## Useful for

- Block ads at the DNS level for the whole home network without a separate server
- Build a custom blocklist from hosts files and AdGuard rules via build_blocklist.py
- Update firmware and blocklist over WiFi through the web dashboard without USB

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-05 (UTC), 19:52–21:21: 1265 → 1294 stars (+29). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +34 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- Over the last two days the pace is 34× that of the previous week and a half.
- Elevated gains were measured on the last 3 completed UTC days in a row. Continued growth is not guaranteed.
- GitHub Trending today: #13, +196 stars.
- GitHub Trending C++ today: #2, +196 stars.
- About 21 forks a day — people are taking the code.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 119
- Issues and pull requests: 17
- Watchers: 12
- Average over the last week: 65 per day
- Usual pace: 2 per day
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 20
- Latest release: blocklist (2026-10-04)

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
Data as of 2026-10-05 21:35 UTC, updated every 30 minutes.
