what type of phone/OS are your phone and computer?
there’s some hands-on controls too that may be useful but it starts with just giving them their own profile or login that’s ideally with as few permissions as possible. For android, there’s profiles which you may be able to lock down a bit more than your own profile. Apple had family mode settings that you may be able to turn on and off when they have the device. For a computer, same approach. Standard user account with whatever you installed using an admin account and lock down content via DNS like cloudflare for families, adguard-dns.io/public-dns.html, a self hosted one or something like nextdns.io.

Worth a read if you haven’t: en.wikipedia.org/…/Wikipedia:Signs_of_AI_writing
but hasnep covered it well. also emoji use, overly wordy and that graph/tree is a common style of llms.

on Spotify to distinguish AI artists from real people and block them from some playlists in c/technology@lemmy.world · 12 Aug 2026
has anyone noticed more “Spotify” created songs in their queue? I had a sleep playlist and discover weekly that had maybe 20% ai generated songs created by “Discover weekly” or Spotify.

on Job offer at digital forensics company - am I overreacting? in c/privacy@lemmy.ml · 10 Aug 2026
Personal privacy is a right. If someone commits a crime and the equivalent of a warrant is issued that data becomes evidence and it becomes your job to discover what’s on the devices.
Jobs like these exist in that balance between privacy and justice. A judge or however your justice system works has said that the potential crimes that person has committed justifies waving that person’s right to privacy in the same way as searching a home.
Your job and scope is narrow and you should take that seriously but would you rather someone who doesn’t respect privacy (e.g. a department inside the police force) does this job?
For the tools, those are the industry standards. they’re just tools and yes they’ve been abused but they or tools like them are necessary to do that job.

on Issues setting my first Home lab as a total total beginner (no programming, coding, etc. related knowledge) in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world · 10 Aug 2026
looking at the install script it looks like casaOS is installed directly on the laptop. you can check by running
systemctl status casaosin a terminal. if that’s not found try
docker ps -ato list all docker containers including any not currently running. -

I’ve never used Netbird or casaOS. I run debian and docker containers. I would recommend looking at wg-easy as a VPN. it also uses wireguard but for me it just works. you open 1 port on UDP and route it to wireguard, it’s a secure way to access your network and is quite hard to detect from the outside.
I’ve heard good things about caddy.
“data at rest/LUKS” is something you should consider if your personally worried about someone physically trying to get information off your computer/server. if the server is running or an attacker gets into your system remotely, it doesn’t matter. as a beginner, I would determine if the data your saving is worth the extra headache of encrypted media, especially if something goes wrong/an update breaks something or your configs/setup messes something up. if you do, keep a copy of your decryption keys on a NEW USB drive (flash drives go bad) or printed out in addition to saved on your workstation/laptop/password manager.
Personally for new systems I recommend Proxmox hypervisor instead of running directly on the laptop. having your debian OS/casa or whatever you use virtualized gives you the ability to take snapshots in time of your OS, makes backups easier and can help when you expand later (backup and restore on the new computer running proxmox). mine is: proxmox on bare metal old office PC
- | debian > docker w/ portainer (I plan to replace portainer w/ komono)
- | TrueNAS > S3 bucket application (garage)
if Casa becomes limiting as you learn and grow, I would recommend docker compose stacks w/ a web gui like komono.
one final note, although AI can be very useful for troubleshooting and getting some code to fix a problem (albiet logic/problem solving isn’t their strength) it’s awful for retaining knowledge and learning in the same way that using a calculator or other tool before fully understanding how to do addition/multiplication manually. I would strongly recommend taking some time to learn the basics without ai if your goal is to understand how everything works. resources to start with are using and reading “man + command”, command help flags, online courses and websites: linuxbasecamp.com explainshell.com - copy paste a command with all arguments and it tells you what it does. …linuxfoundation.org/…/introduction-to-linux/
if you want to lock your phone to one app when you hand it to them you can use app pinning in settings. otherwise look into creating a user profile and see what you can do to lock that down.
