🚀 Request to add the Divested Combined List, default disabled

[rsssxd]

This is a list that combines only permissively licensed lists, has an extensive list of excluded domains to minimize breakage, and uses a wildcard optimization function to effectively compress it.

This list only targets:

• data collection (ads/tracking)
• malware
• spam/scam/phishing

and I have no intent to push any personal bias through it.

Resources:

• The list: https://divested.dev/hosts-domains-wildcards
• List cross check analysis: https://divested.dev/hosts-xcheck
• Webpage: https://divested.dev/index.php?page=dnsbl
• Program (GPL-3.0): https://gitlab.com/divested/simple_hosts_merger
• The lists that are currently included: https://gitlab.com/divested/simple_hosts_merger/-/blob/master/blocklists.txt
• Exclusion lists (mostly CC0): https://gitlab.com/divested/dnsrm
• My lists that are included (mostly GPL-3.0): https://gitlab.com/divested/dnsbl
• The tool used to generate my experimental list (GPL-3.0): https://gitlab.com/divested/dnsblfilter
• The dataset used for the experimental list: https://divested.dev/Domains-20211118.txt.zst

The biggest benefit of this list is the wildcard infomation that is derived from the lists and something no other list reliably performs.

Also wildcards are largely overlooked, here is a recent article on the subject: https://www.kuketz-blog.de/pi-hole-adaway-netguard-und-co-wie-dns-blocking-mit-speziellen-domains-leicht-umgangen-werden-kann/

@rsssxd
why did you post my post verbatim?

This is my list and my projects.

@SkewedZeppelin

This is a feature request to use ad filters.

[SkewedZeppelin]

@rsssxd Yes and you posted my post verbatim, implying that they were yours.

[rsssxd]

I have no reason to do this. I just opened it for a feature request.

And the links are there. Anyone can check who it belongs to.

[rsssxd]

You totally misunderstand.

@rsssxd
I appreciate you posting and sharing my work.
All I ask is if you post my content verbatim including works like "my" and "I", that you'd put it in quotes and post the source link.

🙂
