- I have a seven year old nephew who I would like to find some computing activities that we could do together. Any ideas?

I do not recommend using a seven year old as a server for the following reasons.

their parents will get mad
the neighbors might call the police about all the children you have racked in your basement
they have poor computing power, wait until they're at least in their late teens (although software updates come too late and the system is usually very unstable at that time.)
think of the smell! your house will smell like a kindergarten
food costs are already high enough, add two or four growing kids to that budget and it's far cheaper to run a couple Dell R610s every month.

overall, not worth it mate. good luck though!

They are also very noisy, so a basement location might not be enough to suppress the humming and yelling from reaching your living areas.

@walden This conversation feels like it has taken a dark turn and could be used against me in court one day ..but to be clear...houses generally dont have basements in new zealand

Yeah... I hesitated to hit "submit", but figured the courts would rule in our favor because courts have a good sense of humor!

@GreenKnight23 I aggree totally but comparing their LLM to the 2.5 year old.. Its consideribly more advanced.. though it still seems to overuse words like 'why', 'when' and 'do you have $20 for this game"
