When they got home, they were so hungry that they actually consented to eating soup!
By the way, it’s totally possible to ride on level ice, if careful, but some trails have this compacted ridge in the middle which makes them convex.

A bit late to the party, but I took my kids out for a bicycle ride (into the nearest bog, so we walked part of the way). The bits where the ground was still covered with ice were the most fun.
Play video games - Cataclysm:DDA or Dwarf Fortress (tho I stayed on the pre-Steam version as it’s lighter on the CPU).
Learn a new programming language at https://exercism.org
Read a book - tons of free ones around the interwebs, legally or not, as you desire.
Install a new operating system. Try Haiku or OpenBSD. See if your phone is compatible with PostmarketOS. If not, Termux + SSH + port forwarding in your WiFi box, set up a webserver and publish something. Host a Gemini pod.
Learn a craft. Repair something that another person would toss. Start a sourdough culture - it takes a week to mature (read up on how to do this right), then bake a bread. Homemade bread is approx 16× tastier than run-of-the-mill commercial stuff.
Take a walk somewhere you haven’t walked before. Find the nearest forest lake and arrange a picnic. Take someone with you on the 2nd trip.
I’m running my email server on a POCO F1 ex-Android phone (running PostmarketOS now).
I wish I could get NixOS running on it, then I’d move other things also there.
Having an unauthenticated relay imposes the responsibility to configure it correctly (the “only certain addresses” part) and protect it (the “accessible outside the local network” bit). Are you sure it’s not accessible? Did you remember to test with IPv6 too? Will it remain protected after the next time you mess around with your firewall for some totally unrelated reason?
If it works - good for you, but be mindful of all the baggage that comes with a new service.
You’re trading one security issue (profileration of app passwords) to another one (an unauthenticated relay). Is it worth it?
I saw a website once that taught me how to cross one eye. Now I’m teaching kids how to freak out their parents and teachers with this.
Most of modern music sounds horrible. Elevators and shopping malls would be better off silent than blasting this noisome garbage.
There are exceptions - there totally are modern composers creating quality stuff. It’s just not played anywhere in public places, for some reason.
I’m running my own mail server at home. It wasn’t all that difficult to set up, using SNM.
The biggest hassle happens when my home IP changes (that’s when my router dies for longer than the DHCP lease time), andI have to re-allowlist my home IP in Office365 and whatever the other one was. I get an automated response to the 1st email I send, with instructions how to unblock my IP.

I got a new screen for my ol’ trusty Poco F1, from AliExpress, for 20€, and spent an hour to install it.
Why is the question about “stopping me” - there’s nothing here to motivate me to get one, so by default I won’t.
I tried to run some software on my router. It kind of works, if it fits. Storage was the limiting factor. There’s an option to expand the FS to include a USB stick, but somehow it made something overheat, and the router froze every now and then.
