DNS server set to Pihole but no traffic
I've added the Ads & Tracking list and the AMP Hosts list from Developer Dan to the default list; any others you recommend I add? It's hard to tell if the ads coming through are a 'my blocklist isn't good enough' problem or a 'my pihole's not set up properly yet' problem.

Annoying A/B testing mistakes every engineer should know

Is it okay to use pi-hole if I don’t know what the hell I’m doing?
This is how you learn. Going forward you'll start noticing some ads and some not, based on the default adlist. I think the default adlist is good enough for starting. But you should also look into developer dan's adlist and ticked firebog adlist.
-
What filters do you people use for adguard?
Enable most of the default ones, use DNS filtering. I use Cloudflare DNS. And for some third-party filters you can load, I recommend Steven Black hosts, OISD blocklists, Developer Dan hosts and AnudeepND Blacklist.

How to block Facebook? The right way

Facebook Is Receiving Sensitive Medical Information from Hospital Websites
I set up a DNS entry in my hosts file for all facebook/meta domains (https://github.com/jmdugan/blocklists/blob/master/corporatio...) to be blocked (routed to 0.0.0.0). The effectively blocks any data from the "pixel" because when it tries to send it, the request fails.

What are some alternatives?
The Blocklist Project - These lists were created because the founder of the project wanted something with a little more control over what is being blocked. Many lists out there are all or nothing. We set out to create lists with more control over what is being blocked and believe that we have accomplished that.
