Is Snort useful at all on a home network level? E.g. for detecting if some insecure embedded device on the network has been hacked and is spamming all the other devices with spray-and-prays? If not, is there a lighter IDS that would be? Cur

Are you claiming that hydroelectric generation leads to loss of water somehow? Or just that the reservoirs should be drained?

Not sure how relevant that is against a nation state actor that’s willing to pull from airline passenger records. All they’d have have to do is get a few timed hits for your location and then look for a common IMEI at nearby towers.
