Those who like USB
Those who understand USB

@Allen My older son picked a lock before he turned 2. My younger son built his own computer (with help from mom) at 3.
I basically am going to accidentally make the stars of a heist show, and I'm ok with that.
But honestly, kids love to learn everything. And we all know enough to be a friend and mentor to a kid. Don't sell yourself short for raising awesome kids. The kids may be alright, but parenting is hard work, and doing it *matters*

I concur. This is why even when I'm at my worst, I don't bail.
That, and I swore I would be a far better parent than my mother was despite my mental health issues. She walked out on us when I was 10. My youngest is 11. I sometimes have to remind myself I am factually better than my mother, despite being far more mentally ill.
I'll take that W. 😎
(Thanks for the assist)

Remember when Boeing was assassinating whistleblowers?
Why is no one up in arms about that? We have more important assassins to be chasing.

@benda I am not a fan of murder as a solution! But like, there's a reason why it's happening! We're not... stopping it
And fuck - people need to stop being hypocrites where we don't show *horror* that people killing people in masses, but get upset because one murderer got vigilante justice

To be clear - Piketty wanted to continue capitalism and said that if we didn't make it slightly less garbage people would die.
I guess no one started the process of even making it slightly equitable, so I guess we're on the other path.

@💞 eva 💞 I will never learn to use a camera
I'm using an R01 (the RISC-V one) because I wanted the cool form factor, but also needed to justify it with a weird CPU to play with.
I really want to love the DevTerm but the keboard is in a magical place to be annoying no matter how it's held, but if I use an external keyboard it' *wonderful*.
I should save this work for loading into Koha

There is nsh: nmedia.net/nsh/
It can be installed via pkg_add nsh
It's really hard to be in free software spaces. So many are so libertarian and kinda fashy.
I had someone try to get me on side by saying "When I said group of kids, I meant gang"

My 5yo just asked me "Was Andre the Giant smarter than you"
What the fuck do you say to that?!

Built an F-Droid repo for my kids inside our local network. Added games and basic apps, let the kid tablets work without unfettered internet.
F Droid wont let me use a self signed cert because, I guess, the CA system is good

@Julian Foad It was a little thorny to setup, but it probably would be pretty simple! F-Droid is pretty friendly.
apt-get install fdroid server
fdroid init
fdroid update --create-keys
put apks in the repo folder
fdroid update -c
fdroid update
then point a webserver at the repo dir.
not saying that *anyone* can do that - but it's well within the ability to make an ansible playbook for!
But yeah - letting my 5yo install and remove apps gives him power without exposing him to the wider internet

I asked my church music director if he had a HAM license today, and he replied he never got into radio. I then had to ask how we'd run a pirate radio station together.
One day I'll be a HAM

@Hypolite Petovan why thank you!
But I wanna be an amateur radio operator!
