  All browser have telemetry in them, but he probably used netcat to post that message.

  A custom-built Gentoo that uses the Awesome Window Manager for a minimal install, builds Firefox from source, and uses OpenSnitch to sniff everything. My machine is locked down hard. Oh, and I checked what depends on Go on my machine. The one kicker was libcap, which won't depend on Go if I tell it not to build captree. So I did that. I uninstalled Docker. That leaves: * `arduino-builder` (for my custom keyboard). * Hugo (for my websites). * An unnamed program. * Gitea. Besides `arduino-builder`, I have a plan to get rid of all three of those. For two, Hugo and Gitea, I had already planned to. The unnamed program is harder, but someone has already done one. Unfortunately, it's in Go, so I'm going to have to do something else myself. `arduino-builder`, though, that's tough.

      It actually is because I can utilize my machine better by having less processes running and lighter ones at that. I can run ZFS easily. I can have a minimal kernel, reducing my attack surface. I can customize installed packages, such as what I did above. Also, it taught me system administration. Totally worth the effort. As for getting rid of Go, I'm surprised that I had so few Go programs, and like I said, I was already planning on replacing two with my own stuff.
