This kind of thing works to begin with at least.. when that browser plugin in chrome stops me opening HN after 1hour it interrupts the impulse to browse, but then I can alway just open Firefox..
Limits outside ones control are best.. it's amazing how uninteresting youtube is when your data is rate limited.
- mlac 5y agoYeah, giving someone else the keys or password for locking down devices is weird but ideal if it’s a real problem.
- Trex_Egg 5y agoI am going to try out this.
- zz865 5y agoYeah I was going to say I used to have a pihole, worked great for a few weeks until you start disabling it all the time. I wish there were 3G only SIM plans. My prepaid goes slow but only after I hit my limit.
- emacs28 5y agoI've seen 3G-only plans before (in Canada), and they're cheaper: https://www.publicmobile.ca/en/on/plans https://www.publicmobile.ca/en/on/plans
- redisman 5y agoUse a network level solution and don’t do a 1h block. Do a 365 day block to begin with. We’re like those rats with the cocaine button we keep pressing unless you can somehow disable it and go do something else with your time.
- totetsu 5y agoGiven the amount of useful things and new perspective I get here, HN in moderation is a net positive on my effective use of my time. Blocking it outright for a whole year is a bit extreme. I might miss the news that pihole project was suddenly taken over by IBM or something.
