edgartaoron uBlock filter list to hide all YouTube Shorts

"Enhancer for YouTube" have that 'convert Shorts' option or hide them entirely.

I love that book. Is full of lessons that seam aimed to kids but are even more important for adults to be remembered from time to time.

edgartaoron Divorce: The Arcade Machine (~2014)

Having a slow day, I found myself dumbscrolling Youtube Shorts and found something actually interesting.

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/KFs-sIMp89s

That was an unusual mechanical game! I have to know more. I quickly found the original creator Tim Hunkin and his Youtube channel, a hidden gem by itself.

Featured his own video of the Divorce arcade machine.

with a blog post about the making of the machine, way more interesting than just play the game.

And some 'grisly themed' (as he said) machines like the PET OR MEAT machine

Apparently inspired in some very old machines depicting executions for a coin. I'm still getting into this rabbit hole.

edgartaoron Show HN: Serve your saved articles to a Kindle

Yes. I was reluctant to buy a Kindle to read my already owned ebooks but using Calibre to sync to my Kindle it's really simple.

edgartaoron Show HN: Serve your saved articles to a Kindle

Tagging/highlighting cross my mind but I did want to keep this project as simple as possible. Tagging could be possible if I include a sqlite database but I don't think highlighting is possible in the Kindle web browser.

Outside of this project you can get tagging with TagSpaces[1] desktop app and highlighting with the SingleFile[2] web-extension.

>I wonder if/how they'd work on a non-Amazon e-reader?

If the e-reader have a web browser it would work without problems, maybe adjusting css properties a bit.

edgartaoron Some tiny personal programs I've written

I save articles into HTML files with TagSpaces or SingleFile to read them later but I could not find a way to serve them easily to a Kindle Paperwhite and read them there.

I create this simple project to fulfill this need. It was just a weekend project that it's already valuable for me.

edgartaoron Writing books is not really a good idea

>I'm not paying > $40 to read a single book over the course of multiple months

Me neither. Maybe I would buy the book in a presale, but that's it. This kind of selling just work for early adopters, the kind of people who stand in line for hours to buy a new product.

edgartaoron They're deleting my channel, but they don't know why? [video]

The thing is, this is not only a YouTube channel, it's a small business. Google is literally shutting down a small business without any proof. You could think that it's somewhat illegal to do, but apparently it's not.
