Block Adware and Malware with /etc/hosts

Don't forget about hosts.deny (but you probably need it at your router if you are behind one).

How to add custom blocklist?
I think the main source I use that doesn't seem to be in rethinkDNS is the Ultimate Hosts Blacklist's hosts and/or hosts.deny files.

Adblock from MX Linux
So it presumably has the same function as a hosts file. You can find examples like this which is portable to any Linux (or Windows) installation.

Goodbye chrome, hello Opera Gx, Firefox, Microsoft Edge and Brave!
One thing I can suggest that will ALWAYS work is blocking known ad websites on host file level: https://github.com/Ultimate-Hosts-Blacklist/Ultimate.Hosts.Blacklist (or equivalent, there's a lot of resources for it if you look it up)
- Blocklist of all Facebook domains (2016)

Google has a secret deal with FB called “Jedi Blue” that they knew was illegal
that is way obsolete by now. you need to be using Brave with ublock origin, this dns service https://github.com/Ultimate-Hosts-Blacklist/Ultimate.Hosts.B... ClearURL's, HTTPS Everywhere, and Random User Agent. I also use whoogle for a local privacy enhancing filter of google data with all ad elements stripped out (and that is if I even use google I usually use ddg).

Are there any solid and straightforward guides on Installing Nextcloud with NGINX & PHP8.1? I could really use a hand, I've been at this for 2 days now.
the subdomain example nginx config from NextCloud with a few changes like TLSv1.3 only, geoblocking and some bot blocking from here and a few other security tweaks. The nginx file is basically a server block as an include separate from the main nginx.conf. The configuration gets an A+ in security from NextCloud's checker and others.

Ask HN: Any way to ban GPT-4 and others from harvesting my content and data?
Use nginx anti-bot[1] or product such as Fastly or Cloudflare anti-bot feature, which blocks content scrapping and only allows specific bots using rules or AI. Another option is to block VPN, cloud and hosting companies' ASNs. There is no benefit for you allowing someone to scrap your content apart from Bing and Google. The rest of the bots can die, or you will lose your content to scrappers. So finally, put it behind a paywall if possible. Of course, the paywall only works if you have good content or buying ads to promote it. Good luck, mate.

Videolan.org Robots.txt
I used the ultimate Nginx bad bot blocker on a couple of my side projects, and it is a pretty good project https://github.com/mitchellkrogza/nginx-ultimate-bad-bot-blo... . Apart from the Cloudflare offers UA blocking and AI driven bot management too. Most of these bots are for content scrapping and then creating search spam results. I am a one-person show, and it hurts both financial and resources wise on severs. So I block them.

Google Drive may restrict files identified as violating ToS
Same experience here, one spammer DOSing my site, always with similar patterns. I'm already behind Cloudflare and use https://github.com/mitchellkrogza/nginx-ultimate-bad-bot-blo... but I still have to identify and block them manually, which is annoying and a waste of time. Some IP-range blocks affected users so it's not fine grained enough. I wish I could identify, expose and sue them into oblivion.
