The sort of program that once set up, just ticks along without fuss or bother forever.

For me, as I'm replacing the vms today which I set up five years ago and haven't needed to touch since;

  • HAProxy
  • KeepaliveD

Not easy to learn, but once they're running, they both go on forever.

Firefox + uBlock Origin + sponsorblock. Set it and forget it.

I haven't seen an advertisement or a sponsored segment on my desktop in over a decade, and same with my phone for several years. I'm astonished how willing most people are to put up with a constant barrage of ads coming from devices they own

    That's literally what I was about to mention as well. I would just suggest that you change the clicking frequency from the default, which is every single ad, to just moderate, so that they don't detect that you're clearly sabotaging the system and may otherwise discount your clicks.

    But yeah, be sure to mention that AdNauseam is a uBO fork. There's literally no reason not to move to it.
