Oh you evil genius. I’m stealing this idea.

  Please do! I use AdGuard Home [0] and the built-in mechanism for "blocked services". [0]: https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardHome https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardHome

    It isn't the push-button setup that you've built, but PiHole is a decent option for this purpose as well. Occasionally I add social media sites (including HN) to the block list. It's very easy to bypass when I really want/need to, but it does cut down the more unconscious "CMD + T - news/redd/face - enter" moments that happen when I'm bored. Prevents the occasional unnecessary mindless scroll by creating a couple extra steps.

      That's exactly right - It's always good to put roadblocks and increase resistance to bad habits, and take away roadblocks and decrease resistance to good habits. It works better for me than cold turkey.
