You're bismuth??? 😱
A lot of websites do not know what wiki is supposed to be.
One Czech search engine has a wiki page which is actually just a list of repeatedly searched things, and it does include a lot of wild stuff.
It does sound like a good idea.
Mid-update you can end up with broken dependencies and thus not fully working system. There may also be a problem with how programs update their config files.
This is especially true with big updates which is why Arch and Manjaro recommended to update from plain TTY during the Plasma 6 upgrade. Reboot, do not login, switch to TTY, stop the graphical login manager, just then proceed with upgrade.
A bit too much to ask for from regular users. Especially since it relies on them reading update announcements before each update.
Personally, I always close most stuff during updates. I even had terminal emulator itself die during update on Linux Mint.
if you are willing to put work into yourself.
Is my guess.
Certainly better than nothing. Going to a therapist can be hard, both mentally and economically.

I am not sure I understand your comment.
Blocking outgoing traffic blocks all outgoing traffic, thus including traffic outside of VPN.
Allowing outgoing connections to the VPN server simply makes an exception in that blocking, otherwise you couldn't even connect to a VPN.
Oof, sorry. This will depend on OS and the software you use for FW configs. I am too dumb.
For example, I use UFW on Linux. So for me it's
# Deny all incoming and outgoing traffic by default
ufw default deny outgoing
ufw default deny incoming
# Allow connection to VPN server
ufw allow out to <VPN server IP address> [port] <VPN server port number> [proto] <tcp|udp>
# Allow connection via VPN interface
ufw allow out on <interface name> from any to any
# Enable UFW
ufw enable
That's just one simple way.
I've heard they monitor the torrents and try downloading from the peers as evidence of them distributing the content.
Anyway, you could set up firewall rules to only allow connections via VPN interface (and out to the VPN server, of course).
