I am not sure sdwdate-gui would be a strong enough notification if networking was actually blocked if sdwdate did not succeed yet.

This was implemented. Now using python3 requests.
No longer required. Was implemented through te_pe_tb_check enhancements.

I've found why sudo asked for password, it wasn't related to security-misc script mentioned earlier. And should be fixed in newer qubes-core-agent package.

Wondering why this is happening. When root uses sudo, pam shouldn't even be involved.

After running a bunch of tcp ping tests, the conclusion is this attack
is not really effective against TCP like ICMP. The latency is much lower
for TCP pings and though it slightly decreases with cpu stress it is not
consistent. Reloading pages in TBB with cpu stress
on/off does not impact latency readings while doing so with tc
attached has massive latency foot prints - implying it will ironically make such attacks much easier in addition to degrading performance.

A few more questions:
Btw, Devuan is almost the same Debian with systemD removed from it.
Devuan even uses the same Debian binary repository with a few substitutions/replacements by its own Devuan packages just to eliminate nasty systemD.

May I know, what do you think about Whonix vs OpenBSD in terms of security for a headless server without any GUI?
I guess it shall not be any harder to port Whonix to Devuan than porting it to original Debian.
There's no manual.
