This might be an unpopular opinion but python's speed wouldn't even be an issue if it was 5x slower than it is now.

Python is a language designed for write-time performance, not runtime performance.

rockstar sounds reasonable for this, probably not most primitive though

Hope you are good at explaining the benefits of rewriting bad code.

Also, shrimps IS bugs! Someone should get a tattoo of that.

It does create a MITM vulnerability, the question is just whether it matters or not. With HTTPS a third party will only know which url you're accessing. With HTTP they can see exactly what data is transferred and can modify that data at will.

So adding HTTPS here accomplishes:

  • hiding which exact page of the hacker's dictionary you're accessing
  • hiding the exact contents of the page
  • ensuring that this page doesn't get modified in transit

None of these are really an issue, so using http in this situation is fine. In general though, I'd consider not having HTTPS as a bug for most sites, unless you're extremely resource constrained on either side of the connection and you think carefully about the security and privacy implications

Here: "yes it does support TLS1.3"

You can run pihole on any linux system, not sure how compatibility is with windows/macos. I used to just run it locally. It also has some speed benefits to run it on the same machine that consumes it
