    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.




  • A bunch i really liked were:

    • Hades (and Hades 2) (action roguelike)
    • Dead Cells (side scroller roguelike)
    • Celeste (Precision Platformer)
    • HexCells (puzzle game)
    • Shadow Tactics: Blade of the Shogun (Stealth Strategy, the other games by the same dev are great too)
    • Prey (well, maybe its not an indie, but its great)
    • Vampire Survivors (Bullet Heaven, great to zone out too, lots of things to collect)
    • BugSnax (Not sure if Indie, but a lot more fun than it looks)
    • Cave Story (Side Scroller)
    • Creeper World 4 (Strategy game, I think 4 is the most recent. No need to play older ones unless you want more of the same)
    • Earth Defence force 6 (janky, but fun multiplayer with friends)
    • Heros Hour (strategy)
    • Oxygen Not Included (colony builder)
    • Rim World (colony builder)
    • Satisfactory (Automation game)
    • Pit People (strategy game)
    • Supraland (puzzle game, sequel is fun too)
    • The Talos Principle (Puzzle game, I think its indie?)
    • Undertale (RPG, its fantastic)
    • You must build a boat (Match 3)



  • Oh, I didn’t mean he should give up the value or anything. The point about capital gains tax is somewhat fair as well, but I think there could be ways around that. I’m not a finance expert, but maybe the capitals gains tax could be cancelled and his investments moved to a broad canadian index fund or something.

    The problem with a blind trust (as I understand it) is that the existing investments aren’t going to be changed immediately or even soon, so he still could profit via policy decisions based on what he already had invested.
