I’m planning on building a server that rips channels videos and they can have the app for that.

We are a no YouTube without our explicit permission on the video kinda household. Too much actual brainrot. And as much as I don’t like Television, at least my kids are mentally protected from bullshit with the Children’s Television Protection Act.

Raising them right. I have a 28 year old college grad sys admin that I work with…I had to show him where windows updates were.

He uses windows search to open settings…bachelors degree in IT.

Yea, my job at work now is to do this but all day lol. I build my network/firewall/and shit and then go around trying to break as much shit as I can so I can fix it.

I remember when proxies were easy to find and you could get to the most ridiculous stuff. We had college intern system admins for IT at our HS so it was easier to get by alot of things most of the time.

Old dusty balls still knockin around by my knees but you better be god damn sure I’m fuckin.

I learned electronics through my Dad that way too. And my kids learn through me with this stuff. But if they ask me over and over again to do something, it’s their burden to go research what they need to learn to stop asking me. And it’s usually done with my guidance. I’m not actually flippant with them with their questions lol

I’m starting to get to a point in my career where I have to turn down helping my family.

I strongly encourage the elderly to “just get an iPad” if they have an iPhone and just drop x86 devices all together. It’s way less headache.

Luckily my mom’s still young and proficient enough with computers and phones.

I agree but bing.com is really what they are using because it has the parental controls that coincide with their signed in account.

When they get older and are more “free” on the Internet I’ll migrate them to Linux, I’ll let them choose the DE and then they can do what ever they want.

Most parents done feel like raising theirs either. They just stuff them on a tablet and do their thing.

You assumed absolutely wayyy to much based on a single sentence and virtue signal your superiority based on your own fantasy of what’s going on with inconclusive data. Move along.

I have the Microsoft safety shit on, and I made every site they can go to a web app. My router blocks nsfw/nonkid traffic. My phone gets notifications when they do anything at all.

And I have extensions blocking all nsfw sites just in case. And I’ve nuked the entry for any web browser on their start menu and task bars. Can’t even scroll to find it. If you open it, it requires my admin PW, which is 14char #$@-123-ABC so good luck turds.

Steam is locked down in kid mode - also they just play Roblox or cool math games anyways lol. Steam has browser disabled.

Only things they have access to is Bing.com with their signed in kid account. And coolmathgames.com.

It took about a week on and off to setup and I just did the two laptops in tandem. Windows 11.

The family thing can be a pain, Microsoft has a lot of half baked ideas https://www.tomsguide.com/computing/how-to-set-up-parental-controls-on-a-windows-11-pc

92 here. My boys 10 and 8 have their own machines, they are told to Google it first before I come help.

“I’m not raising end users…get your shit together kid.”

Love,

SysEngineer Dad.

It’s been months. …my mom is my biggest villain in my journey to winning the game.

The IT department knows. They chuckle when the scans come back.

I read that whole thing in public and I think I’m gonna have to turn my phone off now.

Pidgen.dll enters the chat.

Lutris has some easy installers to make it easier. I just have portable versions of my games for LAN parties that don’t jive with wine, proton or lutris without dancing around dx9, or .dll issues

Oooh derp, had I taken a second to think about my response I would have mentioned that. I’m using cinnamon default. Wayland experimental is my only other option.
