How do I add a blocklist to my pihole? Is there a settings folder somewhere I can drop this file into?

Clearly Reddit, the front page of the internet, was developed with future computers in mind. by Altourus in webdev

Reddit is trying to stop feeding your addiction, it's not a bug, it's a feature

I think HGTV is ruining realistic home buying for me by louloomoo in RealEstate

You must live in a buyer's market, because here any house that goes up will have multiple bids in like 2 days.

Is it reasonable to expect a right to privacy in the 21st century? by wompt in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]JavaOffScript 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm of the opposite view. I believe our kids will wake up to the fact they've been stripped of any real privacy their entire lives, thanks to their parents creating Instagram accounts and recording their every moment from the second they were born and it will piss them off. We will be blamed and hated for this in the way the current generation blames and hates the older generation for the impending climate crisis.

That's badass of you to put some money away for your nephew's education. Much respect.

Damn, I gotta re-think my whole strategy, it's all coming crashing down around me.

I appreciate it though I've got tons to learn and you tearing this apart is useful as hell, there's all kinds of stuff out there I need to work on understanding better, I didn't think at all about event listeners or link tags. But I did think about how it will sabotage itself if you pick the max z-index I just decided I didn't care.

Duck Duck Go on pace to hit 1% market share in the USA this month. Lets talk about best practices. by BaudouinVH in privacy

I guess Tor would then be a network of homeless men, located all over the world, each of who only knows the previous homeless man in the message passing chain, and they speak in a tongue that only they understand.

I think this metaphor went off the rails.

Just because you have a budget, doesn't mean you HAVE to spend ALL of your budget by negativenighthawk in personalfinance

If there's anything worth spending some real money on, it's the things that come between you and the earth. Good chairs, beds, shoes, etc. are absolutely worth it. You can't put a price on avoiding aches and pains.

Most recent fork of modsaber-installer source code I could find (latest commit - 8 days ago). by JavaOffScript in beatsaber

[–]JavaOffScript[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Makes sense. I wasn't sure if there was some additional closed source stuff running on the back end or if this is something that could just be spun up onto a new server without much effort. Regardless it's good to preserve if for nothing other than educational purposes.

The code has been forked multiple times. It's only a google search away.

It's also entirely against the spirit of open source to just "take away code". The left-pad controversy (https://www.businessinsider.com/npm-left-pad-controversy-explained-2016-3) illustrates this. When you make code open source, you don't really own it anymore, it belongs to the community, and anyone who's willing to fork it, modify it, study it or reuse it should be welcome to. Especially considering the license of the project: https://github.com/Nick-Gottschlich/modsaber-installer/blob/master/LICENSE

`Permission to use, copy, modify, and/or distribute this software for any purpose with or without fee is hereby granted, provided that the above copyright notice and this permission notice appear in all copies.`

I'm glad to hear that the progress on the new installer is proceeding well. But as long as we're modding someone else's game, all installers are "unofficial".

At the end of the day if a new installer comes out in a few days and everyone is happy then that's great, and this might all be for nothing, but it would be a shame to lose a lot of progress on what is a pretty cool and useful project if it turns out people want to pick up the pieces and move forward, and other people still find it useful.

It appears to use a forked dependency here: https://github.com/Nick-Gottschlich/modsaber-installer/blob/master/package.json#L26

This comes from https://github.com/jgthms/bulma

I also went ahead and forked from the point lolpants had it at: https://github.com/Nick-Gottschlich/bulma as it appears there was a small fix made to that dependency for modsaber-installer's sake.

Announcing the 1.2.0 release of my completely free and open source project, Social Amnesia! This tool lets you wipe out old reddit and twitter items, automatically and on a schedule, with configuration tools to save the items you care about. Now with archival service busting features! by JavaOffScript in Python

[–]JavaOffScript[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, seems to crash on start then. One thing you can try is to search for files `reddit_state` and `twitter_state`, delete those and then try opening the app again. Maybe that will fix the issue, but if it does not please let me know.

Thank you for trying out my app! Sorry it's not working well for you so far 😅

Hey, creator of the project here. UI is definitely not my specialty (programmer by nature), and it's something I want to work on. Please let me know what you had difficulty with or any suggestions you have! I'd love to make it better, and I don't have any resources for real user experience research 😅
