- user23409 14y ago'cept if it crashed you'd be left with an /etc/hosts in a bad state or possibly corrupted.
- frisco 14y agoFile writes can be atomic. If it's left in a bad state, open vim and fix it.
- Argorak 14y ago/etc/hosts doesn't handle subdomains, for example. Sure, you could list all of them, but if I just want techcrunch blocked, its not the way to go.
