Brain Fillers

tEppy's Humhub Site - a sample install from the PHP Package Installers.

Works much like Facebook but can be setup to be entirely org-wide only.

Registration's open if you want to try it out. I un-checked the need for admin approval after registration...because we have that option, of course! 😁 

With my vision of transitioning the LGU's services from paper-based to a digital one, I remembered one key thought that was constantly being reiterated by the BPO Companies I worked for: during onboardings, refresher every year, team huddles --- you name it. 

This was because, especially we're in the digital age, handling information securely should be one of --- if not the --- top priorities of everyone, of every organization.

And let's be honest: without being negative/degrading of the description, we are well-aware that most of our LGU employees (even in the national level) were born before-the-technology-boom era. Add to that the fact that Information Security, along with other key concepts of the digital era, is not formally being taught to them, proper handling of these data they're interacting with everyday exposes everyone at risk.

With that, I tried creating a sample "Introduction to Information Security" presentation. While I do not consider myself an expert on the field, I believe that this initial template for discussion flow can be used by speakers more knowledgeable than me in educating everyone of the Do's and Don't's when it comes to digital data handling.

I hope to have to witness somebody discussing points covered in this presentation along with their own inputs someday.

So I mentioned that I grew up without the luxury of money (if you read the About Me page), right? With that, it became automatic to me to find "free" alternatives for softwares that interest me.

Set aside the free movies and series web apps that's plenty available today (at the cost of ads and privacy concerns), I found almost everything I needed scattered across the internet.

And to have them available everytime I need them, of course, I needed reliable storages. Flashdrives just won't suffice, tho. I compiled useful installers for every clean installation of the Windows OS I did and they cannot all fit into a few usb pen drives. External Hard Drives also are not that reliable as, aside from being prone to failures and data corruption, often, I need pen drives as bootable media. (For that, I use Rufus.)

Luckily, there are generous companies offering free tiers of their file servers to their customers. Terabox and MediaFire are a few of the bests I think there currently is. And I mentioned them first for they're where my saved files are. Without auto-deletions in place like that of Google Drive or OneDrive. 

(I mentioned free, right? And by free, it may mean actually or partly free, cr*cked, or pir*ted. 😅 Rest-assured I am not a computer geek to be able to modify them and include m*lwares, so, if they come with some, it was not me. I swear! Hit me up if you want to check some of the copies I saved in Terabox as they're publicly available as long as you have an account with them. I'll send you direct links. 😉)

I don't know who needs this... or who does not need this.

But yeah, I've been using MS365 for free.

I don't know who, too, made this publicly available but if you do not know what to search for, you won't find this information. Interests in trying-out modified Windows OS (purely for educational purposes) lead me to finding this gem a few years back.

And without anymore flowery introductions, here's MassGrave. 

Use it at your own risk. I am sharing this here, again, purely for educational purposes. 😝

Instructions are very simple and you just need, perhaps, a burner PC or a virtual machine if you are un-trusting enough but wants to check what MS365 offers without paying. 😁

There's a lot I can write in here but... lemme take a break for the meantime. 😁
