I prefer absolutely-proprietary myself. It uses Parabola’s blacklists.
Here’s mine.

Yeah I saw it too. It is great that someone took the project.
yay -Si parallel
https://www.gnu.org/software/parallel/sphinx.html
Not really discovered now, but more like forgotten and rediscovered and finally found a use case for: GNU Parallel! This program is actually awesome. It’s very simple, split up tasks into threads and run them at the same time. I use 7z to a lot to unpack (and sometimes pack) a lot of big files. The problem is, 7z only works 1 file at a time and uses only one core of my now 8 core (16 threads) system. With a simple command, I can utilize all cores or as many as I want at the same time.
Example. My script to run 7z in a specific way is following:
extract iso . *.7z
and with parallel running 12 files using 12 threads of my system (I don’t want 100% working of my cpu):
parallel -j12 extract iso . ::: *.7z
I guess running it without -j12 would then use all cores, but I did not tried it yet. Writing this reply while waiting for terminal to finish work.

Convertall is broken . . . . I found another program similar in AUR called ‘Converternow-bin’ in AUR. It works in a similar fashion as convertall in converting weights, measures, distance, temperature, volume. Convertall was a good program but hasn’t been maintained.

I assumed that it was obvious that this was not a youtube link. 
You shouldn’t click on everything that’s on the Internet either 
I just wanted to draw attention to the thumbnails with the -t option
I’ve already tried it. What I don’t like, however, is that synchronization between PC and Android can only take place via a cloud service. I have not found an export function on Android to be able to synchronize the data via Syncthing, for example.
