Besides animal fats: You could add more avocado, coconut oil (or MCT oil which is coconut oil with certain more inflammatory components filtered out, drizzled on food), ghee (before meals), also include various legumes/grains like more white rice, millets, beans etc. There could be many reasons why you're tired and it may not be entirely due to carbs. Eg if you have been up late, are stressed or on the computer for long hours.. Personally I would find a good holistic health practitioner who can do a complete diagnosis and give you guidance that is tailored to you. I am a big fan of Ayurveda that will find your dosha (your specific constitution and imbalance) so the guidance you get is specifically for your needs. Good luck!

Thank you for the clarification, glad to know the project is in good hands

This is fantastic, TDLR: the cofounder of Wikipedia mentions how alternative health and politics is evidently tampered with on Wikipedia and his new project to try and combat that by aggregating >30 encyclopedias here https://encycloreader.org and https://encyclosearch.org you can add this as a custom search in your firefox flavoured browser eg Librewolf by right clicking in the encycloreader search box and selecting add keyword search, then add eg. 'e' as the keyword and whenever you type 'e ' followed by a search term in your address bar you could search all 30+ encyclopedias without going through Google that downranks the more independent ones.

There has definitely been at least an attempt to hijack it. The history is pretty complex, and personally I believe the original founder (Daniel Micay) is eccentric but was indeed the target of a takeover attempt, firstly by parties at CopperheadOS and then later from all sides including the YT channel Techlore. He still seems to be writing code for the project (his Github is full of commits for GrapheneOS) despite the website history page badmouthing him and saying he left. The name change is suspect, it wasn't originally called Graphene, which is the main component of nano technology that is part of the 'medicines' with an aim to transhumanism (and control/monitoring of all humans in the interim), see Dr Ana Mihalcea, Karen Kingston (ex Pfizer bio-analyst), and the many other doctors that have researched this. However, it still seems feasible that the core developer team is fighting for privacy and hasn't been corrupted, may be worth reaching out to Daniel Micay to see whether this is the case?

For me, there's more likelihood I'd mess up an iptables configuration and leave a glaring hole for things leak through. With portmaster I have most apps on prompt by default so I get to evaluate things & add more rules on a per-app per-connection basis that I could never handle with iptables.

Upgrades are non-trivial as they'd have to be familiar with command-line and most would be perplexed by the many options.. I believe Gardua (built on arch) has a graphical upgrade manager though. op mentions Manjaro which is an arch distro. I use arch, it is meant for those who are willing to upgrade regularly and can handle when it fails.
Personally for n00bs I would go for Mint OS, Zorin or Elementary OS which all have graphical update/upgrade options and are very familiar to those who come from Wind0ze.

Realised I'm posting in fossdroid and listed a lot of desktop apps above 😅, Zettel notes is really great and the developer is responsive on Telegram to bug/feature requests.

I like Obsidian, here's a post showcasing what it is capable of https://mathisgauthey.github.io/my-complete-obsidian-workflow-to-manage-my-life/ - sadly its not open source; have it in Flatseal to restrict files & system access and use portmaster to restrict net traffic of plugins. Logseq is also very good and is open source, but would still restrict in the same way. Zettlr is the best simple & functional open source note taker. If you're an Emacs lover then org-roam works but requires a lot of tinkering (as with everything else in Emacs!). On mobile Zettel notes will read these same markdown notes and you can sync them with a git repo, or use Nextcloud (eg self hosted on Ubuntu with Cloudron).

I'd highly doubt there could be an actual vulnerability for a firewall like this. It looks like the ufw & docker issue was due to docker not respecting ufw rules, requiring iptables to be disabled before it would follow ufw rules. Its not a vulnerability per-se but more of a configuration issue. https://www.techrepublic.com/article/how-to-fix-the-docker-and-ufw-security-flaw/ My own experience (when I last tried using it 10 years ago) was that iptables has a huge number of flags and positional arguments to memorize, and then time testing every change made to see whether it had worked. I was admittedly using it to make my server act as a firewall and pass through internet traffic to the rest of my lan on a different interface, something portmaster can't do. Glad you feel comfortable with it. FWIW portmaster does have several other neat features like custom DNS, monitoring, filter lists (eg Ads/malware) and the paid version can do inspection on individual applications.

Portmaster uses iptables and nfqueue to inspect and control network traffic. The nfqueue allows packets to be handed over to user space and return a verdict and set a mark on that connection. https://docs.safing.io/portmaster/architecture/os-integration#linux
It is *far* easier to use to and could be seen as a kind of GUI for iptables, but with detailed granularity unlike ufw https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/iptables#Graphical
I only use it on my local machine, not servers. It helps when I'm running a random electron app (eg Obsidian with Flatseal to isolate the file system) I get to see connection attempts and authorize/block them on an individual basis, it would be very menial to write those rules in iptables.
The Portmaster Core Service cannot do all this magic by itself. It works closely together with the Operating System’s Core - the Kernel. https://docs.safing.io/portmaster/architecture/overview
They plan a kernel module in future but so far I've not had any use case that would require that. The free version is more feature rich than the paid for product 'Little Snitch' on OSX, and they promise to retain that free tier.

For more control, Postmaster is excellent, free tier has everything I need. Also heard good things about Opensnitch.

Cloudron manages this for me

Am guessing downside is you have to manage upgrades & maintenance etc and pay for electricity. I like Ubuntu + Cloudron to manage updates of the software but you still ought to have basic sysadmin experience and ensure system upgrades are done regularly, you'd also have to configure backups. Does Synology do updates/bakcups & security etc for you?

I also love NewPipem, works great with many subscriptions & downloading. I use Invidious on web (desktop) and have a privacy redirect plugin on Firefox to redirect YT urls to a working invidious instance.
