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
Manjaro released a new stable build version 17.1.8 recently. As of April 17, 2018, the release focuses mostly on updating and rebuilding certain packages to improve performance and compliance, however, GNOME did get a big refresh to version 3.28. Deepin did get some attention as well, apparently there were some CPU load issues previously, but those appear to have been fixed now. Still stays true to prior look and feel in XFCE. For those who do not know, Manjaro now ships with their own interpretation of Microsoft-Office-Online. This is a suite of tools which allows users to remotely work on cloud-based documents for work on the go. The suite is meant to be completely compatible with Microsoft Office. Also, Manjaro is currently working on a new desktop project called JADE which is supposed to be more developer friendly. The new project makes heavy use of keyboard shortcuts and gestures. Manjaro developers also have a new line of hardware for sale. The Spitfire appears rather nice
