hosts file

@el mariachi you need to edit the host.local and add you host name. The same that is in /etc/rc.conf to solve the delay

@vwyodajl yes it's inspired in graysky's hosts_update but mine is better

- More lists,
- Only download files if updated.
- 0.0.0.0
- and different commands to proccess the texfile

@ewaller I think that more important than the age of a post is it's RELEVANCE in PRESENT time.

Hosts file is everyday relevant in Linux, Windows and maybe other OSes

With that attitude only discourage participation.

Right you are. This is the basis of our policy to not continue too old threads but to open a fresh, more visible one and link back to the old thread if relevant. Just to quote from our Forum Etiquette.

If you have something to add and judge that your information is related, but more up-to-date, start a new thread and link to the old if desired, but avoid duplicating effort by posting information already contained in the Arch wiki.

Thus forcing a new thread as done in this case is exactly what was needed.

BTW: The bracketed part of the thread title is not very useful. Remember, titles are there to find relevant information, not to rant. Please reword this asap.

ontobelli, damn what the size of the host file was getting big, 269823 entries for me. How does that effect the speed when browsing, in general?

Bellum · 2012-02-16 15:01:36

I haven't noticed any difference, but some of those entries are legitimate sites. hosts.hphosts blocks pastebin?

I think that way is inefficient, many duplicated threats and more complicated for the reader. But is your forum.

I never notice a delay. Read from it takes a few milliseconds and most probably it's already in RAM the second time you need it.

You can chose which lists to download. In my case it works great to block ads and protect me from dangerous sites.

Yes, I have the same inconvenience with some sites. That's why I added the line.

# remove unneeded blocked sites
grep -Ev ' dl.dropbox.com| host_you_want_to_whitelist' "${TMPFILE}7" > "${TMPFILE}9"

Just modify it to your needs.

# remove unneeded blocked sites
grep -Ev ' dl.dropbox.com| pastebin.com| www.pastebin.com' "${TMPFILE}7" > "${TMPFILE}9"

Cheers.

My awk fu says this is clearer

grep -v -i -f whitelist hosts.mvps hosts.hphosts hosts.partial hosts.adservers hosts.yoyo hosts.sysctl | \
awk '
/^127.0.0.1/ {
	print "0.0.0.0", tolower($2)
}
' | sort | uniq

Do people not like awk?
How do you live?

Edit: also needs a cleanup if a comment immediately follows the url without a space separator, but I leave that as an exercise to the reader.

I have no idea. I'm a complete noob with Linux and Unix tools.

But any improvement is welcome. Awk syntax looks simple and clear. I hope also faster than the original.

@el mariachi If you're sure that the /etc/hosts has in the first line "127.0.0.1 YOUR_HOST_NAME" then I don't know what the problem is. Maybe the problem is your DNS server.

ontobelli · 2012-02-18 07:46:24

Some improvements using pipes instead of tmp files.
Awk is not my friend yet, but I'm learning, to use it in future version.

yes I'm positive my dns how? I don't have a custom one set.
thanks for the help though

Bellum · 2012-02-18 21:00:14

FWIW, I use urxvt and haven't noticed anything. Try using urxvtd + urxvtc?

el mariachi · 2012-02-18 21:24:52

that's what I'm using. So maybe I changed something?

Bellum · 2012-02-18 22:09:33

Possibly. I haven't been able to find anything about urxvt reading /etc/hosts. It isn't in the man page anyway.

Thanks to ontobelli, I have made an "installation folder" using this script, with some minor modifications, as well as a couple of others from elsewhere.
I have naturally first tested this on myself ;-)
I didn't find any harmful effects, but saw some benefits.
As an inexperienced Linux user (for about a year, after several years of experimenting) I'm very much open to suggestions.
In deed I would also be very happy if someone more experienced and skilled in these could take this amateur work and make it something more like a "Hosts Manager Utility" and maintain it properly instead of me.
If you are interested, first you need to download a compressed file from here:
http://minus.com/mblIoq0NI6/1f
And then extract the "hosts-manager" folder in it, and start by reading the file "hosts-manager-readme.txt" first.
Kind regards,
Sadi

ontobelli · 2012-04-04 10:01:24

@Sadi

Very nice work. And a big step forward.

Testing it.

sadi · 2012-04-16 18:06:32

I've made an attempt to provide a GUI for it by means of Zenity as well as a couple of other improvements.
So here is version 0.91:

gaenserich · 2012-04-17 15:00:19

I didn't notice this thread until after I posted my own cronscript here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=139784

It has a couple of nice advantages, including being a little bit more flexible with your lists (just use "addurl (url)" instead of using wget -O etc for each entry), it preserves entries from your original target file, and it's non-interactive (i.e. can be used as a cronscript)

@el mariachi: One way to make up for any performance penalty from a hosts file is to use dnsmasq as a cache server (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dn … ache_Setup)

sadi · 2012-04-17 17:25:15

@gaenserich: Thanks a lot for sharing.
Obviously there are a couple of things to study and learn from your script, especially your addurl and addzip subroutines.
But I wonder why you preferred curl to wget though.
For your information, I've also found a nice script at Puppy Linux forum, which uses gtkdialog3 and provides a nice GUI.
I'll paste it here as it is in a puppy package file, i.e. pet.

@sadi Curl has a number of small advantages over whether (see http://daniel.haxx.se/docs/curl-vs-wget.html), plus it's included on os x, so i can use the same script on my wife's box.

I also didn't include a GUI since I use this script as a cronjob that runs once every day or week in the background.

Just updated my own script, now available via the aur. See https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=139784
