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
A new spectre flaw dubbed NetSpectre has been found. This nasty flaw works in the same way that regular Spectre works by going through cached resources in the CPU and reading important user data. This flaw, however, doesn’t require physical access to your device. NetSpectre leverages the CPU’s natural architecture to execute possible remote code against an unpatched microcode or set of instructions built into the chip. Many operating systems including Windows and Linux have attempted to correct much of this malicious code execution by altering the way their kernels access RAM and CPU. After this you can probably expect even more changes. This is not to be confused with Meltdown which uses the same technique to gain access to the entire system. Spectre itself can only access Kernel memory. Google Chrome and many other apps that use passwords and other login data, have patched their applications already. Many of these patches included altering the timing of the application. M
