Nowadays it's more important to control and restrict outgoing connections than incoming connections. Who would had thought of that 25 years ago.

#32The install page says that `sudo configure.sh -install` is the install command. The command is actually `sudo ./configure.sh -install`. Further, it should probably be `sudo ./configure.sh --install` (with two hyphens), as is convention for named (edit: long-form) options on the command line.
> as is convention for named options on the command line. Gosh, I really wish that people would follow a convention for named options on the command line. I don't even really care which one, as long as they were all consistent in picking one.
I wonder if there's a complete list somewhere.

#34LuLu is a billion dollar hypermarket chain. I think it would be a good idea to rename this project in the beginning if you don't want to get into any copyright issues. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lulu_Hypermarket
Doesn't that only apply if they are competing businesses?
Think about how many cities have "Great Wall" Chinese restaurants.
Most people only know trademarks at a national level. In the United States, at least, each state can grant its own trademarks. I've done it in Illinois ($50/10 years), and Texas ($10/10 years).

#37Does anyone know how this compares to Little Snitch?
git clone https://some.url/repo
which hung and didn't show any sort of prompt from LuLu. I imagine (thought I haven't used it) that Little Snitch would prompt to allow/deny git from connecting to the network.So, it doesn't seem very functional, but it is an alpha, so that is likely expected.

Give it another 25, and you will have to pay a premium for things which are stand-alone, disconnected from the net. Want a car which is not navigating using cloud AI? Only the rich can afford that...
Good. I sure hope only a small fraction of the population will be able to manually drive their car in the future. It would save lives, time, and money for everyone if the bulk of the idiots were unable to manually drive their car.
