I'm gonna tell my kids to never use their real name on the internet and I'm looking forward to being super judgemental to other parents who dont suggest the same.


Wonder what kind of handle they'll each pick. Probably something cringy

@dielan How about telling them to never post ANYTHING on the Internet until they're 18?

@xianc78 @dielan When I have kids I'll tell them lurk for 18 years before posting

@Tadano @dielan I would probably use on of those custom USB-bootable Linux distros that are designed to be an environment for children to use. They usually have a whitelist of websites and programs that are kid friendly.

@xianc78 @dielan Ensuring your kid is safe nor engaging in idiocy on the computer should have the same procedure as being a sysadmin wrangling normalfags interacting with a Unix-like system. (e.g. no sudo/root escalation privileges, block any pornography/malicious URLs in /etc/hosts, program installation if needed is limited to local installation, no root password login, etc.)
