I'm fond of Freedom - http://macfreedom.com/ http://macfreedom.com/
It kills your networking a configurable period, with the only way to circumvent it being a reboot. Or so it claims. The claim alone is enough to keep me from trying simple things like an ifup. And that's what I needed.
- wheels 17y agoSeriously, Freedom is a lifesaver for me. If I find myself getting stuck on getting to work setting up a 1-2 hour session is usually enough to get me into the zone. Usual objections are, "But I need to look stuff up online." Usually you don't. Get local copies of your API docs, and get used to searching through existing code for solutions. I'd say that usually I can find an example of whatever I'm trying to solve with grep + spotlight almost as fast as I could find it online and there's not the extra cost of potentially ending up in a surfing session.
- stcredzero 17y agoInstead of taking away all network, what about your own configurable proxy server? All I need is some sort of periodic restriction on my favorite procrastination sites. (Like Hacker News) I couldn't use a total network restriction for my current work. I need to interface with stuff I can't install on my own machine.
