Unused memory is wasted memory

Hm, I only ran update-grub

Ran update-initramfs from the chroot trying to repair it

Found that there is a cleaner way in /etc/default/grub with grub commandline arguments. But that wants a source= variable which is weird to me as that hardcodes a drive in there that wasnt there first?

Tbh I will try this on a secondary laptop now, I reinstalled that thing like 5 times now and am a bit traumatized XD

Luckily we have more than enough

Interesting that might be the case. The install was Deb12, updated to 13. Might not have updated the grub.

But this happened AFTER the 13 upgrade, not before. So rather a newer grub version.

You are looking for an outbound firewall

Like the others recommended

OpenSnitch has multiple detection ways, eBPF might require activation in the kernel, there are others too, 4 in total

For me on NixOS it worked in eBPF and proc mode. NixOS’ weird binary placement makes rules less secure I guess as it can only check commands (if it were nix-native it could use a function for that)

And I had tons of "unknown process"es which I needed to allow to not break things, which kinda makes the thing useless

It is clearly mentioned that

1. A huge amount of people use Windows 10 or older. Being a privacy elietist does not change that
2. This is for people needing windows software
3. The result is fine but still not private, simply a more reasonable OS
