setuptools VS hosts

To be fair, that seems to have been a 2 year warning:

https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/commit/3544de73b3662a27fa...

There was/is some discussion in setuptools about how to normalize the tarball (https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/2133#issuecomment-...) coudl something similar be applied to Building Python itself ?

For example, when it comes to Python, one option is to use the same packaging system that a huge number of open-source libraries and tools are published with. You can use setuptools or Hatch to build a "packaged" version of your code, and publish it to either the public PyPi repository or an internal one that you set up. Then your users can use pip to install your package, automatically fetch its dependencies, and keep it up to date, just like any other Python module.

You could maybe make it a click Application, and use setuptools.

Not sure how advisable it is to depend on setup.py given the setuptools team has very clearly stated that they are not interested in supporting any cli commands anymore including setup.py install. Relavant PR

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+.
