Absolutely no need to do kernel level packet filtering for this. You can use the absurdly easy hostfile approach, or a simple self-hosted DNS server. This looks entirely LLM generated as well.

Also... who the hell tries to make changes to a user's sudoers file from their install script? This is an awful project.

The great thing about AI coding is that you never have to learn enough judgment or context to know if something should be written a certain way or not!

The whole thing is AI generated and you can tell from subpar decisions made at every turn.

Can you share a pre made hosts blocklist that is regularly updated & works on Spotify? The ones I've come across are all dated or still let ads through.

Do you mean the github project linked in this post? I'm looking for a hosts based Spotify blocklist that would work on Windows HOSTS or a Pi-hole or something like that.

Someone commented in this thread a few days ago (deleted now) that DNS blocklists do not work on Spotify anymore for whatever reason. I would guess your best option might be spotify on web with ublock origin (but I haven't tried it).
