Finished watching, as a fella in the community like PG like Techlore should.
All I can say is, can anyone tell pewdiepie about Peertube? And then he’s complete.

Just wait till he discovers Peertube:
“Guys check this out, I have my own YouTube now! Except it’s peertube and hosted by me xD”
Edit: and searxng and stuff

He said he needs multiple languages. FUTO Keyboard with its local transformer model is great for English, not so much for other languages just yet. They’re working on it though.
He never said about voice typing, he said about glide typing, also FUTO doesn’t have japanese and English and I think swedish?
Edit: just tried, has swedish but no japanese, RIP
“Multilingual typing” and “Better support for non-Latin languages” are listed on the roadmap:
Pewdiepie’s recent tech tinkering videos have been pretty amusing. I at least found it amusing how a big message he’s trying to convey is to search out alternatives, but then spends probably days or weeks tinkering on something instead of looking for easier alternatives.
If his beef with a password manager was just the price (probably not), Bitwarden and Proton Pass are only like $10/year and have a free tier that’s sufficient for most people. There’s also KeePassXC and KeePassDX if he doesn’t trust allowing someone else to host his encrypted password database…seems a bit easier than what he did, though less entertaining LOL
It was a bit concerning at around the 20:40 mark when he says that after you’re done tinkering to make your self-hosting setup work, “it’s done and I don’t have to touch sh*t.” Whereas…yeah no…for self-hosting, you do have to keep touching it for maintenance, potential issues, and security. I’m willing to believe this isn’t what he meant, but perhaps other people may interpret it as such.
I am curious about what he moved his email to. He said that he got his own domain, but didn’t say which mail service provider he’s using while specifically saying he didn’t go with Proton.

Yeah what’s fascinating about this is Pewdewpie seems in some ways quite early on this journey and still in the tinkering stage. Normally we don’t see creators in the tinkering stage as that’s typically pursued individually, and after someone nails down good workflows then they make content about it and grow an audience that way.
This is a pretty cool thing to see…someone who has an insanely large audience and going on this journey from the beginning. Very cool insight and should hopefully document what the journey can look like from the beginning!
PS. This is part of the reason I keep saying I want to see more people in our communities make their own content, because there is something inherently valuable about people sharing their journeys no matter where they’re starting from!

Now I feel bad for not making content since I’ve tinkered and debugged a lot as a non-techie over the years. So many things are obvious to techie people and they’re surprised that a random “simple thing not worth explaining” is what causes so many people to stumble and give up.
Though part of the reason I haven’t made content is because I don’t really know how to do it in a privacy friendly way. It’s kind of a big step to go from deleting social media and hiding myself on the internet to now posting YouTube videos or writing a blog. Would you be open to making a video showing us how we can become content creators in a privacy friendly way, what goes on behind the scenes, what your workflow looks like, and the extent to which you’ve had to sacrifice your privacy to make Techlore possible?
Is it possible to have an anonymous (from Google) YouTube channel and still generate revenue, for example? I genuinely have no idea.
Great minds…! I actually tried leaving a comment recommending both (twice!), but couldn’t find the comment anymore in the next moment. My tinfoil hat says youtube is censoring mentions of peertube

well never said on YouTube, that was obvious (remember LTT’s part 2 video was taken down with a strike because of the alternatives means of watching YouTube being recommended)
maybe some kind of direct contact like email?
Yeah Even I Was Impressed With His Work Setting up The Steam Deck For Streaming Movies And Shows
That was his Raspberry Pi, Not the steam deck. And kodi doesn’t exactly do streaming but with safe add-ons is possible.

Yeah I Watched The Video And Even Left A Comment Congrating Mr Felix to Finally Degoogling His Setup For The Most Part
Was awesome to see. Surprised YouTube didn’t ban it lol
I Archived The Video On My Main Channel You Should Thank Me Later
