Pi-Hole: network level ad-blocker.

Somebody mentioned this Raspberry Pi project over at Monster Hunter International today, so I looked it up and it is pretty nice.

Basically this uses a Raspberry Pi computer as a DNS server to suck up all the advertisements that infest everything we do on the internet. Its a free project, runs on the cheapest possible hardware, and it apparently blocks ads like a boss. I bought a new Raspi-4 yesterday, this is a perfect project to run on it. I'm going to give it a whirl and report back on results later. (Could be much later, there's a ton of work going on here at Chez Phantom lately.)

In the mean time, here's a pretty complete video of the project from Adafruit.
