I did not know that I already had the tool in my hands. uBlock Origin is the best ad blocker imaginable. But it can do something I always wanted: Get rid of cookie popups (but without acception them automatically). And you only need to add a new filter list called “Easy list”. For explanations: kevinthetechguy.ca/…/quick-tip-how-to-get-rid-of-…

Self-hosting anything that is deemed “content” openly on the web in 2025 is a battle of attrition between you and forces who are able to buy tens of thousands of proxies to ruin your service for data they can resell. This is depressing. Profoundly depressing. i look at the statistics board for my reverse-proxy and i never see less than 96.7% of requests classified as bots at any given moment. The web is filled with crap, bots that pretend to be real people to flood you. All of that because i want to have my little corner of the internet where i put my silly little code for other people to see. i have to learn to protect myself from industrial actors in order to put anything online, because anything a person makes is valuable, and that value will be sucked dry by every tech giant to be emulsified, liquified, strained, and ultimately inexorably joined in an unholy mesh of learning weights.
