You can write code blocks with a special syntax that makes silverbullet interpret the code block as a script and executes it. It’s referred to as space script in the documentation iirc. You can add commands, text transformers, etc with ease.

The live query templating system is super neat too, I have a few subsections in my notes with an index page that automatically lists all child pages with a summary of the page, if I’ve written one for that page.

+1 to silverbullet. Been using it for a long portion of its lifetime, I love that you can adjust it and add functionality by writing pages in the editor

Umami has been pretty good to me. Plausible was a close choice but I ran into technical difficulties getting it going.

I didn’t get around to trying it, but goatcounter looked promising as well.

I used Apollo and Relay extensively and not having those makes it so hard to even try for me.

Unless they are permanently only using specific addresses or blocks and will never change that up, I’d consider it a moving target.

A flatpak of the snap, running in a docker container inside a vm for maximum security.

Checking ip ownership is a moving target more likely to result in outcomes these sites don’t want (accidentally blocking google bots and preventing results from appearing on google).

Checking useragent is cheap, easier, unlikely to break (for this purpose, anyway) and the percentage of folks who know how to bypass this check is relatively slim, with a pretty small financial impact.

Steam supports fully remote play, you don’t need to use any wacky vpn workarounds
