Even though the "basic" telemetry data is quite the list [0], I agree that it's not nearly as intrusive as the "full" set. > only when you have it set to Full level "you" (probably any users) won't

According to blog posts and articles on tech sites there still is no way to disable all telemetry on windows 10. I don’t use windows for a long time now so I cannot tell myself. Anyhow, it is /not/ ok for an OS to spy on their use

The certificate is signed by a Google intermediate CA using GlobalSign as the root CA. I don't use Chrome but I find it hard to believe that Chrome now distrusts Google's own CAs. A user errors seems more likely :)

True, seems I read over the recursive part. In which case it is definitely not easy to set up. But even for a recursive DNS server that is only used by a single client aggregation for popular dains is not impossible. There are better and de

Probably they still keep logs (maybe anonymized, but who really knows). If you want a more private DNS look at OpenNIC [0]. [0] - https://www.opennic.org/

I haven’t claimed that Linux has a better kernel. Basing your claim that NT kernel is better than Linux on the employment of a single developer seems pretty pointless. Smart people work on both kernels. Not so much of a feature that is bett

I don’t see where the author mentions cross platform? Judging by the looks of the code the author is learning C. Creating something useful in a new language is a nice way to learn IMO.
