      Please don’t do this. People working at libraries aren’t paid enough to deal with that bullshit.

        We pxe boot into a custom live diskless distro that reboots after use. The network these live in is hardened.

          I don’t. I don’t work for a library, but judging from my local library branch, they don’t have the funding to retain competent IT staff. This isn’t about what they could or should do. It’s about not being an asshole to people that are already barely hanging on with what they have.
