Solving the Rubik’s cube

You either get into speedcubing and get high end cubes to improve your performance, at least of the official categories and a couple must haves like the Mirror cube.

And / Or

You start collecting cubes and puzzles of all kinds and shapes (yes, even non-cubical :o). You start to acquire custom cubes built by hand by artesians or niche brands.

For the love of what’s good in this world, stick to that one budget MJC set of competitive cubes until you are actually 10 or 20 seconds behind the world record

Heyo, same here

I made a blog about this. Make sure to follow it via RSS too ;)

Unless you already have it, to be honest

You’re already pretty crazy so, maybe Piped or YouTube Local

Stick to local stuff, no need to open ports at all. I got myself a Raspberry Pi and I just have it next to my router.

Once I felt like using it outside my network, instead of opening ports and doing complicated stuff that didn’t work cuz I am behind a Nat, I just used Tailscale instead, it’s a private VPN that is free for a limited amount of devices (like 10 or more I think so it’s fine for you and family). It’s the best easiest thing ever

FreshRSS is what I use and I can create my own feeds using X path, it’s kinda great but too much to explain. I wrote a blog about it.

yeah but I kinda dislike cloudflare. Tailscale is based on wireguard which is cool

Check out tailscale, the best tool ever to access a server without opening ports or doing hard stuff

That’s fair! I joined apollo.town because it’s small and tidy, not a lot of local communities but following stuff from there ain’t that slow

Hmm. AntennaPod supports syncing with Next loud via a Gpodder’s API, if each kid gets its own next loud account it should work fine

Well you can install it locally and get the web interface via localhost, but if it’s a proper server you can access the news from your sources from anywhere and you can also use 3rd party apps in your phone to get a different interface via the API

I recommend trying the apps, especially wefwef.app

I have never seen anyone caring about usernames in reddit, I expect the same here, I just want a cool short handle, I’ll get my cool short handle, not because that’s me but because I want a cool, short, handle

FreshRSS, news and websites fetched your way. You can even create feeds for websites that don’t provide one

You should get into Personal websites’ RSS feeds. I recommend checking #100DaysToOffload if you have Mastodon or similar, they are pretty much small blogs done by people just trying to write about stuff, nothing too serious, but entertaining
