The patch code looks like a rather convoluted way of patching out the function code. Can we not just replace conditional branch with a regular one and nop out the rest? Or at least set w8 to 1 manually? I know next to nothing about ARM assembly, so I'm most likely missing something.
Reminds me of this[1] great blogpost:
"This abstraction adds overhead. “Abstracting” the common operation has made it more difficult to read, not less difficult to read. People for who consider meta-programming some sort of Black Magic often make this exact point: The mechanism for removing duplication adds complexity itself. One view is that the overall effect is only a win if the complexity added is small compared to the duplication removed."
RSS is great; I'm still struggling to find a compact and lightweight selfhosted RSS reader though. TTRSS seems like an obvious option, however Docker will create some overhead for my home server I imagine.
Oh, I was worried that NewPipe would break! It's a great app. Currently I use Tubular, though, which is a fork of NewPipe with SponsorBlock and Return dislike embedded in.
By the way, the youtube video showcases this project really well.
