Remove www. from some #40

Closed Rexadev closed 2 years ago

Rexadev commented 2 years ago

Just those I've marked from random picks, are turn up as dead domains. so how have you been able to determine they should be blacklisting (blocking) anything just by flipping the the usage of www.??? I'm really interested as your suggestion are the opuses of any test I can provide.

for blocklist removing www. doesn't matter and this way its future proof for example if sites starts using www1.

@spirillen Why you didn't add any of my suggestions to the blocklist?

That is not true for host/pihole, please read rfc:952 as this is a host file.

Where you argumentation can be right is solely to software that do operate and understand the wildcard like DNS RPZ. Here you will be able to read-in a source and append the *. BUT ONLY IF and WHEN the hole list is to be trusted as wildcard capable like mine wildcard.list this list is not such a list, it clearly says hosts where only exact matches gives points.

  1. Because this is not my project, it is @brianclemens and others project.
  2. These giant lists like https://github.com/tiuxo/hosts/pull/33 takes me up to 6/7 hours to import, by first visiting the site, verify the information etc. etc.: https://github.com/blocklistproject/Lists/issues/565#issuecomment-979670619
  3. I currently actually have imported 45 of your domains. https://mypdns.org/my-privacy-dns/porn-records/-/issues?scope=all&state=closed&search=github.com%2Ftiuxo%2Fhosts%2Fpull%2F33 + 4 from another pr https://mypdns.org/my-privacy-dns/porn-records/-/issues?scope=all&state=closed&search=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Ftiuxo%2Fhosts%2Fpull%2F30
  4. My question is then to ask you why you do not report them to my project if you like me to blacklists them?. I have no power here,
