[695.96 --> 700.18] And I'm like, OK, this is convergence in action right here. |
[700.84 --> 702.06] I know. It works. |
[702.36 --> 704.10] It actually works. |
[704.48 --> 705.26] They've done it, Jim. |
[705.74 --> 708.04] Yeah, I'm really impressed as well. |
[708.16 --> 710.74] So let us know how you're using it, if you've picked up a Steam Deck. |
[710.82 --> 713.30] And if you're considering it, it's a thumbs up from both of us. |
[713.50 --> 714.50] I agree with Alex. |
[714.50 --> 717.62] I think one of the best things is you take it out of the box, you log in, and you've got games. |
[717.84 --> 719.46] You don't have to go spend a bunch of money. |
[719.76 --> 722.42] I just need an 18-terabyte hard drive to go in that thing now. |
[722.52 --> 726.78] Because even though I've got the 512 one, it's, you know, F1 is 100 gig. |
[727.20 --> 728.66] The Witcher is 100 gig. |
[729.08 --> 732.10] Red Dead is, you know, three or four games and it's full. |
[732.36 --> 732.96] You know what I mean? |
[733.32 --> 733.76] I do. |
[734.06 --> 735.06] I do know what you mean. |
[735.06 --> 740.88] We've been getting a lot of feedback around our topic in episode 78. |
[741.30 --> 743.42] It seems like it had a big impact on a lot of people. |
[743.52 --> 751.68] That story that Google flagged a dad and then auto-batched up his entire Google account history from the early aughts and sent it to the cops. |
[751.68 --> 754.80] That seems to have really stuck with people. |
[754.92 --> 757.30] And I think it's stuck with both you and I a lot, too. |
[757.32 --> 759.84] Because we've talked off air that you and I are still thinking about it. |
[759.84 --> 761.46] It feels like something's changed. |
[761.54 --> 763.44] A real line has been crossed by Google. |
[763.68 --> 768.04] Like the risk-reward calculation about using Google services has changed. |
[768.40 --> 769.76] And for some of us, pretty dramatically. |
[769.76 --> 773.92] Last episode I was talking to you in Chrome and this time I'm talking to you in Firefox. |
[774.42 --> 774.78] Aha. |
[775.44 --> 775.92] Interesting. |
[776.26 --> 776.48] Yeah. |
[777.02 --> 778.56] I've also switched to using Firefox. |
[779.44 --> 780.68] I just cold turkey quit. |
[781.24 --> 783.50] I exported my bookmarks and just switched over. |
[783.94 --> 787.30] I actually looked into self-hosting the Firefox Sync server. |
[788.04 --> 790.92] There's a couple of things that go into it as well. |
[791.06 --> 796.10] If you want to go into the weeds of it, you've got to self-host the authentication server as well. |
[796.44 --> 799.28] And it really starts to get pretty complicated pretty fast. |
[800.14 --> 801.80] So I didn't end up doing that for now. |
[801.88 --> 803.26] But it is something I'm going to keep an eye on. |
[803.32 --> 806.78] There's a Rust-based implementation of the Sync server that's fairly new. |
[806.96 --> 810.60] There's an older one, which is no longer supported by Mozilla. |
[811.42 --> 812.56] So there's a few options there. |
[812.56 --> 817.48] But, you know, I suppose if I think about it, what's the Sync session syncing? |
[817.62 --> 821.34] My browser history and my bookmarks, really. |
[821.98 --> 822.98] Passwords are in Bitwarden. |
[823.14 --> 824.04] They're not being synced. |
[824.58 --> 825.66] Extensions, I suppose. |
[825.92 --> 826.92] Extensions, yeah, of course. |
[826.92 --> 830.10] So I don't really know what the future holds. |
[830.24 --> 834.64] But I still have to use Chrome through work because Red Hat are a Google suite company. |
[835.08 --> 838.50] So, I mean, I guess I could use Firefox, but it's easier to use Chrome. |
[838.98 --> 841.94] Even still, Mozilla feels like a way less bigger threat. |
[842.34 --> 846.20] You know, like galactically smaller threat than Google. |
[846.20 --> 853.52] I feel like for me, what's shifted is I now see all of Google services as a bit of a minefield. |
[854.10 --> 857.40] And you could see how they can really compound to screw you really good. |
[857.76 --> 867.30] And now, like, am I going to one day find out that they are also parsing communications to try to detect things that could be harmful for children in our communications? |
[867.54 --> 868.14] Well, you know they are. |
[868.24 --> 870.02] You know that if they're not, the NSA are already. |
[870.42 --> 872.04] So it just kind of compounds. |
[872.20 --> 874.08] The risk kind of compounds the more you use Google. |
[874.24 --> 877.10] So when I get back from the road trip, I'm going to cancel Google Fi. |
[877.78 --> 879.92] I had kind of gotten it over the years. |
[880.08 --> 882.32] I have a T-Mobile SIM coming tomorrow. |
[882.58 --> 884.14] I've already canceled my Google Fi. |
[884.14 --> 885.50] Yeah, I almost did it. |
[885.56 --> 888.36] And I was like, this might be really stupid to go on a road. |
[888.60 --> 891.06] I'm right about to go on a road trip to cancel cell service. |
[891.40 --> 893.78] But when I get back, I'm done. |
[894.16 --> 895.82] You know why I did it before the trip? |
[896.04 --> 899.12] It's because I'm flying Delta and they have free Wi-Fi with T-Mobile. |
[900.02 --> 902.54] Well, okay, there you go. |
[902.62 --> 903.68] That's the incentive you needed. |
[904.14 --> 905.22] I think that's great. |
[905.66 --> 906.42] But I was thinking about it. |
[906.50 --> 908.54] You know, I'm a big proponent of Tailscale. |
[908.90 --> 914.72] I realized I actually used the Google authentication for Tailscale, which is a problem. |
[914.88 --> 915.84] So I'm going to have to fix that. |
[916.10 --> 918.52] Probably going to move to Headscale as a result of all this. |
[919.38 --> 921.98] Finally, finally do the self-hosted thing. |
[922.20 --> 923.34] You know, eat my own dog food. |
[924.06 --> 926.48] But there's so much stuff on the web that tracks you. |
[926.48 --> 930.44] When you actually start reading and looking into the privacy stuff, this might sound obvious |
[930.44 --> 934.72] to some people, but it hadn't occurred to me that every time you see that little login |
[934.72 --> 939.86] with Facebook button on a web page, whether you use it or not, they're using that to track |
[939.86 --> 940.32] where you are. |
[940.72 --> 942.12] Yeah, they're getting info, aren't they? |
[942.20 --> 942.68] It's gross. |
[943.20 --> 943.94] It is gross. |
[944.54 --> 949.72] And a lot of people use it because it takes care of the username and authentication. |
[949.96 --> 952.96] You know, that's a tricky one. |
[953.26 --> 954.20] It's a really tricky one. |
[954.20 --> 956.10] I don't really know what the solution is there. |
[956.58 --> 960.04] I really got to figure out where I draw the line with Google because I've also got the |
[960.04 --> 961.58] setup for Google apps. |
[962.54 --> 965.78] Prozac boosted in with a row of ducks along this line of thinking. |
[965.88 --> 968.16] He said, I don't know how I feel after listening to episode 78. |
[968.36 --> 971.16] I left Google a long time ago and I switched to DuckDuckGo. |
[971.78 --> 974.44] My mail is in a paid service in Norway, yada, yada, yada. |
[974.64 --> 977.66] But I guess I'm still magnifying my tinfoil hat. |
