# url-blocker
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`url-blocker` blocks the URLs that you want to block when you want it to block
|
||
|
|
them.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Let's say that you don't want to visit Twitter during the work week. Create the
|
||
|
|
file `~/.config/url-blocker/rules.json` with the following contents and
|
||
|
|
`url-blocker` will take care of the rest.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```json
|
||
|
|
# ~/.config/url-blocker/rules.json
|
||
|
|
[
|
||
|
|
{
|
||
|
|
"urls": [
|
||
|
|
"twitter.com",
|
||
|
|
"www.twitter.com",
|
||
|
|
],
|
||
|
|
"allowed": [
|
||
|
|
{
|
||
|
|
"day": "Saturday",
|
||
|
|
"timeslots": [
|
||
|
|
"00:00-11:59"
|
||
|
|
]
|
||
|
|
},
|
||
|
|
{
|
||
|
|
"day": "Sunday",
|
||
|
|
"timeslots": [
|
||
|
|
"00:00-11:59"
|
||
|
|
]
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
]
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
]
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Installation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```shell
|
||
|
|
$ nix-env -iA 'briefcase.tools.url-blocker'
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## How does it work?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`systemd` is intended to run `url-blocker` once every minute. `url-blocker` will
|
||
|
|
read `/etc/hosts` and map the URLs defined in `rules.json` to `127.0.0.1` when
|
||
|
|
you want them blocked. Because `systemd` run once every minute, `/etc/hosts`
|
||
|
|
should be current to the minute as well.
