[lug] monitoring kids

[Davide Del Vento]

Folks,

For the series better late than never, I would like to track my kids use of
their computers which is supposedly be only "school" and for obvious
reasons has skyrocketed to a large amount of time.

The first kid works on a Linux box, where I am root and the kid is not, so
that may be easy. The second one has a BVSD-provided chromebook where I
don't even have an account (as far as I know) but I could "kindly ask" the
kid to lend me the machine so I can make sure everything is safe an up to
date. Alternatively, I could do something on the modem-router, which is a
combined device made by Motorola, model MG7540. At this point I would only
know where they are spending their time, not necessarily block things (yet?)

I have no idea where to start for any of the three options. I fear both
https://xkcd.com/1445/ (or equivalently https://xkcd.com/1801/) as well as
not considering an option which may be the best one, simply because I do
not know about it. Any insight or suggestion?

Thanks,
Davide
