- sidcool 6y agoWhat about Mobile phones?
- uberman 6y agoAndroid will allow one to edit the host file via debug mode, but I don't think it can be done on apple without a jailbreak. If this is a home network, your router might allow one to set DNS records for your local network It seems reasonable that there could also be firewall apps that you could run to block outbound traffic to reddit but I have no experience with them.
- floxy 6y agoI hope that works for some people, but it is too much like: "I've buried the heroine in a box in the backyard." It is too easy to dig it back up.
- floxy 6y agoYikes, that typo turned dark quickly. heroine -> heroin
- dyingkneepad 6y agoFirefox seems to ignore /etc/hosts on Linux, since I have Hacker News set to localhost and I'm browsing it right now. I tried the LeechBlock extension (I think it works even on Mobile), but I always end up disabling it :(. Also for some reason it eats a lot of system resources.
