So to keep the distractions at bay I have added entries into my /etc/hosts file and pointed the link of the site along with others like facebook, etc. towards 0.0.0.0 in the hope of blocking them.
Actually it did work and almost all sites from youtube to facebook doesn't load in the browser.
But the thing is hacker news still loads, even after blocking it from the hosts file. What evil magic is this? Can it be fixed? Are there other work arounds to get the job done?
TLDR; How do I block Hacker News?
Thanks.
