tl;dr what are all the ways I can block a website on linux? Debian if it's relevant.

I want to stop myself using certain sites. Since I'm reasonably techy and can work round all blocks I've come up with, I've found an effective approach is to apply as many hurdles as possible, so that visiting the website takes effort.

So far I've added the site to ublock's block list, and redirected sites via /etc/hosts. What other options are there?

While I have admin access to the router, I'm not allowed to block sites there.

Setup a PiHole and add them to the blocklist. Then make the PiHole password stupid long and write it down. Then take the paper, put it in a safe, and put it in the highest shelf in the back of your closet. Recurse safes and passwords as much as needed.

    Even better, store the password offsite—safe at a friend's house, safety deposit box at the bank . . .
