I'm confused by this comment, (and the up votes) OpenSnitch is the fully open source application. It even says so in the article.
"If I ever needed to track down which specific application is making suspicious outbound connections, I would turn to OpenSnitch, the fully open-source, community-driven application firewall for Linux. It is not as polished as the new Little Snitch port, but every line of its code is open for inspection and it does not ask for blind trust."
Gotta keep that stock market moving.
The as-seen-on-tv products sometimes have good ideas but the execution is awful. Cheap materials or bad engineering/quality control, etc...
Almost like he doesn't work for the American people, eh?
It depends on what kind of devices you're using.
It's my understanding that SIM cards in phones are just to tie an account and identity to your phone, for purposes of enforcing people to be paying customers for the phone/data services, and tracking your usage based on what level service you're paying for and what you should receive (5GB of data monthly, unlimited texts, etc)
But if your phone doesn't have a SIM card in it, its still connecting to cell towers for purposes of emergency dialing, and the phone itself can continue to be tracked by cell carriers based on what physical cell towers its connecting to, as you travel around. The cell phone modem itself can control and connect to networks independently of what the OS running on the phone tell it to do, its a self contained black box.
If you have something like a desktop or laptop, both Intel and AMD have "management engines" embedded in the CPU's themselves that can take control of the device for purposes of shutting down, wiping, etc a company machine that has sensitive information or access on it, and has been reported stolen, not returned by an ex employee, etc. These management engines have direct access to the network stack and can phone home whenever a network connections is present, either from a WiFi network, physical Ethernet cable, or 4G/5G WWAN card.

If you have a device that is basically air gapped, no WiFi, no cellphone chip, no bluetooth, etc, than it's still possible to exfiltrate information off the device, but the software running on the device would have to be programming to be searching for methods to do that. Your average device, unless it's running malicious software, probably won't be doing that.
The security conference DEFCON and other technical conferences are held every year at Vegas, I wonder if someone from DEFCON put it there, lol
I had messed around with Linux and failed for a while, as I was using dialup and was trying to get win modem drivers working under linux. Fast forward a few years later and I finally switched when i finally had broadband, and the concept a virtual machine was really becoming industry standard in late 2000's, and I wanted to start experimenting with them, I hated trying to hunt down windows licenses for each VM I wanted to run, and I started messing around with Linux in VM's as they were free. Thank Tux, I finally started running Ubuntu on my bare metal machines around Ubuntu 7.04 I think, my WiFi drivers "just worked" and it was magical.
I looked up the song and.. Was not what I was expecting, lol. Reading them myself I assumed the band would rap the lyrics, in a rage against the machine style.
Is calling voLTE audio working yet? I have the OP6T and have postmarketos edge installed but last time I updated it a few weeks ago voLTE still wasn't working with audio in the calls. My last hold out to start using it as a daily driver.
I hadn't heard of waypipe so I decided to give this a try, been meaning to reply to this after I got it working, but I didn't have as much time to test as I thought. I installed waypipe on 2 of my existing ubuntu machines and tested running Mozilla PPA version of firefox (so, not the snap version), watching stuff from YouTube and my jellyfin server, and it wasn't fully smooth, it was a little slow and choppy. I also didn't have audio, just video. Maybe you can get it working if you tune it for either hardware acceleration or compression, but I haven't had much time to test that.
My thoughts would be, if thats a path you wanna go down and you don't have the machines set up yet, run a ubuntu Live install on both machines from usb sticks,
sudo apt-get install waypipe
On each machine, make sure sshd is running on the "server" ubuntu machine, and test it out and see if it works for your use cases.
From the client machine, I had just run
waypipe ssh user@server program-name
They're still gettin' honey though, while the rest of us get stung. Him and his friends gets to buy the dip, or sell the top every time he decides to open his god damn mouth.
He forgot to blame Biden and the democrats.
