The fix

[macdos]

Macrumors keeps on ruining the web with click interactions. Here's to undo it:

sudo pico /etc/hosts

127.0.0.1 quantcast.mgr.consensu.org
127.0.0.1 cdn.onesignal.com

sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder;sudo killall mDNSResponderHelper;sudo dscacheutil -flushcache

Just f all that crap.

The quantcast thing we have no real choice over, it’s the gdpr thing.

the onesignal one is for push notifications. We had our own system before but it kept breaking so we gave up and outsourced it.
