Who?
Never heard of him
That’s funny I’ve been DONE with poopoopie for a few years. Somehow people keep pushing this creep.
I’m sceptical of his steamde k hosting solution :p hope he has backup for his files too
I’m sure all the reactions will be nothing but respectful and factual, and not riddled with festering teenage emotions.
If there’s an article with words, can you pass it along? I’m not inclined to go on a Google website and listen to someone slowwwwly tell me why Google is bad.
Life’s too short to listen to people who talk slow.
Articles too much time too, so I made you this
- Google bad, tracking sucks
- Android -> graphene
- Keep -> joplin
- Docs -> nextcloud
- Gmail -> proton
- GMaps -> car GPS
- Tailscale
- Selfhosted on SteamDeck
- Gmail -> proton
I recommend Tuta over Proton. They’re much more focused on their core product (not making their own crypto wallet or VPN or storage service or password manager), plus Tuta’s leadership has never endorsed US Republicans, unlike Proton’s
Not all heros wear capes
I think he actually used something else than proton, he didn’t mention though. Except that he uses his own domain name.
I drive believe he has started hosting his own email though
GMaps -> car GPS
What? No. OSM or literally anything else than a fucking car. Stars and sextant.
Because traffic data can’t be obtained without some tracking…
Thats what Felix said, im personally a fan of OrganicMaps
Organic maps rocks
He emphasized that for him living in Japan and mainly needing to use maps in order to navigate, the japanese car GPS is the best fit.
Which obviously is very different for people in a different situation.
Tailscale -> Headscale after you get comfy.
I love this new arc of pewds, unimaginably based. I’m actually interested in watching his videos now after a looong time. The last three tech related ones were great.
That boy doing so much work for privacy and linux communities. I love it!
Imagine if some big influencers like him switched to peertube, that would be quiet a thing indeed.
I think they are the only people able to do something like that. Hosting videos is expensive as … you know. But if someone can do it, its them.
Even just mirroring.
Is there a tool already that makes it easy to upload to both? Idk, I haven’t uploaded a video since like the 10s
This is the first time I have seen someone reference the decade as the 10’s and I feel weird about it.
The 20’s last century seemed cooler.
I think there’s an option to sync PeerTube channels with YouTube channels in the backend.
I think there are tools that do that, yeah
It still baffles me why anyone likes him in the first place tbh
i get it, and don’t mind seeing him these days, but I don’t seek him out.
Same here. There were times where my eyes went up just hearing mentions of the guy, but nowadays, there are some videos I kinda enjoy watching (rare but yea)
I can kinda see it, though he’s not my cup of tea. I like my videos a bit more essay-like and a bit more serious mode.
Any influencer that relies on YouTube ad money won’t make the full jump.
Other than that, they’ll very quickly find out that keeping a video focused service running and serving 10k views daily (300k/mon) is very expensive both in storage and bandwidth.
actually for big youtubers, ad revenue from google isn’t all that huge afaik. i’m going only on the LMG breakdown they did, but they only get 26% of their revenue from adsense… that’s no tiny share of course, but i wouldn’t call it completely catastrophic to loose
The big youtubers rely on sponsorship money way more than ad money. But sponsorship money is dependent on viewership numbers, so that is the main issue
They don’t make a large share of their income from yt ads I believe. Most is from sponsorships etc
Wait for it, I bet a whole bunch of people mentioned it in the comments of this one. That will probably be the topic of his next video. Although I’m hoping for stopkillinggames.com.
How about LBRY? Do you think it’s a sane alternative to YT? I also think peertube is the true freedom, though, I was surprised how quick videos load on odysee
LBRY is cool but I’m honestly sketched out by the creators that currently exist there. It’s mostly weird libertarians and crypto bros plus random porn bots. Also between the first and most recent times I played with it they added a CDN that hosts all of the files and something like 99% of the data I downloaded while farting around on there came from that single official CDN, so very decentralized.
