I wanted to do that, but I had a look at Pi Hole and ran away screaming. Instead of proper packaging, they have a 3000 line install script they want you to pipe into Bash. I went a saner route, and used dnsmasq and a blocklist[1] updated ni

I have just given up on the Apple app store entirely at this point. It feels like 99% of it is pure garbage, and a significant portion of that garbage is trying to trick me with in-app-purchases. Every time I think "I bet there's
