How can I block websites?

5d 4h ago in linux@lemmy.ml

If redirecting with /etc/hosts isn't enough, you could set up a cron job (I guess as root?) to re-copy a hosts file back to /etc/hosts every half hour or something. That way even if you do manually change /etc/hosts for an quick peak of an illicit website, it'll go back to being blocked in a short amount of time. This'll add a bit of the "pain in the ass" factor.

Is that the final one? I didn't want to buy it until it was all done. Although I'll probably wait for a discount regardless...

BC's Family Doctor Crisis Gets Even Worse

I was signed up for that doctor match thing for like 3 years before I gave up and started searching for clinics accepting patients. Luckily I finally got one that way.

Dwarf Fortress is linux compatible, although I haven't played it in years its a colony builder that can get super in-depth. Its interface is a learning hurdle though.

You might like Conan Exiles, its a sandboxy survival game that just got updated recently with better graphics. I kind of feel its more a exploration game than a builder though. Hrm...

Grand Theft Auto V cheat service gets hacked, exposing thousands of gamers

Thats wild. You'd think it would be easy for companies to sue or shutdown those, but I guess not!

I didn't even know cheat "services" was a thing. Its kinda hard to feel bad for the victims though if they were cheaters.

I don't really camp much anymore, but I've always had great experiences camping at sites along forest service roads. Most of them (as far as I know) don't require reservations, which is nice.

Well, I have an idea

I think one of the problems is there isn't really any reliable way to know the date a website was made on, so you can't really filter on that. Its the search engines that keep that information in their indexes, so if you built a new database, it wouldn't have access to it.

I don't see why it wouldn't get spammed by SEO spammed websites and AI spammed websites. Maybe your wikipedia style moderation might help, but it does sound like a lot of work for people when AI can spam new websites faster than any human can review them.

I do think we really do need to rethink the internet though, because its starting to feel pretty useless.

I just want to get something off my chest.

I relate man, the environmental doom stuff just makes everything feel so hopeless.

Google is always listening???

Thanks! I don't trust my phone enough for banking anyway. I'll try this out in the next few weeks.

Edit: Erg, looks like my phone isn't supported by Graphene or Lineage... Oh well.
