Does Personal Digital Privacy Consulting sound like an insane thing? Is it already done for indivuduals?

An individual is exploring personal digital privacy consulting as a service, citing challenges with family members like parents who are resistant to switching from Windows 10 to Linux Mint despite security risks. The consultant considers using AI tools like Claude for tech support but notes the complexity of long-term maintenance.

Something I’ve been thinking about doing is dipping a toe into consulting as a service

So, yes, that’s me doing the consulting service.

Thanks for your thoughts, and yeah, the techy parts are where I’m thinking I would have to do a lot of early training and assessment to see how far I can get someone. My parents are a far edge test case for me, and my mom is old enough that she declared she’s not willing to learn another OS, and is just going to let Windows 10 EOL make her vulnerable, rather than bother with Linux Mint. My Dad only needs one browser to let him see facebook or whatever, so their habits aren’t exactly a deal breaker for shifting to Mint, but getting them over the hump of “this is fine” and knowing what to do if an update throws an error at them, is where I have to think long term.

Maybe that’s part of it, too. Personally, I find that paid Claude is amazing for tech support, but how to get that as a longer form maintenance aid might be complicated.
