Ask HN: Have you created programs for only your personal use?
I write Android apps for my baby-now-toddler.
At a few months old I created BabyDots [0] as she loved this YouTube video of dancing dots [1] which really settled her when she was upset as a young baby.
At over a year old I added BabyPhone [2] to let her talk to family and have them “talk back” to her even when they were not available. I missed the timing on this and she didn’t enjoy it at all until literally this week when she started talking back to the little baby on the other end of the phone.
At 18 months old I made a book-building app [3] that takes titles of pages on Simple English Wikipedia, and creates pages for a book that can then be exported as a PDF and printed (or viewed on the phone). It also has a website [4] on a free heroku dyno which definitely won’t take much traffic. This was because when she gets interested in, e.g. planets, I don’t want to have to order a book on planets, I want to print one out 5 minutes later to keep her interested.
One of my proudest moments was at my new job where a team member said during our first standup “I have your baby dots app installed and although we don’t do screen time, the music really sooths our kid during nap time!”.

Mobile Ad Blocker Will No Longer Stop YouTube's Ads
Don't use Youtube without going through a proxy like Invidious [1] or Newpipe
Don't use {site} Search without going through a proxy like SearxNG [2]
Don't use TwiXXer without going through a proxy like Nitter - this has gotten more difficult lately but it still works as long as you feed the daemon some registered accounts. Video does not work at the moment but that seems to be fixable.
Don't use Reddit without going through a proxy like libreddit [4]
Start noticing the pattern? Maybe it is time to start producing promotional posters:
The only thing to come between you and ADS could be a proxy / ADS. I'ts just not worth the risk
ADS / New rules for a sane net / Sane net protects you, your partner and your community
A proxy here and a filter there, ADS nowhere
The more you tighten your grip, ${site}, the more viewers will slip through your fingers

X blocks Taylor Swift searches after fake AI videos go viral
I assume this is why Nitter got slammed and is on the verge of breaking.

Something peculiar in my 2yo's bedroom led me to a revelation about our universe
Most of the time you can just replace twitter.com with nitter.net or nitter.it but when these instances are down or blocked you can use other instances listed here: https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/wiki/Instances
But as the other commenter said Libredirect is the way to go: https://libredirect.github.io/

YouTube is loading slower for users with ad blockers yet again
Use a Youtube proxy like Invidious [1], problem solved and you get to subscribe to channels without telling the Beast about your interests. Add Sponsorblock (which supports Invidious) to get rid of any in-stream advertising which remains and you'll be transported back to those hallowed times of yore when men were men, women were women and advertising was something you found in newspapers. Youtube will try to make this harder just like Xitter is trying to make it harder to use proxies like Nitter [2].

njal.la restored nitter.net, and replied with their reasons: https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/issues/1150#issuecomment-18...
tbh I can totally understand why they acted this way.
