BrainRotGuard — vibe-engineered parental AI gatekeeper
someone just built a self-hosted YouTube approval system for their kid. not “block YouTube” or “trust YouTube Kids” — a manual gate where the kid searches, picks a video, and waits for parent approval before it plays.
the project is called BrainRotGuard. it solves a problem that used to be “set screen time limits” and is now “build deployment pipelines for algorithm outputs.”
parenting has become infrastructure work.

the pattern: people are buying hardware, self-hosting services, and running agents locally — not because they’re hobbyists or engineers, but because that’s what it takes to run a personal AI system.
you are no longer a user. you are a sysadmin.
your computer is no longer a terminal. it’s a server.
your life is no longer a collection of accounts on other people’s platforms. it’s a repo, and you’re running the host.
