mev-boost VS hosts

FYI, this is fixed now: https://github.com/flashbots/mev-boost/issues/541

mev-boost v1.6 was released yesterday - it's often the part of the validator stack that gets neglected when it comes to updates.

For the setup, did you look at https://boost.flashbots.net/ ? Pretty straightforward, and examples of configuration for validator nodes are provided for each soft (prysm, lighthouse, nimbus...). I remember using that (and potentially doing one or two little adjustments). For the explanation, flashbot doc is nice, you can start here: https://docs.flashbots.net/new-to-mev

Are you also using MEV? Because a few people seem to have this same issue. Maybe it is a MEV-Geth thing. If so could you post your MEV logs?

Ahh I see yep, on the builder side not the validator side. Validators using https://github.com/flashbots/mev-boost but whichever builder gets chosen may likely be using those (especially if flashbots has the highest bid).

Personally I think the risk benefit is better to have mevboost activated. https://github.com/flashbots/mev-boost/issues/518

The same thing happened to me, I opened an issue in prysm and in mevboost, we are not the only ones with bad luck, https://github.com/prysmaticlabs/prysm/issues/12434 https://github.com/flashbots/mev-boost/issues/516 try adding the --build-block-parallel flag I also removed 2 relays, flashboot and brute. Hopefully next time we'll have better luck. sorry for my bad english

MEV-Boost is an implementation of proposer-builder separation (PBS) built by Flashbots for proof of stake Ethereum. Validators running MEV-Boost maximize their staking reward by selling blockspace to an open market of builders.

Not by default but a blocklist can be found here https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts

While it is now unblocked, the Steven Black list has been blocking a lot of innocent CDNs.

How does this compare to using a hosts file with known ad servers?

like: https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts

I use the Hosts file to block a ton of ads and that works really well. https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts Something worth considering if your ad blocker isn't working well.

The no-tracking project used by RaspAP is shutting down, so we took the opportunity to search for open source blocklist alternatives. Among the best is Steven Black's hosts list: https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts

No idea, api.radar.io is on the block list since January 2020.

The commit's comment is "major update from adaway.org"

You can also use a declarative adblocker like uBlock Origin Lite [1], which only provides the browser with a list of elements to filter, but doesn't have any permissions to read content or perform requests. Or simply use your hosts file to apply OS-wide filtering with no browser add-ons needed: https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts

Be aware that if you use these "passive" blocking methods, there are some sites like YouTube where you will see ads, because in these cases it's necessary to actually manipulate page content to hide them. What you can do is use a traditional adblocker but enable it only for these few sites where the declarative approach is not enough, take a look at [2] for more details.

When I select my custom hosts file, it basically breaks internet. However, if I choose a custom hosts file that is a copy of the dev's default, or if I just add a few lines to it, it will work. If I add too many lines, or use a different hosts file altogether (like the ones recommended by the dev), all connectivity breaks. Of course the latest official LetMeBlock is installed and mDNSResponder killed/restarted. I'm using Dopamine on A12+.
