awk is pretty damn solid. When I was completely rewriting the gravity.sh script from Pi-hole about six years back, it was easily the fastest for parsing and uniquely sorting content from files with a couple million lines. It made things much more usable on Raspberry Pi Zero hardware, since changing to another language like Python was out of the question.

I migrated to Pi-hole in 2016 so believe me when I say that uBlock Origin is perfectly complimentary because it removes the blank space that is made for ads.

WaLLy3K,

Windows users complaining that a Linux (or at a stretch, even Mac) app doesn’t have a Windows version.

WaLLy3K,

The amount of USB type ports I’ve seen where the ‘tongue’ has been absolutely mangled is mind boggling — an issue that Lightning completely bypassed.

For example, I’m repairing some kids PS5 and both back USB ports have had their pins twisted and the plastic snapped off. The HDMI port pins are lifting from the mainboard and the front of the unit is scratched to high hell. I see some of the worst treated tech at my job, and those plastic bits get damaged a lot. While Apple needed to move to USB-C six years ago with the iPhone X, I will respect Lightning for this one thing.
