The amazing world of filters
So last night I mentioned using /etc/hosts as a type of filter—and then I come in to work today and find that I need yet another filter, a comments filter.

Last night or this morning this site and ranchero.com got hit with a couple dozen comments spam posts with links to porn sites and such. I deleted them.

But I’m a little bugged about how filters—and places where filters are needed—are proliferating. I even have a filter for my referers page, which I update almost every day.

Spam, wherever it is—in email, web page pop-ups, comments, referers, and so on—isn’t marketing. It’s malice.

sudo vi /etc/hosts
sudo vi /etc/hosts—I’m not advocating anything in particular, I’m just saying sometimes you need to use this last resort of filters.
