it only works for hiding ads, it is powerless to protect any of your privacy anymore. ublock origin is much more than an adblocker, but ubo lite is basically just google's mockery

would running nut-monitor in the VMs fit your use case?

I think a hybrid approach is better, have a screenshot and a link to the source too. with a screenshot of a post on a whatever site I don't not to figure out which privacy frontend is working right now every single time.

windows 11 is not only about irreversible breaking changes

did any of them do the write fast for 5 seconds, then freeze for 10 seconds shit? that's the worst when a pendrive does that, and I've experienced that with multiple drives

apple and google is just a small part of the problem. using a debit card is not much better either

oh, that's good to know! iirc that's the same reason it happens on windows too

oh yeah now that you say, SMB/CIFS mounted share if connection is no more. when I experienced this, it was temporary though, because there's a timeout which is half (or double?) of the configurable reconnection timeout. but now that I think of it, I'm not sure if it made it unkillable.

not sure what section you mean, but check out jadx: https://github.com/skylot/jadx

Experience in java is recommended.

killall just kills all instances of a program, not everything.

and also, long pressing the power button should just shut it down, no?

on windows a process can get in a state so that it is impossible to make it go away, even with process explorer or process hacker. mostly this also involves the bugged software becoming unusable.

I encounter such a situation from time to time. one way it could happen is if the USB controller has got in an invalid state, which one of my pendrives can semi-reliably reproduce. when that happens, any process attempting to deal with that device or its FS, even the built-in program to remove the drive letter, will stop working and hang as an unkillable process.
