been talking about current events. It really opened my eyes. So, don't give me bullshit about "the good old days". They don't exist.

1 opensuse "Home Server"
-- I waffle between OpenSUSE and Ubuntu because frankly Ubuntu has many more software packages avaliable. However, OpenSUSE is easier to maintain IMHO, especially for a headless system. The hardware support is also better, things are more likely to work under OpenSUSE.

The catholic church does not believe non-believers deserve any punishment. Maybe pre-vatican 2 they did, but the Catholic church has grown and embraces other religions and people.
Man is a much more mature species then it was in the past, our religions have also matured. Too bad some people still prefer "the good old days", which really means better for me, and better for someone is always worse for someone else...
Well you can't tax a person, because they just demand more money for the job they are already doing for less. You distort the market and hurt the people trying to hire people and build for the economy while at the same time watering down the value of your currency.
Yeah, nobody ever got lynched back in the day... br>
Bullying has been around forever, and it's killed many times in the past. We are less culturally accepting, so it's news now.
to be fair, it would take afew seconds to load each floppy, so 100 floppies, times 10 seconds (loading and copying)= 1000 seconds / 60 = less then 17 minutes to move all your data to a new media, and next time you need to do so it would be more like 3 minutes.
I've been rotating an archive drive for 2 years, we had a set of 4 and yes, one of the cadi's broke a tab so it wouldn't lock into the server, but it still worked fine, as did the server side of the hardware. After 2 years we upgraded the server and the archive drive size. But the old archive drives are shelved and ready, they still work. New server has been in use for a year.
Yeah, if I want to store something in a vault for 50 years, tape is probably better. If you want to store company data, probably going back 2-5 years, disk is way better. It's lightning fast (compared to tape), to transfer that data to a new drive if you necessary. The number of times you can write to a disk is way higher then the number of writes any tape supports.
I don't see the benefit of tape for most companies where data is a living thing.
Thank you, that is very is very good to know. I didn't know you could get around the DNS issue for a SOCKS proxy.
I went ahead and set up my home server for NX (nomachine) and I run a firefox window on my desktop that is really on my server. Bonus is I can disconnect it and reconnect it. It will still be where I left it. The firewall here blocks most ports other then the standards, 22 is open and NX has no problems
GPO is much more powerful then a proxy. I can allow users to view sites but no downloads or java, I can say this site is trusted so you can download things and use javascripts (or activeX). I can push out a list of bookmarks or install a certificate.

mind posting a copy of the AUP, or email a fellow parent?

I use opendns for filtering, then I just point my own computers DNS elsewhere.

funny shit....

See what I did there?
More laws, that's what we get for electing lawyers.

It would be morally wrong for him to answer that and risk influencing your decision to change your reality.
Good advice, I need to do more networking.

technologists should not be afraid to learn...
Yeah, but you better have that bachelor's degree too. I have an AS, with 10 years of experience. I am very good and very dedicated.
However, many if not most organizations around here (midwest) will not even interview someone without a bachelor's degree.
I tend toward IT in non IT companies.

We us Unitrends, check it out.
It sounds like that's what there is, TFA states he used another employee's account.
insidious...
Hopefully you are training them to use a regular account for normal work and only elevate their privileges when they need to.

Check out unitrends. They do very good d2d backup systems, very inexpensive, handles open files and replicates between units if you have multiple.
