I just put a script on my openwrt router to get all A dns records for reddit and iptables block them.
reddit has become the lowest common denominator of procrastination and my human side cant reasonably control itself.
I dont care anymore about all these fabricated stories and the hivemind filterbubble.
- Polecat 11y agoHow do you know they are fabricated?
- geographomics 11y agoAt its core, this article isn't so much about reddit, rather it's reflecting on the benefits of harm reduction via an altruistic, personal narrative of recovery from opiate dependence. Reddit is just the communications medium.
- ysleepy 11y agoI know. But suddenly everybody cares whats going on on reddit and its just lame. Even the headline here on HN reads like some buzzfed upliftingNews regurgle.
- joaorj 11y agoLOL. Is this for real or are you trying to be funny?
- vonklaus 11y agoThis wouldn't actually block this article or stop reddit from appearing in google searches, no? You just basically edited your host file to resolve these to 0.0.0.0 making the links dead when you follow them. If you have a way to make these links not appear in google, I would be interested to apply this to other sites, but how does this help? Legitimately interested, please expand.
- ysleepy 11y agoIt is almost eqivalent to the hostfile trick. But since switching DNS is too easy and some of my devices default to 8.8.8.8 it is not a sufficient solution.
- Kluny 11y agoThere's an extension for blocking W3Schools from your search results. I bet that could be modified to block reddit or whatever you like as well. Someone else may have even done it already.
- vonklaus 11y agoJust found this[0], a chrome extension by google that lets you block sites and import a massive blocklist. Pretty handy. I had previously just used the self control app and edited my host file, but this would be good to remove temptation.
