  • I had this same question since seeing the post about the Fossify phone app. For phone, calendar, contacts, things like those, i dont see what value the official google apps have (other than syncing to your account, but i can manage that myself). For Messages from Google, tho, there is something they provide in the RCS, if only because they block others from implementing.

    So, using Fossify Message, for example, sacrifices something of some actual value here...



  • I selfhost it and like it. Probably one of the easier things to self host (at least was the first or second thing i did).

    I just want everything running on the comp in the basement cause i think it is neat, mostly.

    It is working well for me. I did have an issue with 2FA where the clock on the server somehow got off over daylight savings switch and then my phone authenticator wasnt working. That wasnt really bitwarden/vaultwarden related, just general selfhosting fun.

    Were we supposed to look at the first and think "blackface!? That's bad!" But when we look at the second we say "oh, it isnt blackface at all, this is a not-racist and not-fucked thing"?




  • I disagree with his right-wing libertarianism, as many have said. I found him when i was getting into tech privacy stuff and watched it, then youtube started giving me more of the harder weirdos who were a little more fashy. I dont think Mental Outlaw is a facist, dont get me wrong - but the youtube algorithm may send you that direction.

    I think his older stuff was better and just had more content in each video. More recent videos (last 6-12 months?) it seems like he's got two news articles he reads but then he just goes on big tangents to fill space.
