- milesokeefe 14y agoIt's easier to convince yourself to disable that than to face the pressure of others.
- Adirael 14y agoIt worked for me. My reddit habits turned into mouse scrolling looking at pictures, it was "fun" and required no effort on my part. The first week I keept trying to access it and finding my 'default' vhost. Now I don't even miss it when I'm on my PC. I have Alien Blue on my iPad but there I can't just scroll and scroll, I read content I care about on the reddits I like and not /r/all!
- contravert 14y agoThis is incredibly true for me. I blocked time sink websites (like HN ironically) in /etc/hosts for about a day, and then I constantly went back and reverted my changes. Then, I wrote a daemon that constantly checks the host file and puts the blocks back if I changed it. I tried making the installation and operation as obscure as possible and try to forget the metaphoric key. However, I eventually ended up spending a bunch of time to rediscover what I did, so I ended up disabling this script as well...

- bobsy 14y agoThis wouldn't work for me. I would set this up then procrastinate trying to figure out how to get around it.
- eru 14y agoJust make it so, that's it's trivial to get around. (Like the /etc/hosts thing.) Then you instead of spending time thinking of how to get around, you will have to admit what you are doing.
