In regards to wearing, oh I know how that is. I have a desktop tower with a motherboard containing a nearly-popped capacitor. I ceased usage of it immediately once I made the discovery.

This reminds me quite often about integrating Science into this section, it would be more complete and attracting more people to come into this section.

I'm pretty sure that some science topics wouldn't interest anyone in C&T at the moment - it seems to be best relegated to the general off-topic sub-forum.
 
Oh man you guys, if science becomes a section, I'm going to end up spending all my time there. xD

Although I'm not sure if C&T is the perfect place to do it, it's the closest thing to science we have in the forums. :p
 
Does anyone know of a truly free blogging platform, that isn't tumblr, wordpress, jekyll, hexo, ghost, or any social networks? I have access only to static-content servers and blogging services that provide servers.

Why aren't you using a WSUS server with that many PCs? Or are you not involved in the WSUS side of things?

We are using a WSUS in house, but we also own over 90 stores across the country and I have to do the IT for them, some of them franchises, so they buy their own PC's, it's a nightmare, I'll be honest!

Blogger :P

But in all seriousness, why not Wordpress? I find that they're a fairly easy service to use.

That definitely sounds nightmarish. I'm betting they don't even consult corporate for machines.

90 sites sounds like a bit of a nightmare in its own right. We've got 4 sites and 3 of us in our department (granted, 3 of the sites are 24/7 sites and the 4th site is corporate, and we cover far more than just our ~200 PCs), and even with all our infrastructure in place, that can be crazy. If you had any clout, you could probably force those sites to comply to corporate's rules, but I doubt IT has any teeth in your organization.

No I mean, using Public DNS. I know everyone of us uses DNS but some are using Public DNS.

Not particularly bad, no. Hell, many public ones I've found to be more reliable than the ones provided by my ISP. Particularly the ones Google hosts. (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4)

Absolutely it's a nightmare, we have a 'minimum spec' that the stores have to buy, but they are the only restrictions, and, up until recently, the policy wasn't enforced! Many of the machines are still using XP, thankfully next month; we are getting over 200 i3's in to replace the outdated machines. Which will make my life easier in the long run, but it's going to be tough going setting them all up :)

Wordpress is nice, however, literally everybody is using it. If you're wanting a professional-looking website, Wordpress is almost too cheap to use. As for blogging software, I use Grav. It's free and really easy to set up providing you have all the software it needs (Which I think it only needs PHP and some extras from it).

I've started to use anchor. I like it for per-post custom css, and it runs well on an raspberry pi.

I definitely agree with you here. Grav is extraordinary as a CMS, and really is super easy to set up. It's fast and open source too. I haven't really done much with it but I did once test it out, out of boredom, really, and I loved it. If I ever need a CMS for any reason, Grav is definitely at the top of my list.

Nice. What i3 PCs are you bringing in? A hodgepodge? Or all one specific unit?

Also, if you've got the opportunity to mass-image, that'll be your best friend for prepping. Configuring for each site's needs or each PC's individual needs would definitely be a huge pain, though.

Hopefully our imaging server will be able to take it, although with 200+ PC's i can expect some things to go wrong :P

These are what we are looking at:

Last question, is Jailbreaking/Rooting actually bad? I actually see people getting their Phones/Tablets broken after they jailbroke/rooted it. But mine actually works so yeah.
