I just built my Pi Zero W Pihole and have it up and running for a couple of days. These are the lists that I've chosen after doing some light research:

StevenBlack (Default) - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/hosts

Hagezi Pro - https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/hagezi/dns-blocklists@latest/adblock/pro.txt

Hagezi Threat Intel - https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/hagezi/dns-blocklists@latest/adblock/tif.medium.txt

SmartTV https://perflyst.github.io/PiHoleBlocklist/SmartTV.txt

The SmartTV one prevents my Samsung TV from searching for apps, so I've had to disable that when I need to search for apps. I'm not yet skilled enough to debug and create whitelists or regex filters.

I would love to suppress more ads built into the many streaming services I pay for, including Amazon, Hulu, HBO and a few others, but I'm getting the sense that Pihole is kind of toothless for those platforms.

Are there any other basic lists that I should consider adding? Anything that you pioneers want to educate me about? I'm all ears!

I'm from L.A. I was at SXSW this year (wonderful city you have, by the way) and there was a mobile art project called https://jimmycarterwillneverdie.com/ The idea is that people find a statue of Jimmy Carter, take a photo of where they found it, and then move it so that someone else can discover it. I found this one and I put it on a ledge in front of the Hilton Austin downtown, where this flagpole is. https://maps.app.goo.gl/MazV4AXrtpPrC7y26 The next day, I noticed that the statue was gone, but there have been no updates on its location, so I wonder if it got lost. I remember it being windy that day, so I'm curious if the statue fell into the foliage next to that wall. (The Google image is from 2020, so things look a lot different.)

If any of you have occasion to check, can you please take a look and send Jimmy on the journey he deserves? Or at least let me know that he isn't there? Thanks!
