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

Portmaster Application Firewall v1.4
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.

How We Made MuseScore 4 [video]
I love this kind of behind-the-scenes, in-the-weeds video, and it's well done.
Unfortunately, the incident with a Muse Group director openly blackmailing an open source developer [1] [2], threatening to have him deported to China while specifically calling out his public criticism of the CCP with a disgusting "who knows how he may be received"—well, to say that this incident leaves a bitter mark in my memory would be an understatement. I am happy to be using other free software for my engraving and playback needs, and with Tenacity just recently having published its first stable release, I'm eager to drop Audacity, too.
Truth be told, I was never a heavy MuseScore user, but I have used Audacity regularly for decades. This turn saddens me, but it matters to me how those I support use their power, and threatening someone's life over an audio program is bullying more severe than that which I can condone.

Libgen/Zlibrary equivalent for sheet music?
I recently discovered that [https://musescore.org](MuseScore) (not free) has an incredible GreaseMonkey script that easily bypasses their paywall. It has worked a bunch of times for me in the last few days: https://github.com/LibreScore/dl-librescore
- A stupid post for the sheer number of pianists who are sad that Musecore is no longer free please ignore/ re: "Musecore isn't free anymore?!?!"

Someone mentioned this one: https://github.com/LibreScore/dl-librescore
- Piano Sheet music should be 100% free online. Change my mind.
