bind mount/overlayfs
use overlayfs / bind mount
Hi,
Is it possible for adsorber to use overlayfs or bind mount instead of backing up original hosts file and replace it?
Would be great cause the original host file is unchanged, and there's no need to worry about losing the backup.
Or maybe I'm just being too paranoid😅
hosts.original is not being honored
# To make any changes to this file please edit /etc/hosts.original
# and run 'adsorber update' to apply your changes.
# Or else your changes will be overwritten by Adsorber once a week.
I edit hosts.original and run "sudo absorber udpate" and I am not seeing the changes reflected in /etc/hosts
Feature Request: Temporarily disable adsorber
There are times when I need to temporarily disable Adsorber, just to check a website the way it normally is, or sometimes when I need to follow a redirected link which its URL is blocked.
This feature could convert to comments all relevant entries.. and un-comment then once re-enabled.
It could also be a feature like,, disable for X amount of time (default 5 minutes).
Unable to install onto system - WGet error
Trying to install this utility (Placing file onto system) under Fedora 40 I have encauntered a problem caused by wget that doesn't recognize the option 'show-progress'. Here's the entire terminal output of a clean install:

Removed Adsorber's Systemd service.
Removed backup as the setup failed.
Uninstalling wget, and thus automatically using curl solves the issue although it's not always possible to uninstall wget due to some dependencies. Is there a way to force the use of curl?
In any case I would also like to thank the developer behind this utility, I can't have a system without it!
P.S. The latest version of wget at the moment on Fedora 40 is the GNU Wget2 2.1.0.
Do not discard changes in hosts file
Besides the comment, I think AdSorber should not discard changes in /etc/hosts.
What it should, I think, is make the block of hosts delimited with a start and end comment. Leave a comment saying this block will be overwritten in the next update, but only delete these chunk and preserve the rest of the file as is
Change default behaviour of `ignore_download_error` to false
The default behaviour is to ignore download errors. In my (quite regular) setup this causes adsorber to not apply anything, because it runs at system startup with systemd, and the wifi doesn't connect that fast.
This results in an empty hosts file, and thus nothing gets blocked except for what's on the blacklist.
When setting ignore_download_error=false in /usr/local/etc/adsorber/adsorber.conf, it still proceeds after a download error when running adsorber update. So it seems the setting is ignored either way.
GLib error
adsorber update puts out this at the moment (last update was done two months ago - no errors then):
