I remember seeing an article a little while back about this guy who had a similar issue. He ended up using a Raspberry Pi to avoid the ads.

Something like this?
I haven’t noticed it in nightly yet
“Sponsor Block” is a game changer as well
I’ve got a feeling it’s a static site but I’ll confirm to make sure.
I’m referring to the fact that they don’t use or have major rate limits on the APIs that they use for either Reddit or YouTube, respectively.
Interesting, I didn’t know that. Thanks for the info!
You’ve given me a great jumping off point, thank you!
It’s not very slow to scrape a website. Works quite well.
That’s good to know, I’ll look into that some more. I was thinking that it might be slow if I’m having to scrape each page, every time a user changes categories (or something similar).
The trouble with that is that it breaks easily when they change something on their site.
I completely forgot about that :(
I really wanted to try BlendOS but the installer didn’t work at all for me and a couple others (this was when v4 was released). Haven’t tried again recently though.
I couldn’t even get the installer to work. Tried a couple times but it just wouldn’t install so I gave up on it - still want to try it though
True to some extent. I know there’s been a big effort to get buildings mapped in the US, but it’s not always possible to get house/street numbers from aerial imagery.
Once buildings are mapped you can either add the remainder of the details with on the ground mapping (e.g using an app like StreetComplete) or if the data (e.g from the government) becomes open and available to use.
I tested it with car play the other day. Worked fine, except for a strange issue with orientation after using the UI.
OsmAnd is free with enough contributions to OpenStreetMap.
Personally, I was using MagicEarth for public transport when needed but it’s stopped working for some reasons. Once Organic Maps gets support for public transport (currently it only provides train times for me), I’ll fully move there. It’s great for everything else though!
I’ve used Bluefin and Aurora for some light web development. I created a container with toolbox (I assume things would be similar with distrobox) and did what I needed. When I needed, I could run npm start
and it was as if I had developed locally.
Or Asia
I don’t think they work at all on comments, although I don’t have hard evidence to confirm this. However, I believe there are “block lists” you can add to your websites robots.txt
that work decently.
I’ve definitely seen more video content of people trying Linux or moving over completely after that announcement from MS.
I’ve been looking for something for Wayland, I’ll give this a go, thank you.
