From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Not a direct answer for you, but a different approach.
Psychologically the carrot is better than the stick, meaning you'll keep fighting the lock-out mechanism, eventually resenting it and removing it.
Having an alert to remind you that you wanted to stop will be more pursuasive. (I have a "go to bed" alarm with a gentle, gradually increasing volume on my phone)
What's even better is tying a habit you want (eating, going to bed, etc) into another habit which already exists, but obviously, I don't know you well enough to suggest anything specific, but perhaps something else happens near those times you want to stop and that'll help?
