Catalina sometimes refuses to perform the necessary boot cache update for the newly installed kernel extension. As a consequence, macOS still uses the previous version of the kernel extension from the outdated cache, which then results in a version conflict with all other updated components of Little Snitch. Is this a BUG REPORT or FEATURE REQUEST? (choose one): Please provide the following details: Environment: Minikube version (use minikube version): ╰─ minikube. Little Snitch appears to maintain it's own cache of DNS entries as well, so if you've got one application that connects to some CDN's IP via it's own CNAME, many times other applications will appear to be connecting to the first application's CNAME when they attempt to connect to the same IP because LS has resolved that IP to the first CNAME.
Well, since installing it, I have to constantly block Mail from connecting to various servers that are related to spam emails I get. If I actually look at the spam messages, none of the images are loaded, and that's what I want.
Why is Mail connecting to these servers? Am I missing a setting somewhere that prevents this?

The OSCP bug is a soft fail - when an Apple device cannot connect to the network but you want to launch an app anyway. That is to say, your Apple is supposed you're not online, and allows the app to launch. You can try to turn the Wifi off and on again, and launch the app you need. This sounds silly, but it really works.
