Are big blocklists full of old inactive entries?

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/pihole

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • PyFunceble

    The tool to check the availability or syntax of domain, IP or URL.

  • Assuming we can test 100 domains per second, that's about 3 hours non-stop for a combined list of a million domains, merely testing for nxdomain without actually trying to make any http get. PyFunceble do http get, and they pointed out it could take days, with Dead Hosts service available for source lists to save us from wasting so much cpu clock. So it seems it's already being done for us by the list maintainers.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
