I found a nice guide about privacy, security that I want to share.

Github: GitHub - yuuire/guide: 🔏 A Complete Guide To Privacy, Security & Anonymity
It seems to be regularly updated though I’m not sure how many people are actually contributing or is it maintained solely by the owner.
What do you guys think about it?
Nice design, isn’t it inspired by PG though ? Some logos in the threat model section look familiar.
They do link to and list Privacy Guides as a source at the bottom of that section, specifically the page that explains those icons, as well as lists PG as an inspiration in their ‘about’ section.
I only looked briefly, but to me it feels like it goes well beyond just being ‘inspired by’ Privacy Guides (at least in a few sections).
For example:

Why Privacy Matters
In today’s digital world, protecting your privacy is more important than ever. While many people think privacy is lost, it’s not true.

| In the modern age of digital data exploitation, your privacy has never been more critical, and yet many believe it is already a lost cause. It is not. Your privacy is up for grabs, and you need to care about it. Privacy is about power, and it is so important that this power ends up in the right hands. | In today’s digital world, protecting your privacy is more important than ever. While many people think privacy is lost, it’s not true. Your privacy is still valuable and needs attention. Keeping your privacy safe means keeping control and power in the right hands. |
| Privacy is ultimately about human information, and this is important because we know that human information confers power over human beings. If we care about our ability to be authentic, fulfilled, and free humans, we have to care about the rules that apply to information about us. So much of our modern society is structured around information. When you shop online, read the news, look something up, vote, seek directions, or really anything else, you are relying on information. If we live in an information society, our information matters, and therefore privacy matters. | Privacy is all about personal information. Controlling this information means having power over individuals. To live authentic and free lives, we must protect the rules that govern our information. Nowadays, people are bombarded with requests for personal information in exchange for services or access to things. However, it’s crucial to remember that giving away too much personal data can lead to various risks, such as identity theft, unauthorized surveillance, or even manipulation. |
They do have a few extra categories like VoIP providers or VPS providers. And some more recommendations like Librewolf for desktop browsers and Cock.li and Disroot for email providers.
Seems like someone started with a copy of PG (for the layout and categories) and then added their own recommendations and preferences.
Seems like they are not going to be active moving forward with their GitHub repository being archived yesterday.
As other has said it has many of the same recommendations as PG. A bigger difference is a page with privacy settings for accounts and applications.
Huh, what a shame.
