Please advise, still struggling intensely
You mentioned having issues with accessory concepts so perhaps this might help: https://missing.csail.mit.edu/. There's also a chapter on git

I cancelled my Replit subscription
Reflecting a little bit more I don't think it was replit's fault, per-say. But that change should have been made together with a larger adjustment to the program. Like adding a class/unit in the style of [the missing semester](https://missing.csail.mit.edu/) to make sure people came away with a good range of intuitions.

Advice to a Novice Programmer
From MJD's post: I think CS curricula should have a class that focuses specifically on these issues, on the matter of how do you actually write software?
But they never do.
FWIW, MIT's "The Missing Semester of Your CS Education" attempts to deal with this lack, though, even there, it's an unofficial course taught between terms, during MIT's IAP -- Independent Activities Period[1] -- and not an actual CS course.

Osquery: An sqlite3 virtual table exposing operating system data to SQL
There's at least one open data quality issue for `process_open_sockets` on macOS[1]. It's a few years old however and, if you aren't seeing that casting error, you probably aren't hitting it. But that's a good example of the kind of debt that's been built up over time.
(In terms of general purpose/flexible tooling, I'm not aware of a close replacement for osquery.)
They did an amazing feat of engineering. Mike Arpaia's brainchild, co-created by my cofounder zwass at Fleet, and massively improved by seph (@directionless), ted reed, alessandro, sharvil, and many others: https://github.com/osquery/osquery/graphs/contributors
(used in production directly or via major EDRs by much of silicon valley, governments, and the F1000)

Alternative to Endpoint Protector?
From a self hosted standpoint OSQuery or Wazuh are your best bets for monitoring USB devices. Windows makes blocking really challenging and Iām not aware of any āfreeā solutions that attempt it.

Configure auditd to monitor host activity: https://izyknows.medium.com/linux-auditd-for-threat-detection-d06c8b941505 or osquery: https://osquery.io/ (or similar software: filebeat for example).
