+               <description>&lt;p&gt;While reading a
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://sneak.berlin/20230115/macos-scans-your-local-files-now/&quot;&gt;blog
+post claiming MacOS X recently started scanning local files and
+reporting information about them to Apple&lt;/a&gt;, even on a machine where
+all such callback features had been disabled, I came across a
+description of the Little Snitch application for MacOS X.  It seemed
+like a very nice tool to have in the tool box, and I decided to see if
+something similar was available for Linux.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;It did not took long to find
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/evilsocket/opensnitch&quot;&gt;the OpenSnitch
+package&lt;/a&gt;, which has been in development since 2017, and now is in
+version 1.5.0.  It has had a
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://bugs.debian.org/909567&quot;&gt;request for Debian
+packaging&lt;/a&gt; since 2018, but no-one completed the job so far.  Just
+for fun, I decided to see if I could help, and I was very happy to
+discover that
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/evilsocket/opensnitch/issues/304&quot;&gt;upstream
+want a Debian package too&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;After struggling a bit with getting the program to run, figuring
+out building Go programs (and a little failed detour to look at eBPF
+builds too - help needed), I am very happy to report that I am
+sponsoring upstream to maintain the package in Debian, and it has
+since this morning been waiting in NEW for the ftpmasters to have a
+look.  Perhaps it can get into the archive in time for the Bookworm
+release?&lt;/p&gt;
+ 
+&lt;p&gt;As usual, if you use Bitcoin and want to show your support of my
+activities, please send Bitcoin donations to my address
