Of the items listed, I only use email. Call me a Luddite but all of those other things are just unnecessary distractions. I find that my life is much more focused when I control the funnel of noise. I have an RSS reader for news and email or a phone for communication. All these other potential streams of data are like road signs or commercials: I know they're there but I've made such an effort to ignore them that they just don't register.
Try this:
$ cat /etc/hosts|grep face
127.0.0.1 facebook.com
127.0.0.1 www.facebook.com
- igetspam 11y agoThere should be newlines in there... $ cat /etc/hosts|grep face 127.0.0.1 facebook.com 127.0.0.1 www.facebook.com
- WizzleKake 11y agoyou can just: $ grep face /etc/hosts
- unfocused828 11y agoThe problem with /etc/hosts is that it is too easy to simply undo. I use https://selfcontrolapp.com https://selfcontrolapp.com, which lets you block a list of sites for a set period of time and does not have a way to circumvent that. Well, since the app is open source, you surely could just read the code and figure out a method. However, doing that requires enough focused effort to source-dive and debug something. It is much much easier to prevent oneself from doing that than to keep oneself from editing a file. If anyone is thinking of responding to this comment by speculating how to circumvent the tool, take that to another thread.
