Help with installing libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-0v5 (Veracrypt dependency) on Debian 12
The issue is described there: https://github.com/veracrypt/VeraCrypt/issues/1046 . Apparently newer libwxgtk works on Arch. Other option is to compile it yourself or you the Veracrypt package from nightly builds.

Is NVMe still slow to encrypt?
It is still a problem, but there are some registry values you can tweak to improve the performance, check https://github.com/veracrypt/VeraCrypt/issues/136 for discussion.

Debian 12 "bookworm" released
Before I upgrade though, worried about veracrypt due to https://github.com/veracrypt/VeraCrypt/issues/1046
- Why is This Software (and Linux) so Endlessly Broken?
-
Is VeraCrypt .deb installing well in Debian Bookworm (currently Testing)?
Wait, is that the same as compiling it oneself, like is talked about here? https://github.com/veracrypt/VeraCrypt/issues/1046

How to encrypt my files?
Veracrypt container if you want to have complete encryption without exposing any metadata to the cloud provider.

I pwned half of America's fast food chains, simultaneously
There's a very good relatively new open-source GUI firewall app like this called Portmaster:
https://safing.io/
It's available for Windows and Linux

Port forwarding done by university network admin, they opened every port past 1024???
You can get your own firewall app. Portmaster by safing.io lets you open and close what ever ports you want on your windows system

For Context: Technical Introduction from https://github.com/safing/portmaster#technical-introduction
Portmaster is a privacy suite for your Windows and Linux desktop.
Base Technology
- Portmaster integrates into network stack using nfqueue on Linux and a kernel driver (WFP) on Windows.
- Packets are intercepted at the raw packet level - every packet is seen and can be stopped.
- Ownership of connections is found using eBPF and `/proc` on Linux and a kernel driver and the IP Helper API (`iphlpapi.dll`) on Windows.
- Most settings can be defined per app, which can be matched in different ways.
- Support for special processes with weird or concealed paths/actors:
--- Snap, AppImage and Script support on Linux
--- Windows Store apps and svchost.exe system services support on Windows
- Everything is 100% local on your device. (except the SPN, naturally)
--- Updates are fully signed and downloaded automatically.
--- Intelligence data (block lists, geoip) is downloaded and applied automatically.
- The Portmaster Core Service runs as a system service, the UI elements (App, Notifier) run in user context.
- The main UI still uses electron as a wrapper :/ - but this will change in the future. You can also open the UI in the browser
Feature: Secure DNS
- Portmaster intercepts "astray" DNS queries and reroutes them to itself for seamless integration.
- DNS queries are resolved by the default or configured DoT/DoH resolvers.
- Full support for split horizon and horizon validation to defend against rebinding attacks.
Feature: Privacy Filter
- Define allowed network scopes: Localhost, LAN, Internet, P2P, Inbound.
- Easy rules based on Internet entities: Domain, IP, Country and more.
- Filter Lists block common malware, ad, tracker domains etc.
Feature: Network History ($)
- Record connections and their details in a local database and search all of it later
- Auto-delete old history or delete on demand
Feature: Bandwidth Visibility ($)
- Monitor bandwidth usage per connection and app
Feature: SPN - Safing Privacy Network ($)
- A Privacy Network aimed at use cases "between" VPN and Tor.
- Uses onion encryption over multiple hops just like Tor.
- Routes are chosen to cover most distance within the network to increase privacy.
- Exits are chosen near the destination server. This automatically geo-unblocks in many cases.
- Exclude apps and domains/entities from using SPN.
- Change routing algorithm and focus per app.
- Nodes are hosted by Safing (company behind Portmaster) and the community.
- Speeds are pretty decent (>100MBit/s).
- PSA: Intel Graphics Drivers Now Collect Telemetry by Default

Thoughts on safing.io
Portmaster itself is open source (https://github.com/safing/portmaster)
-
Count me out on next releases
Then install https://safing.io/ (Portmaster); it's free.
