I’ll start. Did you know you can run a headless version of JD2 on a raspberry pi? It’s not the greatest thing in the world, but sometimes its nice to throw a bunch of links in there and go to sleep.

    Any line starting with 0.0.0.0 will automatically “fail” to find the page. For instance, 0.0.0.0 www.whatever.com will completely block that domain. It won’t block www.whatever.co.uk or whatever.com, so you’ll have to add one line for each top level domain. It’s great for blocking the worst ad networks (the ones that leave 6 clickjacks per page) 11

    Pi-hole is worth looking into if you’re into this

      Pihole is a good option, but it’s extra hardware that you need to keep running. Changing your own OS’s etc/hosts doesn’t need anything you might not have ;)
