Or, you know, it’s fake…

They got to the kitchen, got the ingredients and then balanced them and then responded within 1 minute?

Hello fellow web surfers. I am finally joining you on the internet super highway. A/S/L?

Room 237

I’ve always been like this. Sadly my wife finds controversy at every turn and I get dragged in.

Why not? It’s another useful area to use as a backup.

Use Cryptomator. You can then use any cloud storage provider knowing they can’t read your files.

I said I wish I hadn’t purchased the PS5 due to the poor library of games in comparison to the PS4 era on Reddit. Proceeded to get downvotes.

We looked after a cafe who had a couple of PC’s to use that gave internet access. Yes this was a while ago, way before smartphones and wifi. The PC’s had some software that allowed internet access for a set duration based on how long they had purchased. This software was managed by an NT4 Server backend.
The owner called one day to say nothing works. When I got there, NT4 has been wiped and replaced with Windows 98. Apparently one of the university student baristas was asked to help when they had an issue. The owner was trying to save money from calling us out. Fixing this mess was way pricier than whatever was wrong previously!

Useless red circle

Wait. Technical project managers exist?

Comparison, the killer of all joy

uBlock Origin has cookie management under the ‘Annoyances’ filter. I got rid of Ghostery because of these filters.

I could hear what he was saying but he was talking quite fast which makes it harder to understand.

Ahoy is like this. His videos are awesome though.

That’s the point yes. At some point I’m sure they will work it out. But they haven’t yet. Luckily the eldest is lazy. If he wasn’t he would have read the email he got when he was 13 which meant he could leave the family group which I also use to turn off their devices for bed time…

They find ways yes. When I was blocking YouTube I found him watching YouTube via Spotify. Not sure how that worked. But I blocked that too as a result.

I don’t think they have anything currently as when it’s blocked you see them outside their bedrooms a lot more!

13, 12, 9

Sure. But they aren’t at that age to be aware. To be honest unless someone is clued up the average person wouldn’t know either.

I’ve ran Pihole for years but switched to NextDNS. It gives me more control over my kids access.
For example scheduled access to YouTube and Roblox. Also, since it’s a public service it means I can block them regardless of network. So for example when we are on holiday. My eldest worked out he could use network data on his phone to avoid the Pihole.

Oh, and it’s DNS over TLS so queries are now encrypted rather than plain text that regular DNS.

None of this will block YouTube ads though. For that I use NewPipe or Firefox and uBlock Origin.
