How to indicate that a laptop is locked and thus useless for thieves
Hi friends, I followed this guide: https://github.com/drduh/macOS-Security-and-Privacy-Guide and some additional steps to protect my macbook from being accessed by unauthorized people. The key steps I did was a full disk encryption and a custom firmware password. This makes it extremely difficult to repurpose my macbook after for example a theft. The reason I want this is that I often study in university or sometimes work in public places, but I also work as a software developer with sensitive consumer data.

Privacy Guide for MacOS Ventura?
I'm looking for a guide to harden MacOS Ventura, preferably including little snitch/lulu blocklist suggestions for MacOS services. I'm aware of dr druh's guide (that currently doesn't seem to be updated for Ventura though) and isn't including a little snitch/lulu blocklist.

Browser extensions spy on you, even if its developers don't
You can also use a declarative adblocker like uBlock Origin Lite [1], which only provides the browser with a list of elements to filter, but doesn't have any permissions to read content or perform requests. Or simply use your hosts file to apply OS-wide filtering with no browser add-ons needed: https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts
Be aware that if you use these "passive" blocking methods, there are some sites like YouTube where you will see ads, because in these cases it's necessary to actually manipulate page content to hide them. What you can do is use a traditional adblocker but enable it only for these few sites where the declarative approach is not enough, take a look at [2] for more details.

[Paid Release]CCAdsBeGone - Customized Ads Blocking At Your Fingertips
When I select my custom hosts file, it basically breaks internet. However, if I choose a custom hosts file that is a copy of the dev's default, or if I just add a few lines to it, it will work. If I add too many lines, or use a different hosts file altogether (like the ones recommended by the dev), all connectivity breaks. Of course the latest official LetMeBlock is installed and mDNSResponder killed/restarted. I'm using Dopamine on A12+.
