Re: Listing subdomains of [social media] websites for /etc/hosts blackhole-ing

someone should track all its subdomains in a text file

Someone did that already

Allow me to quote myself:

Someone ~ should maintain a list

Someone already did that: https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts (scroll down a bit to see many different categories hosts files).

I'd still prefer some folder like /etc/hosts.d where you can put files for any website in individual files. That'll make it much simpler to add new subdomains without breaking everything. Maybe using something like https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/60549/etc-hosts-file-refer-to-another-configuration-file

I would have suggested exactly what it shows there already:

Code:

cat /etc/hosts.d/*.conf > /etc/hosts
