• OnePlus 9 abysmal battery life?

  Facebook is still really common in hispanic countries, what someone can do if they dont use it that often is to run it inside an Island sandbox and disable it when not in use (https://island.oasisfeng.com/). Source: about 1 year ago

• Unused Android phone to monitor a server and remote download

  Check out island for running stuff under different users, it's slick. Source: over 1 year ago

• Running Android Apps "In Jail?"

  Not sure if this fits your exact usecase, but try Island. It (ab)uses the Work Profile feature to isolate apps. Source: over 1 year ago

• Search open source android apps

  When relevant, it would be worth mentioning (or grouping) forks of apps and how they differ. For example, Insular is a fork of Island that is nearly feature identical but has all of the trackers removed. Source: over 1 year ago

• Using personal device for work, how to properly set up work account so device administrator can't wipe my entire device

  If your company doesn't use Microsoft Intune, you can install Island to create a work profile. Android's work profile is great because you can turn off your work apps when you're not working. Source: about 2 years ago

• Creating an advanced search engine with PostgreSQL

  If you're looking for a turn-key solution, I'd have to dig a little. I generally write a scraper in python that dumps into a database or flat file (depending on number of records I'm hunting). Scraping is a separate subject, but once you write one you can generally reuse relevant portions for many others. If you can get adept at a scraping framework like Scrapy you can do it fairly quickly, but there aren't many... - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• What do .NET devs use for web scraping these days?

  I know this might not be a good answer, as it's not .NET, but we use https://scrapy.org/ (Python). Source: about 1 year ago

• BeutifulSoup and getting URLs

  Take a look at Scrapy. It has a fairly advanced throttling mechanism for you to not get banned. Source: about 1 year ago
