Why do you waste so much time on the internet
I logged off from Twitter and Reddit and blocked it with Leechblock NG [1] on my computer. That took care of 50% of the problem. I would still browse them on my phone.
When I switched phones I decided to not install Twitter or Reddit on the new one for a week.
After getting over some FOMO on the first week, I decided to extend it for 1 month.
I have been "clean" for ~7 months now. Except for the occasional direct link from my mobile phone, and fortunately thanks to the ingrate mobile experience their webs provide, I will probably keep doing this for a while.
I find other ways to distract myself, though (other websites, doing random queries in google, etc). I am working on the underlying problems I have. But for me getting the distractions out of the way first was easier than the alternative.

Internet Restriction/Social Media Time Limiting
There are a few browser extensions out there so I'm hoping for at least one which doesn't sync with the cloud. I hadn't realised before that Leechblock is open source so it's looking like the most likely candidate, if I can sync whatever data it uses manually.

What programs can I use to block browsers for a set amount of time so I can stop surfing and get to what's important?
Haven't seen anyone mention LeechBlock. Its free and has lots of features. It's what I use.

Ask HN: What underrated GitHub / Gitlab project has helped you a lot?
Probably the most underrated software I use daily are some of my Firefox extensions.
https://github.com/einaregilsson/Redirector redirects my YouTube, Google, Twitter and Reddit links to privacy friendly frontends (i.e. Invidious, Startpage, Nitter and Libreddit).
https://github.com/proginosko/LeechBlockNG helps me staying away from time sinks on the internet during the day.
On the development side I use...
https://github.com/aaronvegh/nsregextester as my tried and true tool for regex debugging.
https://github.com/mhutchie/vscode-git-graph is a marvelous Git GUI for VSCode.
