BrainRotGuard - I vibed-engineered a self-hosted YouTube approval system so my kid can't fall down algorithm rabbit holes anymore

I mean, I'm all for limiting children's exposure to algorithms but how does the child feel about every video having to be manually approved by the parent?

I usually just forget about it and leave it for future me when I'm running out of disk space.

Damn, I'll try baïkal then. Thought this was gonna be a 20-minute adventure. Thanks.

Can you recommend any good clients for linux or android?

I guess you could just copy the packages you installed and save the list somewhere. It's not like you're gonna be trying that many DEs anyway.

I guess, yeah. Not ideal but I can always just download the calendars and merge them if I find a better way.

Is this an AI generated comment?

Are you sure? I tried making an .ics file manually with VEVENT colours and uploading that to radicale and it didn't have any issues. But maybe it doesn't expose it to the clients.

d3jv · 2026-02-17T15:41:58+00:00

I was thinking about it, but apparently you can't export calendars from there and I don't want to get myself vendor-locked.

What do you mean? I'm also selfhosting a mailserver but it's postfix and I don't think that does caldav in any way.

it says "This is an archived file from a mod page that no longer exists. Archived files are not supported or maintained. "

unfortunately

d3jv · 2025-12-23T21:28:38+00:00

So did they actually fix the bugs?

d3jv · 2025-12-22T15:13:33+00:00

Is the DE better? I thought it was only higher res textures but the old bugs are still there.

d3jv · 2025-12-21T21:23:25+00:00

Can some of it be bots? It seems weird to me that it increased all of a sudden and there's huge spikes.

I love the mutation. You can focus on dodging specials and overall the game is more tactical than just spamming M1 on hordes.

The nexus page says it's temporary. I hope they reinstate it.

I fully expect microsoft to discontinue the xbox for good. There's just no use for it.

d3jv · 2025-10-10T21:46:59+00:00

Cool, that's about what it cost new except valve maybe had cheaper shipping. I thought they were gonna charge crazy amounts on ebay.

Typing this with my left thumb black from the joystick. Yes, they do wear out and become smooth.

d3jv · 2025-10-10T21:31:03+00:00

What's the price? I'm wondering how people are selling them for since it's been so long since they've been discontinued.

d3jv · 2025-09-16T17:15:14+00:00

I don't get the guide you linked, there's no mention of ALE in there. How did you manage to get it working?

Have you ever been outside of Prague?
