Is that true? Like, I believe that it's true. But surely this isn't a story that broke.

It works. I wish the counter next to the notification bell would clear after I read the notifications. Instead I have to force close the app to force it to reload.
I'm sure time will make it better tho.
This is the way.
That's a tuff ask, and it's been awhile since I looked.
My kids phone is Android, computer is Windows, and I couldn't get away without Googles Family link.
The PC was easier. I use Pihole to primarily block ads, but it can also log DNS requests from my kiddos PC, and I use my switch to kill his internet. It's a desktop and doesn't have wifi. So it's just a Ethernet cable to his room. Kill the port or unplug the cable for dramatic effect. Any OS he's on he'll have restrictions and monitoring as long as he doesn't spin up a VPN or learn how to change the DNS host. But much to my dismay I don't think he'll ever love Linux, or networking.
The phone was harder. Android gives up a random MAC address so blocking him from wifi was difficult, and it didn't matter anyway since he had cell service. Eventually I came to realize that if he's in the Google ecosystem, I have to play with Google if I want parental controls on his phone. It sucked. But, again much to my dismay, he doesn't seem to think a big company knowing literally everything about him matters all that much so... Whatever. Maybe I'm the one that's crazy.
Swapping out my laptop running Proxmox for two HP Elite desks for exactly this reason.
Or some good advice, that you just can't take.
From what I've read about Cloudflares Zero Trust Tunnel thing it's actually more secure than hosting it with a public IP address.
To be clear I haven't done it. So idk for sure. But it sounds like they use some kinda 2fa system to get to your services, you don't expose a public IP, and it's all behind Cloudflares service. Which is great for security. If you trust Cloudflare. I trust Cloudflare, but some folks might not.
I might check this out as a weekend project tho. See how it differes from my setup with vlans, VM's, firewalls and fail2ban.
Don't burn the library.
As soon as they stop using DRM to force you into a specific ereader ecosystem, you'll have an argument.
Until then, I'm going to strip the DRM off of a book I buy on Amazon and read it on my Nook. All other parties involved can fuck all the way off.
