Kernel 6.11 has added yet more security garbage:

Like who/what the fuck will ever attempt that on my personal

Just say "No." Keep your fucking security hallucinations off
of my fucking machine.
Well it looks like you can say no. It's optional, so just build a
kernel without it. Or try to talk your distro maintainer into
disabling it in their build if you don't want to do that.

I'll predict that Lester has never, ever, even once, compiled a custom
kernel for themself.
His randings sound an awful lot like a self-centered child "my way, my
way, my way, wah, wah, wah".
