  • Ya, there’s no easy fix and I’m not an expert but it seems most of my kids friends (parents) version of parental controls on their devices was “Good luck, we’re all counting on you”

    It needs to be easier for the average parent l. I bet if you put a hard roadblock in front of Google, Apple, Microsoft regarding not being able to release an app, an os unless it met some formalized level of parental controls and they’d figure it out pretty quick.


  • Ya my kid is 16 now and the total lack of any real unified parental controls has been extremely disappointing through the years.

    For the longest time my kid was on android phones (because I’m on Android phones) which had family link which did “ok” but not enough control, YouTube for example was too restrictive based on age and I couldn’t adjust it.

    Windows PC had family safety which also had various random controls but they really only worked for straight up Ms products (so edge was installed) and locked down installing other browsers

    Neither of these are great and they require someone to dig through, setup, and ADMINISTER these things

    I added pihole into the mix because I’m me and was able to. Trying to further filter my kids’ access to things I didn’t want them to stumble onto.

    Now enter roblox which in reality I should have just said no and not them on it. But that did IMHO lead to discord which much like Roblox if you have “Discord” the door is now open to adult content.

    Discord, unless I hover over and block servers (at domain) or through hovering, discord was another gateway to adult content.

    No unified way to protect kids and these tech companies didn’t help

    “Adult content” just means anything not appropriate for an 8yo politics, war, porn whatever…

    All these gateway applications companies should be responsible for those lack of containment restrictions for kids, or tying into something unified would have been even better.

    A true nightmare managing all that!


  • NAS running ~15 docker (frigate, nextcloud, immich, plex etc), two windows VMs one is managing my NAS backups to cloud.

    Couple RPIs one does Home assistant, one does pihole and weewx.

    All my Network gear, and poe for APs and a few of my cameras,

    2 x 12 channel whole house amps fed by 11 Chromecast audios (that’s going to be a disaster one day)

    That “idles” just under 300w but can obviously jump all over.

    Rest of my security cameras are poe from another location (since I couldn’t get the network drops back to the server room for the majority of the cameras, uses another 65w , but that’s a bit misleading as it is picking up other things since it’s not as isolated.

    I still haven’t seen any clear footage of the timeline of events / who did what first etc… But if they (Argentina player(s)) came over and instigated a fight after the game as this article alludes to, they should be banned for at least one season. This shouldn’t be acceptable and consequences should be handed out. They’ve been given way too much leeway across the board for their antics.
