Time for an update build? #56

Closed Amoeba00 closed 1 year ago

Lots of folks are posting problems with the ERX units and it's a definite result of those two primary lists, OISD and Steve Black, growing so large.

Here are the default results from package installs: July 2022: Total entries extracted 136104 Today: Total entries extracted 234118

I think it makes sense to remove one of them and then update the FAQ with a special ERX/ERX-SFP section with the commands that users can copy/paste if they want to remove/add the other.

Removing Steve Black / Keeping OISD Total entries extracted 59691

Removing OISD / Keeping Steve Black Total entries extracted 194322

Also, as an aside, I was curious about the simple_tracking list with the 34 domains. It appears that while the disconnect.me site and browser extension hasn't been updated in quite a while, they do have a json file that gets updated more frequently.
What's even stranger is that when I remove it from the default package, I get a "Total entries extracted 234360," and putting it back the number goes back down to 234118. Just thought, I pass that one.

Thanks again for all your work on this! Cheers!

@Amoeba00, the package would need to have JSON parsing added to get the disconnect.me lists. You're welcome to create a pull request and add the functionality. Otherwise, I can just remove disconnect.me from the initial install.

Thanks for the update. I didn't figure the package would be able to parse JSON - though it's only a few domains so it won't make a dent either way. Keep up the great work and have a great week!
