  • switch routing? what is that? and what solution do you use for packet inspection?

  • Eh, if it's an open-source application where you can review the code to confirm that the software isn't tracking you, then it's not an issue.

    you can't review what's running on the actual server, what did your local admin add to it.

  • you could use a VPN though. protonvpn has measures to work around network restrictions, or set up a wireguard at home, and if they would block it, tell them you need it for work. your own notes related to the trade and your task planning tool stored on your homeserver, or something like that.

    but this assumes you work in tech

  • Teams in browser is the only way that I use it either, and it isn't "broken" like it used to be, but you need to use a Chromium based browser.

    so, it's broken. Either buggy, or just straight up not follow common web standards

  • firefox or a fork of it, but I would be surprised if teams could read wifi info even in chrome. this is about when you install it as a desktop app, so that it can collect more data and consume more memory than it would otherwise.

  • if all goes to plan this would provide them more access to patches and other info

  • Windows has Limited User account, Family Safety in the control panel, and a advanced Firewall. 3rd party Net Nanny was\is a net filtering\alerting software that had visiting-server-side support in case the kid knew how to onion route or obfuscate a url or ip.

    limited, as in, not an administrator? that does not help much with limiting a kids computer use.

    family safety only works for the microsoft edge browser, which is not at all private. and it seems it requires a microsoft account, and accepting its shitty terms of service and privacy policy.

    netnanny seems to require a microsoft account too.

    Androids can install firewall software like PersonalDNSFilter, AdGuardDNS, or RethinkDNS (the premium version creates for you a custom dns server -- no software needed.

    and they can't be just disabled by the user of the device, right?

    these and pihole.. are useful but not for this. even if they can't disable the system VPN app, the kid just enables secure DNS in either firefox or chrome, and bam! its worked around.

  • like the possibility to completely disable the data lines in the USB port

    the fairphone 4 can do that, calyxos makes use of it

  • what would you consider a better vendor? samsung, xiaomi, oneplus? those all have been plenting more and more malware into their phones from the factory, sometimes making it seem like a feature, and recently they started to bar owners from replacing the OS on it by taking away the option to unlock the bootloader

  • this is not a checkbox, but a date field. and the hard part is, KDE needs to implement it, other desktops need to implement it too, and somehow it has to be fit into the existing linux user database that does not have a dedicated place for information like this.

    it also means using older operating systems became illegal, including windows 7, xp, etc. including, if you just happen to have an old unused computer with an OS that does not yet support this thing.

  • It's not really easily bypassed though, if only the administrator can set the date of birth for an account. if the parent does not use the admin account for daily usage (and they shouldn't for other reasons), then the majority of the children won't be able to change it

  • And it is speaking of widely available tools that are already available such as parental controls in routers, devices, etc.

    widely available? what kind of parental controls are available in

    • windows
    • linux
    • ungoogled android

    ?

  • how will the parent do the parenting when the kid can do whatever on the phone given to them when the parent is not around?

    parental control software is (supposed to be) what it says it on the tin: software that lets the parent to set up limitations on the device.

    built in parental controls are supposed to be options, that the owner can opt into and out of it.

  • not imprison them, but maybe taking away or limiting child support. but that will 100% not work with the rich.

    forcing the parents to install parental control software.. that would be like, here are these approved options, and you like it or not you must use them despite their privacy policies.instead commercial operating systems (windows, googlified android) could be required to have parental controls built in, and free software systems could apply for funding to implement it, or some other kind of collaboration.

    but this is not capitalistic so it wont happen.

  • afaik parental controls do not exist on degoogled android. windows has it with third party tools, linux does not have any

  • are the media files redownloaded from other servers when someone tries to load them? I guess all local media is lost forever, but maybe not remote ones

  • Make regular backups of the DB.

    tbh that should apply to any kind of selfhosted service, especially when its not only for you

  • I don't know, I would not recommend kubernetes to most people not already familiar with it, but especially to beginners. It's too many moving parts, and fir most selfhosted setups, its capabilities are not needed I think.

  • that's ridiculous. not even linux is that secure, unless you only store the luks keys on ramdisk haha
