Blocklist-Update.sh is a script that I wrote to manage blocklists from bluetack etc to be used in conjunction with Transmission torrent downloader in Linux/MacOS. The script can be taylored to work with Qbittorrent as well, but the placement of the blocklists means you'd have to redirect the blocklist to go somewhere locally manageable as Transmission uses its own blocklist directory in .config. I believe there are about 10 lists there now. It works well for my needs. It can be ran weekly using crontab in standard user profile. To download: blocklist-update.sh To download the others: Github
I recently was inspired over the holidays to work on my masterpieces
on Github when I noticed some errors and discrepancies with my code.
I replaced a few things that weren’t very clear, I gave the
Arch-based scripts a face lift with a couple of new features, I even
managed to wrangle up at least a temporary way to make the hosts file
updater to restart the network manager service based on which
distribution you were on. This isn’t a very good or convenient way,
but it did help to show me just how to do that in a way that will
work with multiple Ubuntu derivatives as well as Arch Linux
derivatives in the future. I also came up with some ideas for making
installing and uninstalling software even easier for new users. The
future looks bright for this year, however, I did run into constant
hurdles with Linux Mint. It just did not want to cooperate with me.
Yes I have been testing with 18.3. I finally got the distro to boot
on my device and everything is now working on it. One of many
features I like about Linux Mint over Ubuntu is that they don’t
have the constant barrage of apport error messages with seemingly no
resolution. I did manage to get over the hump with it finally but now
it seems that my chances to tackle the other issues such as service
management in Ubuntu, installation and easy un-installation of apps
in all three distros, as well as the likelihood of me writing a
script I had in mind to encompass all three will have to be put on
the back burner for another day. I will complete it soon, but not
entirely sure when. Some things have come up here at the home that
need dealt with as well as a multitude of other things. I will get
back to you whenever there are more changes. I also have yet to
release the zip package for those who want to download a copy of the
whole lot. I will indeed upload them very soon. Happy New Year!!!!!
