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 has a new stable update on the way. Some things I liked about the beta build of this release, it’s smooth and fast. Everything seems to work out of the box. The biggest gripe I can say, the themes. Now I haven’t done a lot of extensive testing with 18.0 as of late, lots of sidetracking going on. I did find a few quirks getting my scripts up and running in the live version if I recall. I have been noticing a lot of troublesome updates in my testing branch from updates on the way to 18.0. The current version is still 17.1.0 and most of the changes I believe are more under the hood than aesthetics. There appears to be a lot of library and driver support updates on the way. Pam and Pinentry recently updated in testing which has been giving me a fit. Each time I play video on VLC something throws me back to the login screen at random. One system had VLC totally stop working. My solution was to revert to a more modest player on both systems at this time. Parole Media playe
