GM, I’m posting about one cool open source project every day. Today lets check out https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole Pi-hole is a network wide add blocker written in python. It works by blocking requests to advertisements on the DNS level. It even blocks adds that pop up inside iOS apps. You can also use it as a shared hosts file to save DNS entries for any attached device in place of something less user friendly like dnsmasq. It is super simple to setup thanks to a nice interface, good docs, docker images and active community. #OpenSourceDaily

I've been running pi-hole for 3 years now, it's an awesome project

I can’t believe I only just started using it recently. I didn’t realize it could block adds inside apps. Also I used to to finally be able to get https with .local working on all my devices. Even on a VPN
