PiHole and PFBlockerng are two big ones that use these resources too and setting those up it struck me as it did you that simply polling these resources on a set schedule was a waste.

Podcasting 2.0 has been talking about podping as a solution because podcasting basically has the same problem with periodic polling of the RSS feed. Basically you subscribe and then receive notice there's been an update, THEN you go get it.

The difference is pihole only updates weekly.


Didn't know that, in fact clicking around in the UI I don't see a way to change that so good on them for being friendly in this area.

PFBlocker seems to default to once a day.


To change when pihole updates you edit the cron entry at /etc/cron.d/pihole.


That's what I meant, it's buried in a config file. Not one of those things that should be surfaced in the UI that opens it up to abuse.
