It’s not that difficult to build your own kernel based on the official debian one: https://kernel-team.pages.debian.net/kernel-handbook/ch-common-tasks.html#s-common-official

Before clicking the link I thought there was a new restic clone/fork out there…

Did the same in python. Ages ago. And again in python half a decade ago. And again in python a few months ago.

Never repeat anything.

Yes you could, but (and it’s a big but): performance will be bad, performance for all other TOR users will be impeded, you won’t be able to open an incoming port, it’ll be a bad experience for everyone.

Additionally it’s quite easy to leak identifiable info in such a setup.

Yes it has. But it’s still working fine for me.

There are some forks that might be better, but since I don’t experience too much issues I never looked for alternatives.
