I don’t a single guide for you but I can layout a road map.

1. A programming language. I prefer Python.
2. Basic HTML syntax and CSS selectors
3. HTTP, specifically methods, status code (no need to memorize all cuz you can go look it up), and cookies

After you got those foundation ready, you can go on and try to build a webscraper. I advice aginst using Scrapy. Not because it is bad but too overwhelming and abstracted for any beginner. I will instead advice you use requests for HTTP, and BeautifulSoup4 for HTML parsing. You will build a more solid foundation and transition to scrapy later when you need those advanced function.

When you get stuck, don’t afraid to pause on your attempt and read tutorials again. Head to the Python Community on Discord to get interactive help. We welcome noobs as we once were noobs too. Just don’t ever mention scraping there as they can’t help if they suspect you’re trying to do something inappropriate, malicious, or illegal. They are notoriously aginst yt-dlp which frustrates me a bit. Phrase it nicely and in an generic way. I will be there occasionally offering help.

There is no simplification that you’re looking for. It seems you don’t have a programing background. If you really need to scrape something, you need to learn a programing language, HTTP, HTML, and maybe javascript. AFAIK, there is no easy way or point and click scrapper building tool. You will need to invest time and learn. Don’t worry, you should be able to get it done in 2-3 months if you do invest your time in.

Starting out with Python by Tony Graddis

I read the 3rd edition in library, now it’s 6th. Don’t know if it is as good as the memory serves.

How about torrenting?

Ops. Missed that part.

I use BTRFS for snapshots, and auto compression. Maybe it can be done with raids with LVM? AFAIK BTRFS redundancy is basically the same as traditional RAID, similar to using mdadm. Still, you would want a backup strat instead relying on the disk redundancy. I learn that the hardway.

I would just skip RAID, add all disk to a single BTRFS and use the built in profiles for (meta)data redundancy.

Cache I don’t know much tho.

Is this finally the dusk of SO? It helps alot, but also suck alot.

Yay, more subscriptions.

👌Adobe, I am sticking to my Affinity Photo 1.

It is their job to find evidences, not my resposibility to provide them.

I’m on S21FE and it does NOT.

Not that hard to deal with honestly. Rebooting at night which I’m sleeping does not reduces any functionality, cuz I’m not using it. If someone needs to find me during the night he better call me cuz I won’t wake up by notification which is also suppressed by DND. Yeah it is not design for security but a solution better than none.

Furthermore, rebooting the device periodically is good for security, especially for non-persistent fileless malware.

It does, labled “Auto Restart”, but only when “preformance issues detected” or time specified. Apple is quite late on this feature.

“new security feature” “warning”

🙂

Utill you’re no longer live in the US. I can’t find Ptivacy alternatives after moved out.

I wish it can be installed as PWA

Unfortunately, the work profile is already used up.
