Hello,

Thank you for creating and maintaining this list. When I am loading it in Pi-Hole I am noticing an error that says 1 domain invalid. It lists githubusercontent.com as what I believe is the offending domain??

Thanks, Steve

Ahhh! Thank you for bringing this to my attention. It should be xn--gthubusercontent-8rb.com - it will be fixed in the next update. Thank you again!

To provide a bit extra information- the domain is gíthubusercontent.com - notice the í in git instead of i- I do not recommend visiting the domain as it's likely malicious.

Just checked my router's log: DD-WRT (build 40270M) - Syslogd dnsmasq apparently can't read those characters 😄
