Happy to share that #BoxyBSD remains up!
Recently I got asked about my @BoxyBSD project, which offers free VPS instances of vary #BSD based systems for learning and educational purposes and I'm happy to share that this projects remains available. Several things could finally be clarified to continue this service to make sure people can learn and practice on real #FreeBSD, #OpenBSD, #NetBSD systems to #RUNBSD. Also, BoxyBSD starts moving over to #Sylve on #bhyve.
But not only that! We could also get some more new resources and locations to scale and this also brings up another new project for #free Linux #VPS instances at https://boxedtux.com (Fedi: @BoxedTux) where people will be able to learn and practice on different #Linux based distributions (e.g., #Debian, #Ubuntu, #Rocky,...). BoxedTux utilizes #Proxmox clusters as a foundation.
Hope you like this small update... Over & out!

He Was Fired for Sexually Harassing Students. California Allowed Him to Keep Teaching Anyway.
---
Math teacher Jason Agan was deemed “unfit to teach.” But the finding was never made public. This is how the state allowed him — and dozens of other educators found to have committed sexual harassment or misconduct — to keep their credentials.

After a year-long “investigation”, the #Trump #DOJ concluded that #Yale School of Medicine “discriminated” based on race in its admissions, favoring Black & Hispanic applicants over White & Asian ones, the agency said Thursday.

#YaleLawSchool Fights to Stop #Trump “Deal”
#Yale #University has been in talks to resolve investigations into its admissions practices. The law school’s dean & some faculty have argued a deal could compromise its independence. [ya think?]

Just a reminder that Vancouver School Board have still given no pedagogical reason for making Copilot available in schools.
They have so far said:
"AI is inevitable."
That's a belief, not a reason.
"Students need to learn how to use AI."
It takes 10 minutes of on-the-job training.
🧠🇸🇪 Swedish #education officials are scaling back digital device usage in schools after reports indicated a decline in basic #literacy skills.
The new strategy prioritizes printed #books and handwriting to support cognitive focus and deep #reading. #Research suggests that physical materials enhance memory retention and reading comprehension compared to digital screens.

A new intro post, as I'm in a new chapter.
I'm Monzz, she/her. I've lived all around but I'm based in the #UK now.
By day, I work in computer science #education. After hours, I'm a massive #gamer (ask me what I'm playing at the moment), I'm a #scifi / #fantasy #worldbuilding nerd and I do a bit of #writing.
I love my #houseplants and #gadgets.
I like #roleplaying, storytelling, gamification and imaginary worlds. I was raised by the internet in the mid 2000's and would like to rebuild some community links here.

New from Josephine Lee: No state has taken over as many public school districts as #Texas. Since 2020, the Texas Education Agency has installed its own hand-picked leaders in eight districts. Four of those came just this spring. At least another 10 are at risk of takeover. https://www.texasobserver.org/mike-miles-tea-school-takeovers-charter-austin-fort-worth-houston/

#Trump actions signal a move toward #institutionalizing people with #disabilities
For decades, #disabled people have fought for their #rights to go to school & live alongside peers without disabilities — rights that some fear could be losing ground under Trump.
Last month, the Dept of #Education announced it would shift oversight of #SpecialEducation to #HHS, led by #RFKJr, whose comments on disabilities such as autism are 🦇💩.

In 2023, New Mexico’s AG ordered an investigation into one school district after ProPublica and New Mexico In Depth revealed Native students were expelled more often than any other group.
The investigation confirmed “substantial racial disparities.”
