@walden This conversation feels like it has taken a dark turn and could be used against me in court one day …but to be clear…houses generally dont have basements in new zealand

@hoppolito Oh cool. Ok. I have plenty to learn there

@GreenKnight23 I aggree totally but comparing their LLM to the 2.5 year old… Its consideribly more advanced… though it still seems to overuse words like ‘why’, ‘when’ and 'do you have $20 for this game"

@irmadlad I’m not saying that I am actually achieving that … lol …

@pinball_wizard With a Luanti server does every Minecraft player still need a Minecraft licence?

@possiblylinux127 @poVoq Yeah at tis stage I’d like to have a closed environment for them.

@irmadlad Thanks. I live a long way away amd only get to visit occasionally so as they get older the opportunity to do things together online is important to me.

@BlameThePeacock Yeah I think I will get some light switches and see if we can do some rouitines.

Wow I really appreciate the feedback. After quite a bit of changes and home moves that disrupted alot of what selfhosted stuff I setup, a bit of disallusionment with doing it alone and difficulty staying connected with my nephew remotely these give me some good ideas. I need to find out more about Minecraft and hosting a server sounds like a good idea, I liked the simple coding with audio feedback as well. Its motivating me to get messgaing and chat sorted out as well. I am also going to see if I can find some shared #Spanish #languagelearning tools.

@ewigkaiwelo @Tolookah Yunohost has an integrated xmpp server I think

@eli I have an old Windows laptop. I need to figure out how to do dual boot with Linux … and get my vpn sorted (again) so he can use VMs on my Proxmox box

@IanTwenty Hey this looks cool. Will see if he gets into it

Haha the one word he knows is #Minecraft so yeah it sounds like that will be task one. I can do that on a #Proxmox server I have.

@PotatoesFall Whatever you do … do the same thing at your house and use one to offsite backup the other.

@piyuv @PotatoesFall Actually their licence is Polyform noncommercial github.com/getumbrel/umbrel/bl… and their app packaging is docker based github.com/getumbrel/umbrel-ap… @888coop - have you seen this?

@piyuv @PotatoesFall I mean its running a proprietary os software and its terms of service say “the company is under no obligation to provide support or maintenance services.” … so I woukd say rather than being dependent on a random company that may disapear in a puff of smoke. Why not just use opensource software on commodity hardware and use something like #yunohost?

@Twoafros I think there was another platform/software that did events, posts, collaboration for community groups… I just cant remember the name …

@ademir I was thinking the child account could be a function/ feature added to #mastodon or #freindica

@anon5621 I was thinking that ideally the services would be run by parents or community groups or perhaps Parent Teacher associations. The main thing was that there would be a #commonbond between the group of people using the server.

@sem I’m struggling to hear any feedback from other #discourse forums that have implemented it. There seeems to be scepticism from forum administrators that somehow fediverse activity might impact their #moderation but the links to the content on forums are public anyway and just because its federated doesn’t mean someone can actually post/comment in the discourse forum.
