Pro-tip: do some backups. Cheap VPS can disappear overnight.

You may reuse some concepts I have described for an audio adblock: https://www.adblockradio.com/blog/2018/11/15/designing-audio...

More precisely, audio spectral preprocessing then neural network such as LSTM.

Wow, how can you enforce a limit on simulation time?

Can't they use a secret cloud somewhere?

Flattr? Patreon? Google contributor?

Huh, is'nt Brave built on libChromium?

The ML algo of Adblock Radio could be used to bypass those video ads. The case of radio ads is a typical example of server-side ad injection.

(Disclaimer: I built this)

Isn't it a local VPN?

It's actually a smart domain registrar unsubscribe once the goal is achieved!

Also, this gives a way to entities who control the payments control who can send emails.

Might be a concern in authoritarian regimes.

Weren't there a project with proof of work?

Smarter, less disruptive move: block research and put all Facebook apps in some kind of security sandbox with the sole intent to slow down the experience.

I think such statement is hazardous.

What if you need to build maps for all the world? What if you want to go to Mars? What if you want to build a payment system?

Small actors could not do that.

IANAL but in Europe, for such streams to be legal you need to use them in reach of the Hertzian signals of TVs.

See about VCast for example. https://www.nextinpact.com/news/105549-lextension-copie-priv...

Isn't it what GPL is about? Forcing users to follow the rules of the club?

Here is a gross example to make my point.

Imagine, when buying your groceries, you had to pay half cash, half by prostituting yourself. Nobody would want that.

Though, prostitution is a valid funding model, as sex workers earn a living with it.

To extend the metaphor, I see advertising as some kind of prostitution for my brain. I do not want that for my brain.

It may be possible, research is needed on that topic

It's a pity in my opinion. But I understand magazine business is hard and you cannot give an alternative ad free format, more expensive, in kiosks.

I plan to "man in the middle" the HTTP stream.

I am working on a "Man in the middle" device that would filter audio streams before they reach players like Google Home.

What makes you sad? The fact that there is not enough funding for fusion plasma research? Or my unconventional career choices? :)

This concept reminds me a nice Youtube video where the presenter suggests to associate brands with unpleasant situations in professional meetings.

It's in French, but there are subtitles. https://youtu.be/AqCB6tGR3hs?t=658

Good point. Note I have designed Adblock Radio to rely on audio only, so that it gives the smallest possible margin for radio operators to circumvent it.

I do not rely on metadata, nor do I use the usual time schedules for ad breaks.

OK, this makes sense, good idea

Thank you for the kind words

With maximally repeated sequences, you can https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/6012115

I would not know how to do it on the web player, such as https://www.adblockradio.com/player/ Do you have an idea?

On standalone players, it a really great idea and it is already being considered.

There is already software to skip TV ads. Not perfect, but good enough apparently. For a short review see https://www.adblockradio.com/blog/2018/12/10/ad-blocking-tv/

You could set that up on a raspberry Pi, to play IPTV.

A pure HDMI pass-through may be expensive because of the HDMI acquisition-side.

I would be really curious. I some day you find it please drop me an email!

I do not understand your sentence :/

What would be your psychological price point for such a product?