Peertube has actual large creators who aren’t weird conservative podcasters, and tons of different servers already which serve content, and great Mastadon integration which puts it in a much better spot for growth moving forwards than LBRY. You can literally watch peertube videos from Mastadon (Which has millions of active users including some celebrities and government officials) and comment on them from Mastadon, so there’s kinda already a userbase measured in millions depending on how you classify cross-fediverse users
mostly weird libertarians and crypto bros plus random porn bots
Maybe yeah. In fact, the only video I’ve ever watched on LBRY is from a YouTuber named Mental Outlaw
I though (not sure if I remember correctly) LBRY is basically dead after the lawsuits. The network was overtaken and is basically another corpo shait…
Can we stop with the narrative that corporations and celebrities are doing good? This guy is 110 Million people away from doing something for privacy and linux, once he makes 110 million and one person switch to linux or using a youtube alternative he will have done some work in the positive.
I mean… glass half full or half empty… You can appreciate how enthusiastic he was about it and how many people saw the video, or you can just complain… Btw. if he should do more, it will be the positive feedback he gets about it, not the negative one which is just demotivating…
Dude’s having an interesting life trajectory
This guy is a Nazi, remember?
The only people who have called this guy a nazi are terminally online far left jackoffs who get all their information from other jackoffs in the same echo chambers.
Take your brain out of the gutter
And you can take a hike
If you don’t let people make mistakes, change, and grow, you’re living a petty, sad life.
If he’s a Nazi, I’m a trans queer Nazi.
Someone on Lemmy Linux pointed out his past in detail, and I agree he was DEFINETLY going through the far right pipeline.
However, he never continued it, never delved into it farther, never pushed that crap further (the dirtiest thing was hosting I think Shapiro for meme review, which while very bad, at least didn’t keep that shit up. Do wish he’d delete the video though), and seems to have changed paths after getting into actual philosophy. He’s never been a politician who’s destroyed people’s lives or a billionaire or called for people to be harmed, either.
If we hold people like him to the same likeness of people like Musk or Shapiro etc, progressiveness will lose the cultural war to fascism. By equating any potential ally into an enemy, you only destroy your cause, and certainly only help fascists far more.
No, he isnt. Repeating false information ad nauseum doesn’t make it true.
Three R’s to deGoogling: Reduce, replace, remove.
I would say start by changing your browser and search engine (lots of options out there today), and then set up your own domain for email hosting so you can try different providers.
There isn’t another YouTube with all that content out there, so that one is tough, but you don’t have to 100% de google, 50% is still good. 15% is still good.
set up your own domain for email hosting
cannot recommend this enough!
- register your domain through something like porkbun
- get an account with someone like mxroute.com (i am a fan, but not an affiliate or anything)
- enjoy pain-free email for the rest of your life
My own domain?!? Any suggestions??
Whatever name fits your fancy. Go with solid registrars like Namecheap or cloudflare.
Once you get your domain, you can use most any email provider to handle mail for that domain. Fastmail is really good. Or proton if you want the encryption.
That’s pretty much my setup, it is not super hard to get working, it’s basically just copying and pasting the magic numbers they give you
Gotta also recommended porkbun for a registrar, had a great experience with then.
Porkbun + runbox here. Domain and email together cost less than $30 a year. You can use the domain for free with GitHub pages or cloudflare for a free website too.
I personally picked Mailfence, but I saw both runbox and mailfence are really good. Tho Mailfence is a bit more expensive
Get something on .com or .net. Vanity tlds will piss off reputation services. And make sure you set up spf/dkim
Other reason is the renew fees for special tlds are so unpredictable. Com is surprisingly cheap to renew.
Nebula is an option for some content creators but it is subscription based.
Wish more creators would move to Nebula. I joined on Grady from Practical Engineering’s recommendation. His stuff is great.
I haven’t quite figured out how to use PeerTube yet.
