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.
