Ventoy is a tool to make a USB with multiple ISOs bootable, letting you select which ISO to use on boot. Another newly-created account claims to be the dev’s friend and translator and has received no contact from the maintainer.

Down voting for 2 reasons:
if you search Chinese Police Canada (or USA) there are tons of articles that are way more in depth, and describe encounters, etc.
I added that link so people don’t think I’m making it up when my friends house is getting door knocked by two CCP police.
It does not directly relate to Ventoy, it relates to why I would not trust a chinese product as we have first hand witness here in Canada of CCP harassing residents or forcing them back to china. There is that much control, even when they don’t live in China, that if CCP wanted to have widespread spying they would just pick a dev with family in the mainland.
Your phone, computer, TV, and various other electronics in your house were not made in China? You believe that your own country or mine cannot secretly compel backdoors?
I realize that this era makes it difficult, but that is why I would be cautious in projects, like Rustdesk dev was obfuscating the chinese location, and blobs, so I have removed that. My phone runs GrapheneOS so things are sandboxed, my home electronics are either totally blocked from web access, or certain IPs restricted. And of course Canada US would try to compel, but we have more transparency here than CCP shinanigens. I’m just saying, everyone blindy installing Ventoy that has more blobs than source code, and possible mainland connection should not be
Ventoy does not have more blobs than source code. The 3 blob folders—which constitute ~1MB out of ~16MB—are properly labeled with reproducible build instructions… for now. The 4 months’ silence and impersonation without opposition are suspicious. That said, I think it’s still safe to use your existing installations.
