Maybe it's too early now, I would go with offline games (think of hiding some "treasures" and let him find them).

As time goes by, you might have a look at GCompris suite https://gcompris.net/screenshots-en.html


Exporting the entire VPS's in open format (ova ?) and importing them in the new environment isn't an option? Are the machines too big ?


Usually around ~100-200GB


well, if trolling is permitted, I would say that "Hello World" example has the most exquisite code.

in most cases "Hello World" is open-source, but I still don't know if can be named "project"


Gentlemen, you forgot OTRS, the Yoda granddaddy of them all. // On the other hand, the SSL certificates are free now, you should have it set correctly by now on webemployed.com


Freenas, for sure!



Well .... something like this ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75wa8Lx4yc4

// troll mode off


lol that is good.


If you use or can install a linux machine, you might find GCompris as valuable resource. (it has packages for Windows too, but not as feature-reach).

We have also found extremely attractive the "find the clue" type of game, where kids were supposed to find the next small clues hidden in the house (pieces of paper with instructions), based in indications found in the previous ones. The reward at the end was always a source of fun.

However, the most entertaining toys are ones for outside play: kites, bow-and-arrow, climbing walls, diy catapults and the list can continue.


Thanks for your advice, will look into it. And yes, most entertaining toys are those outside.


ImageGlass is all I need. Simple, fast and easy to use.


This is a great question. Since they removed Wang Imaging from the Windows installation, I'm often asked during parental system support duties what to do. Thank you for the suggestion of ImageGlass.


I would also recommend using two-factor authentication (see services like Duo or Twilio's Authy) along with password-protected keys.


Absolutely use 2FA, but it's no guarantee.

With large scale hacks in mind and apropos of the Yahoo hack, an attacker has miniscule chances of getting into your account, but 500 million accounts / a 6-digit auth code means with a full compromise (ie, username and plaintext passwords, which the Yahoo compromise was not), the attacker would still get into 5 accounts.

Given how much full email access is "keys to the kingdom" given password resets, thats the (tiniest) bit worrying.
