This is not a kernel panic and associated reboot. It simply crashes the SpringBoard, which is kinda like the "desktop environment" of iOS. It's responsible for the homescreen, and calls other processes like the window server. It's a normal userspace process, not related to the kernel at all.

Edit: Sorry I actually meant to link to this wiki page https://www.theiphonewiki.com/wiki//System/Library/CoreServices/SpringBoard.app

That's so cool, how have I never discovered that after so many years of using Linux?...

Just don't download any software and you'll be fine. Sure, there are better trackers for movies, TV shows and music nowadays, but I'm still glad we have The Pirate Bay

Ok then use a firewall like https://github.com/henrypp/simplewall (I assume that this was on Windows) to block these apps' internet access. There are other good options like the Safing Portmaster (which also works on Linux), OpenSnitch (Linux) and LuLu or Little Snitch on macOS. There are many more options for Linux, iptables, nftables, firewalld, or ufw with a GUI like gufw.

they also add personal information to any file you generate with the softwares

In that case, I'm using a VM where there is absolutely no information about me

The Darknet Diaries podcast made a really good episode about The Pirate Bay, telling the entire story, including funny stories like the responses to these letters, and interviewing Peter Sunde, one of the 3 founders. https://darknetdiaries.com/episode/92/

How did they detect it? Did these people install the pirated software on devices owned and managed by the college, or did they use their personal devices and only connect to the network? Anyway, they definitely should have used a VPN.

YouTube takes 30% from channel memberships, whereas Odysee takes 5%

Fuck these greedy bastards at Google

Shouldn't it technically be possible to set this up with bitmagnet? Does anyone have experience with that?

I recommend using i2pd, a more performant and stable version, rewritten in C++, instead of the normal I2P client, which is written in Java and can sometimes have performance issues.
