Yeah, I found Microsoft family to be a pretty half-assed experience. The thing that seems to work best is the screen time management. I had planned to try and set up YouTube access via allow listing channels in a home Linux server, but it turns out that YouTube doesn't identify their videos by channel in the URL and I'd have to allowlist every single video for a given channel.

    You could theoretically host a Piped API instance, and use it to get channel info. I guess you are already using your own SSL certificates, judging by what you are trying to accomplish.

    This is the Piped org btw: https://github.com/TeamPiped

    It is a YouTube frontend/proxy.

    Edit: I made a post on Piped's community, so we can discuss it there: https://discuss.online/post/16448014

    I'm not a sysadmin, I'm a backend dev with enough network knowledge to be dangerous. I've set up exactly one super basic website, so I know some of this stuff, I just have to (and can and will) stumblefuck my way through it. This seems like a really great idea, I had no idea Piped could potentially handle that. I'm going to keep an eye on this, thanks!

    I'm planning on building a server that rips channels videos and they can have the app for that.

    We are a no YouTube without our explicit permission on the video kinda household. Too much actual brainrot. And as much as I don't like Television, at least my kids are mentally protected from bullshit with the Children's Television Protection Act.

    I'm guessing my kids are younger than yours, but I've taken the approach of simply keeping a loose eye and ear on what they're watching to make sure they're not on too bad of content and of course limiting how much time they can spend on brainrot content. They spend most of their TV time watching PBS kids or some ripped DVDs on my Jellyfin
