On windows, a software firewall can help (ie outbound connections that do not match a rule are blocked), and I'm a fan of The further you stray from a linux minimal install, the harder it is to get the overall ecosystem to stop fidgeting. They certainly tore a couple dozen pages from Apple's playbook :/ ![]() They've sure gone to great lengths to make that otherwise pleasant browser quite fucking impossible to configure, and their help files are a steaming pile of shit too. Might have to drop Epiphany browser because I can't seem to disable prefetching, for example. ![]() One of the low hanging fruits is watching pihole for unprompted DNS requests, tracking the source down, and eliminating it. One of my current larks is an openbox desktop within a Devuan (systemd-free Debian fork) minimal install, and trying to get it to do only what I tell it to. Hey software, leave that hardware alone! Quit your fussing, just sit there and relax! I can't decide whether it is amazing or disgusting.Īs an aside, I rather enjoy the rather pointless task of making my computer hardware "quiet". Just reading the list gives an idea about how a "cloud based software" works. Mods said "block everything", so here it is for anyone interested
