For ad blocking on OpenWRT, you could try AdGuard Home

it’s pretty straightforward to set up and works out of the box. Also, if you’re building any sites yourself, something like GetProduct dev could be useful for subtle monetization with affiliate links instead of cluttering with ads.

Keeps things clean!

TBH working too much and i may call it’s a tackling phone addiction.

Using Roots to reduce it tho, adds stuff like app limits, downtime, and a “balance score” to help ppl keep their screen time in check. Just tryna make it easier to unplug and stay present without feeling too forced.

Re:Ask HN: Local RAG with private knowledge base on Friday November 01, 2024 @07:49AM (#42016008)
look into Rig. It’s a Rust library that works with LLMs and integrates well with vector stores like MongoDB.

Helpful for building a scalable, local RAG solution tailored to your group’s needs—plus, it’s open source-friendly if i'm correct.

SEO can feel like such a balancing act—one tweak, and it’s a waiting game to see the impact! Sounds like you’ve learned a lot about the sensitivity of robots.txt.

If you’re into exploring new tech, you might like Rig. It’s a Rust library for building scalable, modular apps with LLMs, ideal if you’re branching out into AI or complex workflows. Keeps things type-safe and flexible.
