Sup /g/. I haven't messed with programming since 2006. (I was a shitty c++ kid who never really learned) haven't built myself a PC since 2010. I used to be into tech stuff more but the new internet just sucks. I miss static websites and people who actually built things. I miss the old old hackaday.
The Internet is now a system that profits off normies. And I hate it. I hate clickbait.
I work as a carpenter now btw. I pay my bills and take care of myself, and I was going to spend this little windfall on a new rig. Install a distro on my old one, etc.
But...

Hulk Hogan is already doing critical damage to click bait journalism
Adblock even more so. The best you can do is install Adblock on every browser you can get a hold of.
That's cool but I still want to do this.
I'm getting approx $2000 USD.
That should be enough to get this made, open sourced, etc. I'd prefer a way to do it without a central server so it's harder to take down but the risks of a p2p app are equally bad.
also a way to set it up in a hardware firewall (I made one out of a 486 once lol) that does the HTML modification on the fly would be pretty sweet.
You'd do better to spend the money to start a trend of non-bullshit web pages.
Lead by example.
Nothing will get rid of clickbait. The best thing to do would be to provide a viable alternative.
Netflix has rolled out proxy blocking, which prevents people from viewing versions of Netflix that are outside of their country.
How long do you think It will be before most, if not all websites start blocking VPNs/Proxies?

You can thank the MPAA for that
Just use Popcorn Time. Set up a VPN if your ISP doesn't like that.
Boom - the more movies, for less the price.
Also you don't have to feel like shit - Stallman says that "They pay zero cents of your CD purchase price to musicians". There's no way that this doesn't also apply to movies.

Er, sorry m8, but wat
A large group, or a company makes a film.
Usually only a person makes a song.
The person gets paid shit.
The company licences its films to netflix for n years, in exchange for lots of cash.
Why are there so many different Linux distros when they're all basically the same underneath apart from with different package managers.
>inb4 I'd just like to interject for a moment...

Because some respect freedom and some don't

So you have a functional system out of the box with (hopefully) software that you'll use.

Because eventually a project becomes so large that either the sweeping change of a small group isn't going to be implemented fast enough or ever at all if things become too political.
Aside from that it can be used as a way to showcase a set of software pre-installed when it is a derivative work, it can be a technical decision in something unique like Gentoo or perhaps just a fun side project for someone like Crunchbang.
Priorities, technical decisions, philosophy and community all play large roles...

Are Fractal Design cases even that good anymore? I know they used to be the pinnacle of silent, not autistic MUH LED'S pc cases but there seems to be a lot of competition out there with great aesthetic too. Phanteks for example seems to surpass Fractal in every way. Opinions?
>>53844435
my 2 cents is that theyre all glorified boxes, any cheap piece of shit with 2-3 fans is good enough as long as theres no short and everything fits
aesthetics are up to you but a $250 case like your pic is a fucking hilarious waste of money to me
It doesn't matter. Buy the case that you like the look of in the form factor you want that you can fit your hardware in.
>>53844435
I will never ever buy a case more than 50 dollars
