ninja VS uAssets

Under the hood, Rescript uses a build system called Ninja. Ninja is similar to Make, but cross-platform and more minimal/performant.

Really? I thought most new projects were switching to ninja[^1] and have never used it.

I thought I would share my custom installer script for the latest GitHub versions of CMake, Ninja, and Meson.

Now that you have your build system all generated you can go ahead and build everything. By default Meson will use Ninja as the build tool. Ninja is similar to Make but much much faster. You can also generate additional build systems but that's outside of the scope of this post.

There are also some other tools like https://ninja-build.org/ that you might prefer using instead

I got Ninja from https://github.com/ninja-build/ninja, latest release. I'm assuming this is a false positive?

Oh excellent, then better (and more portable!) tools are available:

https://ninja-build.org

https://buck.build

and, if you hate yourself: https://bazel.build

1. Force uBlock Origin out.

2. Reimplement its features selectively.

uBlock Origin comes with a filter called 'Block Outsider Intrusion into LAN'[0].

Migrate to Firefox and install uBlock Origin, you will have this feature and more.

fixed https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/commit/613159034ef6eed417516e90710474dfab42a808

BTW the whole issue was this, https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/commit/de85f38ad297a6724d3f06d360f1693ab29599ad

Aternos is problematic. See issue https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/issues/13144

Fixing anti-adblock may cause ads or breakages. If you see any issue, please report back the EXACT URL and your country when accessing the URL so volunteers are able to investigate by commenting here or in this thread on github.

Looking at the filters that uBlock is using, it still seems to be some sort of regex on the xhr request/response body [1]. Why can't youtube trivially defeat this by encrypting everything?

a) How does ublock (-the extention-) upgrade . i suppose what that purge caches does is going to the repo and grabs the latest lists/ids etc ... but if during this battle you had to upgrade the extention itself was this done via the extention store or the the extention goes grabs the new version by it self ?

Mega thread issue on GitHub tracking this https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/issues/19976

Reddit is not and should not be considered a tech support site.

YouTube is stepping up the anti-adblock nonsense and will be disabling playback after 3 videos

Personally, this sort of arms race is only going to cause me to not use YouTube
