Show HN: Gandalf, a simple and brutalistic URL blocker
Hi everyone, I just wanted to show a small python tool that I created today to avoid my own procrastination at work (which is ironic, given that I've procrastinated to do this). It's a URL blocker based on entries in /etc/hosts. It has a command called gandalf to start and stop the service blocking and adding or removing URLs.

I must say, it's very brutalistic, I've done it in a few spare hours I had yesterday and today, the codebase is extremely simple and it just does it job, nothing else. It contains a PKGBUILD for Arch Linux but I still haven't submitted it to AUR.

Hope you like it! Any comments are welcome.
