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
WORKING WITH THE NEW WESTERN DIGITAL BLUE 3D NAND 250GB SSD I can say without a doubt that the overall speed and snappiness makes this a worthwhile buy. When working with SSDs it is recommended that you do not store personal media on the device as these add needless writes to infrequently accessed data. This also takes up space that the OS uses for speed and reliability. When working with the SSD, there is little to no worry of jarring or failing due to small drops as the drive has no moving parts. SSDs are similar to memory in that they store data in cells; the cells are read and handled in similar fashion to the way memory handles the data. This allows for faster booting and smoother loading of applications. SSDs do not produce extreme amounts of heat, nor do they constantly have to write back like with standard hard disk drives. GARBAGE COLLECTION AND TRIM SSDs have a limited amount of read/write cycles and GC or Garbage Collection is a must for these drives. I
