[idea] server blacklist

[spcqike]

Hey

thanks for your effort.
as you mentioned in the original repo, I would like to recommend one feature wish:
Create a blacklist of servers.

henrywhitaker3/Speedtest-Tracker#806

Best regards

@spcqike looks like @bdowden is already working on that. Spoke to him earlier and we'll be getting this into the app for sure.

PR should you want to follow along: #16

Looks like --exclude isn't part of the official CLI now. The idea I'm going with is to filter out servers that are closest to the user (via the -L flag), then selecting the first server in that result set.

Listing preferred speedtest servers is available, so closing this one.

In my case, I'd still like a blocklist functionality. There's just one specific server that gets automatically selected sometimes that tanks my graphs, likely due to some problem between me and their server. My workaround is to add all the other servers that do work fine to my allowlist, but as a result, around 10% of the time, I get this error:

{"type":"log","timestamp":"2024-01-14T02:00:03Z","message":"Configuration - No servers defined (NoServersException)","level":"error"}

which messes up my history even more than before, with 0s.

I'm assuming it's because my allowlist isn't exhaustive and all the servers on it are busy at that moment. Unless I'm missing something, I think a block list feature would fix this problem.
