post	Tampermonkey ad-blocker	true	adblock tampermonkey browser

This ad-blocker script for Tampermonkey won't trigger an adblock-block / adblock-detector script and so you could use it for pages that are annoying you with "please turn of your adblock" messages. It's just hiding the ads and don't try to intercept the requests or remove the ads at all. So it don't make the websites faster, but it makes them cleaner and easier to read.

This script is not a generic solution and has to be configured for every website it should clean up. I don't provide configs for pages, just use your browser developer-tools to find the elements you want remove or click.

WSL2 with GUI using Xvnc

In this tutorial, we will setup GUI in WSL2, and access it using VNC. No additional software outside WSL (like VcXsrv) is required, except, of course, a VNC Viewer (RealVNC, TightVNC, TigerVNC, UVNC, etc, all of them might work flawlessly).

The key component we need to install is tigervnc-standalone-server.

For this setup, I will use Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa, unfortunately 22.04 does not work), and install GNOME Desktop. Since the key components aren't bound to Ubuntu or GNOME, you can use your favorite distro and GUI. Check the Sample screenshots section for examples.

So let's go. First, we need a working WSL2 installation.
