I have made sure my gcc is updated. Could just be a problem when cleaning old gcc stayed instead of the new one.
Had that happen to me with the kernel.

How did you fix the gcc version to old while compiling hyprland? I have been trying to install it for the last month but couldnt cause of that error on gentoo.
To keep your system secure no matter what, you open up only the ports you absolutely need.
People will always make a mistake while configuring software, a firewall is there to make sure that error is caught. With more advanced firewall' you can even make sure only certain app's have access to the internet to make sure only what you absolutely need toconnect to the internet does.
In general it's for security, but can also be privacy related depending on how deep you want to get into it.
EDIT: It isnt about not trusting other devices on your netork,or software you run, or whether you are runni g a server. It's about general security of your system.
Have fun on the journey. It's hard but also rewarding.
No problem, happens to anybody no matter how carefull we try to be about it.
Where is the nsfw flag?
Don't know really about that. I have been using linux for about 5 years and have been hosting stuff for year and half now.
Still consider myself a newby in all of that.
Ironically I'm always in the middle.
I have come to the point of linux and server management that I could consider my self the right one but I just can't bring my self to accept that. ( use gentok as main os, hosts 20 diff services on a server )
Same, just change to Croatia and closest "city" being 8km away.
Don't read/watch news. That's the only advice I can trully gie you since news are made to purposfully make people restless.
You always need a firewall, no other answer's.
Why do you think windows and most linix distributions come packaged with one?
I honestly only know of a windows one called simplewall.
I used to use it to outright block windows telemetry, microsoft services, apps, ...
It also helped me to save a lot of bandwith in regards to windows and all the stuff that comes preinstalked with it.
I havent searched for one for linux, mostly because 90% of apps I run are cli tools that don't require internet connection, but I'm sure there is probably one that exists.
