Say I want to block, as an example, all top level posts that contain a link to mensheath.com, or vivaldi.com, can I do that?

tldr;

i need an always on, always connected music player that connects to Bluetooth speakers.. without a battery

I have built-in bt speakers in some bedroom furniture. they have a remote that controls volume, play, and pause. they're really meant to connect to an 'always-on' device like a tv. when i connect my phone, they loudly exclaim "bluetooth connected", and "bluetooth disconnected" when the phone bt is turned off or if the phone leaves the area. i like to fall asleep to some relaxing stuff and when i leave in the morning, it of course, wakes up my wife. no good. i've been using a tiny, old android phone (kitkat), always on, always connected. i have a playlist of 50 things that are played randomly and in an infinite loop, but turns off with a timer set from the remote. the remote works well. but, i don't like have a charging battery next to the bed all day and night. AND, i'm not thrilled about the old ass phone that i can't really do anything with.

so, i'm totally overwhelmed with options. i've been looking at all kinds of things that just don't 'do it'. i have been using pi(s) for years (easy stuff, like pihole, basic lan based server with docker, other small projects) , but this is a new uncharted category for me.

• 1 anyone know if the remote ( pause and play ) will work with the bt on a pi? it works with a phone. i believe it even worked with my pc.
• 2 what are some apps that will fit this scenario? it would be cool to have maybe web access to the player
• 3 what pi would work best? music only. seems like a pie zero 2 w would work.
• 4 are there any kits? anything ready built? <-- would love this option

thanks for reading

So I have some "built in" Bluetooth speakers in a piece of furniture. No other inputs are available, just Bluetooth. I'm trying to find an AC or USB powered MP3/audio player that can transmit via Bluetooth to these speakers. I don't care if it has built in memory or if I need to plug in a flash drive out SD card. I don't want it to have a battery because it will always be in one spot and always on. I only need to be able to pause/play from the speaker remote. I've been using a garbage flip phone that I CAN mod and power from USB, but I'd like a cleaner solution. I don't want to use a phone. I don't want to hack something together. I'm having a hell of a time finding something. Probably 10 hours over 2 weeks. I'm drained. Does anyone have an idea?

I installed Cosmic on my current system following steps here.. https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-epoch?tab=readme-ov-file#installing-on-pop_os BUT, I was reading somewhere else also, and that post said to not enable the Cosmic login screen, because it was buggy. So I didn't. I CAN NOT find that post, and i can't figure out what the *(!@&^%# I did. I want to know HOW to enable the Cosmic login screen. I believe I edited some config file.. don't know what... HELP please.

Thanks!

Anyone have experience and an opinion on a solid wireless dongle brand? I'm leaning towards the Motorola one just because of the name and decent reviews.
