Hosts-BL

Usage: hosts-bl [options...] <source> <destination> Argument | Description --------------------------|-------------------------------------- -comments | Don't remove comments -compression <number> | Number of domains per line, 1 to 9 -dupe | Don't check for and remove duplicates -f <format> | Destination format: ------------------------ | dnsmasq,dualserver,fqdn,hosts, ------------------------ | ipv6,privoxy,rfqdn,rpz,unbound -from_blackhole <IPv4> | Black hole address in source -i <file> | Source file -o <file> | Destination file -to_blackhole <IPv4> | Black hole address in destination -to_blackhole_v6 <IPv6>| IPv6 Black hole address in destination

By default, dragging and dropping a hosts file over a hosts-bl executable will automatically pick out lines beginning with 0.0.0.0, check for and remove any duplicates, and compress it to 9 domains per line in standard hosts file format with 0.0.0.0 as the black hole address.

In addition to removing duplicates by default, formats which support wild cards will automatically have wild card entries added and all child subdomains will be pruned from the list.

unbound always-nxdomain vs always-null?

someone asked to implement always-null instead of always-nxdomain for unbound for the purpose of ad blocking (and it was done) https://github.com/NLnetLabs/unbound/issues/397

so maybe that's better?
Output file created with incorrect permissions
When running on Linux, the output file is created with owner write-only, global read-only permissions:

This is because the mode argument to os.WriteFile is 644 (01204). It should be 0644.
