  • I asked some friends who know a lot about this situation about this and apparently this is fake news.

    Direct quote of what they send me:

    He didn’t try to take over anything. The team behind PrivacyTools.io could not get in contact anymore with the domain owner and they haven’t seen him for a long time and had some conflicts with him before that too. So the team decided to move on to a new name, they got the domain PrivacyGuides.org and were migrating everything for weeks. Then, in the end, when everything was already migrated and redirected, the PrivacyTools.io owner came back a while later and was extremely angry that the team had moved away from his infrastructure.

    Jonah is hosting the new servers and had already been hosting stuff for PTIO before. The PTIO guy is still incredibly salty and made a new website with a long article about how Jonah is plotting to take over everything.

    This new website also contains many bad recommendations that are sponsored and he now makes money from. I would consider PTIO very untrustworthy at this point. The entire original team behind it moved on as well…









  • I use Windows 10 LTSC 21H2. It’s the most up-to-date LTSC version.

    LTSC = Long Term Servicing Channel, which is a special verson of Windows Enterprise that doesn’t receive feature updates, doesn’t come with all the extra bloat (onedrive, store, xbox game bar, candycrush, office trials, etc)… It’s meant for special support enterprise systems like MRI scanners, industrial use, etc…

    The reason that I (legally, but for the wrong usecase) use it is that I don’t want to switch to Windows 11 or be nagged about it, nor do I want all the extra bloat on top of my OS. But I do want to stay secure, and I get security updates without trouble.

    I would rather run a Linux distribution, sadly I do play a few games that are still not working on Linux, even with Proton and lots ot manual trickery. And I play them for about 40 hours a week.
