The unified hosts file is extensible. You manage extensions by curating the `extensions/` folder tree. See the `social`, `gambling`, and `porn` extension folders.
`--skipstatichosts`, or `-s`: `false` (default) or `true`, omit the standard section, at the top containing lines like `127.0.0.1 localhost`. This is useful for configuring proximate DNS services on the local network.
