I’ve seen this at least 4 times and I’ve never noticed the chemtrails part. I always just pat myself on the back that I found the right cloud on the chart and move on.

I also recommend unpackerr if you’re getting zip and rar files, but that wasn’t clear from your original post. Just know if you track hardlinks with something like qbit_manage, those torrents will show up as having no hardlinks.

I feel like this is important to call out.

Between 1999 and 2015, more than 700 post office branch managers were accused of theft or fraud because computers wrongly showed that money was missing. Many were financially ruined after being forced to pay large sums to the company, and some were convicted and sent to prison. Several killed themselves.

That’s how I started as well. You can always change it up later and whitelist/blacklist domains manually as you go.

I read it as the tool helps maintain a dynamic list of adlists, it will help add and remove lists based on the configuration whereas if you just add a bunch of adlists yourself (like in the gui), pihole will monitor them for domain updates weekly but it’s always the same set of adlists.

I use these for guidance https://github.com/jacklul/pihole-updatelists https://firebog.net/
