Anyone getting a lot of these Vini memes on their feed?

It's a meme you fucking idiot, you know something that shows up on your feed because it's popular, nothing to do with hacking anyone's address.

A meme (/miːm/MEEM) is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.

This particular meme is about Vinicius Jnr crying.

Don't what you're banging on about, nobody has got my address, the Vini memes are widely available on anyone's feed, not just mine. I think you're reading too much into it and lay off the koolaid.

So why bring this bollocks up at all in the first place?

Oh, and you don't know who has your address.

You might like it to be that nobody has, probably because you haven't knowingly personally handed it out to anyone, but you have no control on data exchange on the internet once the information is out there.

Now, is there something else?

Oxsnore, what's with all the bash commands???

Ubuntu needs them to recognise and run a script.

If you run another o/s then simply pick out the relevant bits and modify your firewall as needed.

What the scripts do is basically prevent your (my) pc from sending anything whatsoever to meta/facebook - particularly stuff generated by a 3rd party cookie placed on the pc by another website (msm sites are rather fond of doing this).

The sender of the Vini memes got your address from somewhere - social media is a pretty good bet.

You can do the same with Twitter/X, Tik-Tok or any other site you choose., but, of course then you'll lose the functionality of those sites, too.

1. Install whois (Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install whois ArchLinux: pacman -S whois), and (similarly) awk

2. Copy these 2 scripts:#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/whois -h "whois.radb.net" -- '-i origin AS32934' | grep -E "^route:" | awk '{print $NF}' | sed -r 's/(.*)/iptables -I OUTPUT -d \1 -j REJECT/' | source /dev/stdin

/usr/bin/whois -h "whois.radb.net" -- '-i origin AS32934' | grep -E "^route6:" | awk '{print $NF}' | sed -r 's/(.*)/ip6tables -I OUTPUT -d \1 -j REJECT/' | source /dev/stdin
#!/bin/bash

/usr/bin/whois -h "whois.radb.net" -- '-i origin AS32934' | grep -E "^route:" | awk '{print $NF}' | sed -r 's/(.*)/iptables -I OUTPUT -d \1 -j ACCEPT/' | source /dev/stdin

/usr/bin/whois -h "whois.radb.net" -- '-i origin AS32934' | grep -E "^route6:" | awk '{print $NF}' | sed -r 's/(.*)/ip6tables -I OUTPUT -d \1 -j REJECT/' | source /dev/stdin
As root save as blockfacebook and allowfacebook respectively in /usr/local/bin and make sure they are executable:

sudo cp blockfacebook /usr/local/bin/

sudo cp allowfacebook /usr/local/bin/

sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/blockfacebook

sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/allowfacebook

3. Copy blockfacebook.service in /etc/systemd/system/ and make it executable:

sudo cp blockfacebook.service /etc/systemd/system/

chmod +x /etc/systemd/system/blockfacebook.service

4. Copy blockfacebookrestart in /etc/cron.daily/ and make it executable:

sudo cp blockfacebookrestart /etc/cron.daily/

chmod +x /etc/cron.daily/blockfacebookrestart

5. Enable and start the service:

sudo systemctl enable blockfacebook

sudo systemctl start blockfacebook

If you want for some reason to unblock temporarily the access to Facebook then execute:

sudo /usr/local/bin/allowfacebook

Probably easy enough to adapt for Windows/Apple, but I don't need to, so I won't.

Note that this also blocks WhatsApp as it shares a common AS number with Facebook
