Not said to me but someone I know, “you’re a lanky string of piss”.

I spent some time in a live ISO and had no issues. Haven’t tried a snapshot yet though.

I booted into a live usb and haven’t had issues so it seems like a driver issue (thankfully).

I’m using a GTX 1660 TI.

Nothing has changed hardware wise for months. Last software update (before today) was 4-7 days ago.

I’m 80% sure I do. I hadn’t updated for a few days (before today) and it had been working up until earlier today.

I booted into an EndeavourOS live USB (just to keep it all the same) and there hasn’t been any freezing. So it seems like a driver issue then.

I’ve been looking for something for Wayland, I’ll give this a go, thank you.

I remember seeing an article a little while back about this guy who had a similar issue. He ended up using a Raspberry Pi to avoid the ads.

Imperfect Linux-powered DIY smart TV is the embodiment of ad fatigue

Curiosity got the better of me a while back. It’s horrifying and incredibly interesting at the same time.

Thank you for the very detailed response! I’ll give that book a read, it sounds interesting.

Something like this?

I asked a similar question a little while back: https://lemdro.id/post/10600532

It doesn’t really mean much, it’s more of a loophole from what I gathered.

“Sponsor Block” is a game changer as well

I’ve got a feeling it’s a static site but I’ll confirm to make sure.

I’m referring to the fact that they don’t use or have major rate limits on the APIs that they use for either Reddit or YouTube, respectively.

Interesting, I didn’t know that. Thanks for the info!

You’ve given me a great jumping off point, thank you!

It’s not very slow to scrape a website. Works quite well.

That’s good to know, I’ll look into that some more. I was thinking that it might be slow if I’m having to scrape each page, every time a user changes categories (or something similar).

The trouble with that is that it breaks easily when they change something on their site.

I completely forgot about that :(

I really wanted to try BlendOS but the installer didn’t work at all for me and a couple others (this was when v4 was released). Haven’t tried again recently though.

I couldn’t even get the installer to work. Tried a couple times but it just wouldn’t install so I gave up on it - still want to try it though
