My uBlock Origin filters to remove distractions

My uBlock Origin filters to remove distractions
414 by mig4ng | 166 comments on Hacker News.
Repository with my filter lists that block some distractions from sites I want to keep using. I am pretty ruthless removing distractions from my life (e.g. no Instagram, Facebook, TikTok), but some tools I'd like to keep using some parts of it. E.g. Twitter/X, I dislike the feed but I like reading some threads that are shared here or on blog posts. Same for YouTube, I enjoy some videos but I do not want recommendations when I finish the video I was watching. Feel free to suggest more, open issues, pull requests or send me an email :)

Show HN: ElectricSQL, Postgres to SQLite active-active sync for local-first apps

Show HN: ElectricSQL, Postgres to SQLite active-active sync for local-first apps

Hi HN, James, Valter, Sam and the team from ElectricSQL here. We're really excited to be sharing ElectricSQL with you today. It's an open source, local-first sync layer that can be used to build reactive, realtime, offline-capable apps directly on Postgres with two way active-active sync to SQLite (including with WASM in the browser). Electric comprises a sync layer (built with Elixir) placed in front of your Postgres database and a type safe client that allows you to bidirectionally sync data from your Postgres to local SQLite databases. This sync is CRDT-based, resilient to conflicting edits from multiple nodes at the same time, and works after being offline for extended periods. Some good links to get started: - website: https://ift.tt/pZNe8Rb - docs: https://ift.tt/6BYr2WJ - code: https://ift.tt/PCgpALd - introducing post: https://ift.tt/ZrFcwQh... You can also see some demo applications: - Linear clone: https://ift.tt/P4hRoSL - Realtime demo: https://ift.tt/FTPvx4c - Conflict-free offline: https://ift.tt/u0FEPZG The Electric team actually includes two of the inventors of CRDTs, Marc Shapiro and Nuno PreguiƧa, and a number of their collaborators who've pioneered a lot of tech underpinning local-first software. We are privileged to be building on their research and delighted to be surfacing so much work in a product you can now try out.
