Hello-
I just picked up my daughters' report cards for the year (they did well,
thank-you) and was approached by the school administrator about writing
an Acess application to help track attendance for next year
(excused/unexcused, after so many unexcused absences a letter will be
generated, etc.). Since I have a feel for how large this request will
become, I googled for school administration software on the Python site
and was pleased to get 312 "hits". There's software out there but --
alas -- it's difficult to tell what is being used, what people think,
what's being maintained, etc.
So...do any of you have experience with any of this software? This is
for a small (~400 students k-12), private school that is not swimming in
taxpayer dollars and I would rather use Open Source because we will
probably need to customize some reports, etc. Any advice you have would
be welcome.
Thanks,
--greg

You may want to take a look at:

A low cost, but pretty mature package is also available:

I don't have personal experience, but Google turned
these up quickly.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

I am currently learning how to create and manage the different types of VPNs and I have a question about LAN-to-LAN VPNs.
The last exercise I practiced was to create a LAN-to-LAN VPN between two Pfsense firewalls, by using IPSEC protocols.
I succeeded, with both firewalls in the same network. But I'm wondering if it's possible to do the same thing, with 2 Pfsense firewalls...
