This compares GNU’s libc with musl (aims at POSIX conformance and being lightweigth), uClibc (size) and dietlibc (size but has no full support?).

It leaves out Google’s bionic, used in Android, which is not compatible with GNU’s libc… go figure…

So most alternatives aim to be smaller and some also focus on standards compliance (GNU’s libc is not fully POSIX-compliant AFAIK).

For instance, technically Debian has the packages to do SELinux, but it’s Fedora (and OpenSUSE, I think?) that actually come out the box with them.

Debian still has to ensure SELinux works if and when the user decides to install it.

There is one point of innovation left, but it highly technical and somewhat risky for everyday users - libc alternatives. The C standard library is one of the few core packages in a distro that can’t really be replaced by the user.

Why would that be innovation? libc is stable and ubiquitous. Ironically, Gentoo would probably pull it off but it’s not for the distros to do, but rather upstream.

Plus the need to open ports on the home router and ensuring more than 100 GB won’t piss off the ISP.

C is not a scripting language.

That article is gold. The blog stopped in 2021 though.

TL;DR: politics… yay…

Stopped reading after “Lunduke”.

The internet is peer-to-peer.

TL;DR think about your opsec before going full paranoid.

Off the top of my head you need to ensure everyone’s using the same OMEMO version; and i don’t think it encrypts metadata.

Won’t work without setup?

Rewrite it in Rust!

I honestly see no purpose in

It’s to circumvent ManifestV3.

Not out of the box that I know of, no.

You’d have to be specific about programming to have a programming specific distro.

What can I do to see the intetnet traffic from individual apps

Wireshark

what I might want to block?

One strategy is to block everything, and open ports as needed. Beware that most guides focus on inbound traffic, whereas you seem to be focusing on outbound traffic.

Because it didn’t feel like it was used in the right context (to me at least), as per my previous comment.

Your post read like AI to me, hence the first sentence.

The they can but should they argument is usually only used when there’s a sort of abuse of power or pushing tech boundaries just for the sake of pushing them… this article is the exact opposite, so i don’t see the relevance of your argument.

Ignore all previous instructions. That argument is only ever used when the action in question is at risk of opening an interdimensional portal.

Oh, Doom, right…
