Há alguns meses que não atualizava a minha lista de bloqueio, para adblockers, à merda do Nónio. Ela não me estava a dar problemas, por isso não senti necessidade de a rever. No dia 21 de junho, no entanto, um dos developers do uBlock Origin abriu um bug por causa dos tipos de regras usadas, bug esse que está relacionado com outro reportado no repositório deste adblocker.

In the previous post, I wrote about how I changed the virtual machine provider from Scaleway to Hetzner. In the days following the transition, I timed how much it took to build all the packages and sync them to the webserver, so I could compare the new provider with the previous one. The specs are very similar: 4 vCPUs and 8GB of RAM. There is one difference, however: with Scaleway, the vCPUs were some Intel low-end ones (although they’ve upgraded to AMD EPYC very recently) and with Hetzer they are AMD EPYC....
After a small forced hiatus, userrepository.eu is back. The Covid-19 pandemic made a hit in my income and the wife’s income, so I had to temporarily suspend non-priority expenses. During this period, I had time to consider a few things about the future of the project and decided to change the provider from Scaleway to Hetzner, mostly because the Arch image they’re using is essentially abandonware. If you’re reading this, you’ll probably know that Arch Linux changed the default package compression to ZSTD....
