If these children were so innocent, why were they living in Iran? Checkmate.

I like Breakout 71, it's deceptively simple but gets addicting https://f-droid.org/packages/me.lecaro.breakout

Can someone ELI5 how to upgrade Overseerr now that it's Seerr?
Here is a migration guide from the devs: https://docs.seerr.dev/migration-guide
How did you install Overseerr in CasaOS?
If I understand it, Docker users just need to update the compose file and the settings should migrate. But I haven't done this yet and I'll definitely be backing up first.

I Installed Ubuntu Touch on My Phone in 2026 — Should You?
I'd gladly replace Android with any flavor of Linux whenever possible. But the phone and TV set top industries make it difficult/impossible. And the next barrier is whether my family could operate these without patience for bugs and missing features.

What is the first electronic device kids get these days? (Desktop, Laptop, Tablet, Phone, Game consoles?)
My kid got an Android tablet for a 6-hour car ride for vacation. I don't plan to use it unless we're taking a similarly long car ride or hospital stay.
I added a 512GB micro SD card and filled it with downloaded videos from my home server. Most of the time it's in airplane mode.

This song reminds me of being a student during wintertime. There's a time at the end of finals week when school is nearly abandoned. I worked on campus in an office buried deep in a basement. Those last days of the semester were peaceful, somber, and a little depressing. I'd sit in my office working while listening to Fleet Foxes. All the while aware that few people even knew I was there, and that another semester passed by.

If there's a sub-$500 tablet that supports Ubuntu and has a kid-friendly case, consider me interested! I'd love to have full control over a video streaming tablet for my kids.

I love the PBS apps too, those will be a permanent install on our kids' devices. I'll check out Epic too.
Like OP, I'll try to avoid the worst of Google Play Store and YouTube Kids for as long as possible. My oldest is still a toddler so we're still in control of what she sees and does. It's inevitable that they'll encounter that stuff at school or other houses, but I hope they'll be disinterested and watching some YouTube slop will only be a curiosity rather than an addiction/coping mechanism.
My wife and I recently rewatched an episode of the original Power Rangers series and my god was that terrible. It was my favorite show when I was 7, but at least it fostered an early love for mecha shows. ;)

Live TV streaming
Is freemediaheckyeah an IPTV service? Plex or Jellyfin can manage IPTV streams. Plex needs additional software (e.g., xTeVe) to take an m3u playlist and convert it into a tuner.

Heroic v2.21.0 introduces a new console-like fullscreen interface optimized for the Steam Deck and controller navigation
Reply in thread
I haven't tried it myself, but searching seems to show that Heroic should launch sh scripts. Don't use the Flatpak version of Heroic as that will cause file permission issues.

Fuck Github, Microsoft has made it impossible to create an account without linking to hardware or phones

Seconding this. I recommend OMV if you're new or inexperienced with Linux and self hosting. I started my server when it was a gaming PC running Windows and OMV has felt like an easy transition for me.
But Docker is all but required in my opinion. I like working with Docker Compose files and I keep OMV on a separate drive in case I want to move to pure Debian or other distro.

What YouTube downloader are the kids using these days?
I use metube and Pinchflat.
Metube is great for one-off video downloads and works for many sites including social media. This comes in handy a lot when I want to send a short reel to friends without linking to Facebook, etc.
Pinchflat automatically downloads my favorites playlists and a couple other channels that I follow. These videos go into specific folders that are linked to Plex libraries.

Antistress - relaxation toys has lots of fun little gadgets. I'd recommend paying for premium to escape ad hell

What's the name of this high energy 80s pop/disco song sang by a solo female singer? Me humming the melody: https://voca.ro/1fiQl9tlBHoh Has a vibe like I Feel For You by Chaka Kahn

You could host something like IPTVnator on your Proxmox server: https://github.com/4gray/iptvnator
