From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

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.

can i interest you in an AdNauseam instead? It blocks ads, but it also "clicks" the links to poison the data.

Isn't it better to let them wither and die due to no clicks, rather than encourage them?

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.
