  from the blog in question

  On January 21, commit ^bbf70ec (warning: very large) added gyrovague.com to dns-blocklists, used by ad blocking services like uBlock Origin. This is actually beneficial, since if you have an ad blocker installed, the DDOS script’s network requests are now blocked. (It does not stop users from browsing to my blog directly.)

  I don’t know more than what the wiki article linked to. It says UBlock blocks it. It doesn’t say any more than that.
