Privoxy is a non-caching web proxy with advanced filtering capabilities for enhancing privacy, modifying web page data and HTTP headers, controlling access, and removing ads and other obnoxious Internet junk.

I experimented with cliget during my replacing web browser components project. I was interested in replacing Greasemonkey and Stylish, Adblock (now I use Adblock Latitude), Change Referer Button, etc. While I did get it working, I didn’t stick with it.

Based on Internet Junkbuster.

A programming language of some note.

I had some small interest in this language, primarily because it’s used for World of Warcraft addon programming and general scripting , but I ended up losing interest in it and in programming in general.

Something about trolls and such, and a little boy who probably becomes a hero.

I didn’t get very far into this. It’s way too over-the-top childish for my tastes. I would recommend this be watched by a parent with their kid. It seems action-packed yet “safe”. Nobody dies, even through major fight scenes.

Properly titled Monkey King: Hero Is Back (2015)
西游记之大圣归来 or Xi you ji zhi da sheng gui lai in Chinese
You may think that “is back” would mean this is a sequel. It is not.

Removes comment IPs from new comments.

This plugin will be useful to people that cannot/or don’t want to use libapache2-mod-removeip (because you don’t use Apache or don’t want to wipe out the IP logging on all vhosts).