Despite the lack of content we should mention peertube any time possible to increase knowledge of it, if nothing else
Your own domain for email hosting is a massive pain in the ass. Have you not run into a million problems with other hosting providers refusing you for possibly spam?
Self hosting an email server is a pain in the ass and I don’t really recommend it.
Buying your own domain and using it in whatever email provider you want is very easy and gives you ownership over the email address. You may switch providers freely without needing anyone else to do anything.
I wasn’t self hosting. I was just talking about your own domain, which caused me serious problems when flagged for spam.
Edit: I’m guessing it’s easier nowadays but I still carry that pain lol
That’s not an issue with a custom domain name, but one of the other parts you run into, SPF and DKIM dns settings being correct and the reputation of whatever SMTP server’s ip address is. No one spam-bins based just on random domain names, or every business would freak out. You can also use your own domain on Google, Microsoft, or Apples ecosystems, not that you need to, there are plenty of providers that will host your email. I like runbox.
Oh shit is that what the issue was??? Thank you for explaining! I thought it was literally blacklisted like that. I told those worthless dumbfucks to whitelist my domain and that shit just kept happening—and they made me do all the work every time. It was exhausting and frustrating. I’ll look into runbox, thanks again.
I wonder if there might be some super common spam tlds like .xyz or .ru or something, but generally, yeah, custom domain isn’t the issue. Some other options are Migadu, mailbox.org, mxroute, and Tuta all seem like decent companies. A lot of others “also do” email hosting, like porkbun and OVH. Plenty of companies host their email with all these companies and have mostly clear sailing without being spam binned.
No, not I don’t self host my email which is where a lot of the trouble comes from
I don’t remember having any issues with it ever. That was a concern so I did slowly transition to the custom domain
Didn’t try to host a domain myself yet, but having it set up with Proton has given me zero problems thus far.
Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.
Pobodies nerfect…
Your own domain, but you’re safer not hosting your own email servers in general. Just wanted to be clear for anyone reading this. If your mail server is down you don’t get mail 🫠
I ended up using a service that isn’t Google for that with my own domain
And soft lock yourself… log in to the DNS portal you need 2FA from your email… while your email is having DNS issues lol
No, stop, come back…
enough with PewDiePie posts!
Just block his name, I have trump and Elon and varations of their names black listed so posts with them don’t show up on my feed.
i have filters with elon musk, zuckerberg &c pewdeewhatever posts appeared in the last couple of days :/
shrug
I’ve seen one so far
[email protected] + [email protected] + [email protected] + [email protected]
i had 4 in a row
Oh no, 4 different posts that were posted on 4 different communities on 4 different instancess, all of which are about the topic he’s talking about in the video… The horror
i didn’t subscribe to these communities to be notified about a youtuber’s latest clickbait!
This isn’t a random youtuber and his video isn’t clickbait. You not understanding why people are talking about him posting this video is not the same as these discussions being pointless or spam.

for your generation maybe?
You’re right, i can’t understand how someone can make a name by streaming himself playing games and then become a reliable source for browser comparisons or linux. I can’t understand why anybody would like to watch someone else playing a “video game” either, but there is a whole generation that grew up with that. I have streamer neighbors. It’s not only that i can’t understand, but i think of these activities as pathetic.
let’s end this useless conversation here. You can keep talking about him all your life, i prefer to filter him.
There was an interesting podcast about mr.Beast on the Guardian this week. I was never interested in his videos either, I remember reading his Wikipedia page some years ago to understand what he’s about. For me, they’re both negligible symptoms of something going really wrong. Their analysis may be interesting, they on the other hand are not.
“I’m incapable of understanding the nuance of someone with a lot of influence speaking out in favor of a topic I advocate for because I’m ignorant and judgemental towards certain activities and people who make a living off of them”
Yeah okay, bud. Good mentality you got there. But you’re right, this conversation is pointless, so let’s end it here.
Did he back away from right wing stupidity?
Who?
TLDR?
