Description

Hi!

Since there is no option to opt-out of certain keybase features that modify my system (e.g. the kbfs) I uninstalled keybase (using brew cask zap keybase). However, LittleSnitch still reports that there are keybase processes that phone home...

Can you please list all locations that are touched by keybase, so I can manually check them and delete files that are still lurking around?

I already checked all paths mentioned here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13604487

Thanks
