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
XFCE, a very old and lightweight desktop environment, is a flagship of many distributions including Manjaro, Lite, and others. XFCE has always had this touting for being medium to lightweight on lower spec hardware and beyond. XFCE comes with many of its own applications and settings managers and is stable and never gets in a hurry to update and change, that said, the latest release has many new improvements and features to the interface. It brings a new mimetype viewer/editor in default applications menu, a new icon set by default, many improvements to the panel and some performance improvements to the overall compositing of the desktop. Power management has seen some improvements expected to improve battery performance and life on mobile hardware. The panel includes more granular controls and new toggles for things that included a checkbox before. There is a new dark-mode feature for the xfce panel that should help blend with matching wallpapers and help with eye strain. Arch Linux
