I think having kids has made me more ambitious than I was before, certainly recently. One has some extra needs, that have come to light over the last few years, so I've spent most evenings and the odd weekend over the last 2 years tryi

And then we have the Freddo comparison [0] over here as well, not in skinkflation terms, but in a how is that going up in price terms (Although I've seen them at 39p recently, so probably out of date) [0] https://thefreddoin

I've been running this[0] for a few years now, moved it a couple of days ago to a portainer VM on proxmox with 6GB ram, its running perfectly fine for 3 of us, and works fine from tablets and PC. Can also run on the nintendo switch if

To add a data point, my kids are not allowed on any social media and don't have phones. (They have iPads, but they are locked down and blocked at home anyway) But that doesn't stop them seeing things on social media - when they ar

Maybe I just don't surf the web as much anymore, but everything I use or click on works in Firefox on Linux, I can't remember the last time I found something that didn't work (other than some Show HN fancy graphics thing)

"don't know about the secret shortcut way to do that, it is very annoying to get one" Is that a US thing? Because in the UK you just get one for free - Companies House sends the info over to them, and a couple of days later i

I remember when I first started out in a job that I should have a green poster nearby to look at to "relax your eyes" every now and then.

And then how does public wifi work? Stand outside a Weatherspoons, or just walk down a highstreet with free internet, back to square one

I noticed this a couple of years ago too, I just ignored the letters, continued to receive the emails, and they stopped sending me letters about it /shrug

Whilst I do kinda agree, I was just replying to the parent about what the punishment would probably be :) But the problem is that people are NOT managing their own kids' shit, and now we have to have things put in place to try and coun

There's a giant difference between stopping kids having full reign on what is now essentially the whole world of information - and instant access to strangers, than there is making sure they eat healthy, help out, and don't have b

Yea, I think anyone who grew up at the start of the internet in homes realises just how different it is now, and that teaching your kids about how to be safe online etc is an important part of parenting. But we are at the point where we hav

Yep, I bought a separate all-in-one computer that is in the living room, in full view of everyone else, so we can keep an eye on what is going on when they are using it. We also have pi-hole running that blocks a lot of things, and can turn

Not a fan of soft deleting, but as I sit here I wonder if using an RLS policy to limit to anything without a deleted field would make the whole “forgetting a where” a bit easier? I’m not sure the performance would be great though
