in the past few weeks i found myself disappointed with a lot of software i've been using daily. one of the best examples is LuLu by Objective-See. their community is a bit toxic, hard to work with. i rewrote and built my own lulu in a few hours, reverse engineered kernel, network managers my laptop uses and built the most (as it gets) low level network controller to block as much telemetry and unwanted network requests as possible. its a fun experience, and one of dozens. also i integrated jev to block / allow network requests in matter of ms if it catches any telemetry and other stuff without which i would work perfectly fine.
