Dired Hide Dotfiles

This package is deprecated but can rather easily be replaced by dired-omit-mode like this:

(use-package dired
  :hook (dired-mode . dired-omit-mode))
  :bind (:map dired-mode-map
          ( "."     . dired-omit-mode))
  :custom (dired-omit-files (rx (seq bol ".")))

Also see #8.
