#64We used to do this in the firewall at my first job. Every weekend the founder of the company would get drunk and login to servers and mess things up. So every weekend it was my job as the junior to go into our FreeBSD firewall and uncomment or update an ipfw line that blocked his IP-address.
I assume you are really talking about your current job at Twitter...

Sure it wasn't a weird grazing ritual? A cron script would've replaced you doing that, more efficiently and reliably.
When I did military service abroad, the new chefs rotating down was put on "sandwich alert" in which anyone on camp signal centers could call in the middle of the night, requesting a nice sandwich delivered. It was all fun and games, they were shortly let in on the thing and we all laughed at it afterwards. No-one abused it.

#66Who needs a productivity blocker if you have Microsoft Windows?
Good news! Your computer is ready for Windows 11! And how about a nice game of Solitude Candy Smackers (TM)? Have you tried the new Microsoft Edge web browser? It's not a browser, it's a WOWser!

Because of those legit reviews, that you ignore at first because who even reads these picked out reviews and then start to realize what is written there?

#69I have found Leechblock useful in Firefox - it allows blocking or a delay before showing a page with a reminder this is a time waster site.... https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/leechblock-ng...
I love this addon!
Re: Productivity Blocker
#70I'm somewhat disappointed that there is no Firefox version. However, given that the author most likely uses his extension, I can see what might have happened.
I always thought firefox and chrome share a standard where you could build one extension and use them on both platforms?
