Your job as sysadmin is to adhere to your organization’s policy, no matter how stupid and hindering that policy might seem to you.
You’re knowingly giving your users a workaround to their NDA, which puts all of your jobs and your data confidentiality at risk.
You’ve got no business with root privileges.
Kids are already coming out of school computer illiterate. They know how to use specific applications, but don’t know things like directory hierarchy. Onboarding young people into working with general office productivity like SharePoint, or giving them a real grown up laptop instead of an ipad is like teaching boomers to open PDFs all over again. All the same old training and helpdesk calls.
the solution is the same as it was 30 years ago: computer class where they deep dive into how the things work, not just how Microsoft and Apple decide the things are used.
Woah TIL that because I’m admin, I’m self hosting an entire enterprise of nearly 50,000 users.
Just read Hitchhiker’s Guide. Marvin would count, but there’s also depressed doors and other unfortunately sentient objects.
Not everyone can just rUn DeBiAn on networks they don’t own, and there’s reasons to run the less free distributions.
If you’re not rebooting, even Debian, for kernel, libc, and other low level security vulnerabilities, you’re running a dogwater enterprise.
If you can’t manage vendor recommended reboots and package update cycles on any distribution without causing an outage, you’re a dogwater sysadmin.
No one gives a shit about uptime anymore.
most enterprises who need the kind of scale that a Microsoft enterprise agreement even makes sense are paying just as much for Redhat or similar.
“free” is not really a consideration in the selection.
This is an old take. Modern Linux management includes plenty of restarts and updates. Sometimes just as many as windows, especially with modern enterprises plugging heavy kennel-space agents into their Linux images.
Both ecosystems have adapted to the routine reboot annoyances, so it’s no longer a real differentiator.
The most correct answer so far is Win11 IoT. But there’s a good chance it won’t have enough “windows” for your school needs.
If you’re just trying to get work done and not trying to stick it to the man with the purity test that this thread seems to insist upon, you can install normally and force an offline user. (Microsoft keeps threatening to kill this capability, it still worked last time I tried early last year.)
Then run Chris Titus debloat utility before you set up anything else.
If you don’t have a registration, you can activate it with massgrave.dev.
Self signed for this use case is fine. you know and trust both ends of your connection, and no one else needs to know or trust either end of the connection.
We’re still stuck with abiding by their regulations, so anything they do, corrupt or not is relevant.
It’s the nut recessed? If not, you can use a splitter on it.

This reply is the closest thing to good advice in this thread.
The only thing that’s going to get that out without cutting a slot is a tack weld. Which will likely burn the wood. Just cut a slot. You can find another aged carriage bolt to replace it.
lol I started to reply, suggesting a recommendation feature to help find non-algorithmic tech feeds but then realized that’s exactly how all this started.
While I support the idea of using RSS readers to break free from algorithmic and/or AI curated feeds, I’ve mostly stopped bothering, since all the content that gets into the feeds has become algorithmic, AI slop.
There’s just no escaping it these days.

missing a way to find out what they do without installing them
At the very top of the project page it says:
Termix is a web-based server management platform with SSH terminal, tunneling, and file editing capabilities.
Now you know what it does without installing it
You’re confusing a lack of handholding with gatekeeping.
beginner friendly solution, something with a UI, fewer manual configs…
First, you’re not entirely right. you can get a ton of self hosting done with things like Synology or Home assistant, and never see the complexity. You might get owned by a botnet, but it “works.”
Self hosting securely has a steep learning curve, there’s no way around that. What you’re asking for is for someone to write programs that’ll let you skip the learning curve.
GitHub is littered with abandoned attempts at doing this. You bury your lede by mentioning “your project” at the end. It’s your project going to be another well intentioned attempt that’s eventually abandoned or causes more problems than it solves?
in Powershell, yes. the cmdlet naming convention is Verb-CamelCase.
Only specific verbs are allowed as well. It works if the convention is broken, but it’ll complain when you import them as a module.
it does not.
.gov.fr. is a subdomain of .fr., unrelated to .gov…

this isn’t hard. there’s a whole fuckin universe established.
