fixed:
I was trying to write a generic script that would work on any device, however I have now changed it to specifically put the 'RM696' in hosts. So the above is N9 only.
I cannot imagine why:
Does not work for you, it works for me. I did not use because I did not know about it! uname -n >> /vi_/brain/unix_vocabulary.

Code:
wget -O ~/hosts http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.txt && echo "127.0.0.1 RM696 localhost" > /etc/hosts && tr -d '\015' < ~/hosts >> /etc/hosts
I cannot imagine why:
Code:
echo "127.0.0.1" $(uname -n) "localhost"

Are you sure it works correctly with uname -n?
Doing:
Creates the entry of "127.0.0.1 RM696 localhost" into the first line of file instead...
Edit: Would you know how to instead in the above commands replace the contents of line 23 with the echo command instead?
Edit 2: Ah just realized my stupidness...The uname echo can remain as first line; it won't make any difference...

This works like a charm to speed up the browser! Are there any new host files to update with?

E: If you just recently ran the one-liner then you are surely updated as the updates are just pushed to the same URL

I guess that on N950 you need to replace RM696 with RM680, right?

the one liner should be put into the op. Or maybe a deb on apps for meego!

I have a strange issue with that.
I downloaded the ad-blocking hosts file from the link given and changed 127.0.0.1 localhost to 127.0.0.1 RM696 localhost manually with kate (I'm on Kubuntu). Then I transferred the new hosts file to my Downloads directory and replaced the original /etc/hosts (I made a copy before).
Everything works fine except the fact that I am not able to access any website when I am in my wireless home network
What is really strange about this issue that I got it working back again when I changed my hosts file back to the standard one. When I tried out the ad-blocking hosts file again it didn't work again for me. But now my old hosts file does not work too! Any tips?
Edit: Well, obviously this could not be caused by the hosts file. there was some encryption error, I changed b&g to b and then to auto108mbps and now it is working again. Very strange. yesterday I downloaded some maps through my wifi...

The download and transfer of file to /etc/hosts works but the $(cat /etc/hostname) didn't put RM696 into the hosts file...
See:
I had deleted the same hosts file that I already had prior to your post so its a fresh test...
Edit: Why not replace (cat /etc/hostname) with (uname -n)?
Edit 2: Replacing with (uname -n) in your command didn't do the change too; will check and report...
