00:00Maybe you're wondering why is it wearing that cool hat? It's because the tech overlords are listening now
00:07I can finally say Google
00:09Shmoogle
00:11What are you gonna do Google you're completely powerless now? What's that?
00:16Google owns YouTube I
00:19Would Google that but I literally can't what are they gonna do censor this video demonetize it bury it under the
00:26You're completely powerless Google you got nothing on me, and so the past couple weeks. I've completely
00:34De-googled. I don't use any of Google's so-called free
00:39Services except YouTube. I literally can't escape. It's surprisingly hot to wear a tinfoil hat
00:44I don't know if you guys know this or you never worn a tinfoil hat before
00:48Now this all started because of privacy concerns being tracked with it literally everything I do just feels kind of odd
00:54Mainly because I wanted to also regain control over my software and not to be at mercy of what the tech overlords decides to do just a one day
01:05But most importantly I don't want to pay 20 bucks a year for 100 gigabytes storage not happening
01:12I
01:13Realized since swapping to Linux my life has just been going upwards
01:16I'm practically ascending next step, but I realized there's always an open source alternative and a lot of times they're better
01:23They just don't have a billion dollar budget to market themselves
01:26So I went down the de-google rabbit hole and I want to share what I learned because by the end of this once you know what I know
01:32Bro, you're gonna want one of these cool hats as well. So let's go through the de-google-ization
01:37I want to be honest and share what I think you should absolutely change and maybe what was more hassle than worth
01:43Number one your search engine change your search engine right now
01:48You can do it now while I keep yapping just go to your browser settings find the search default browser and change it to DuckDuckGo
01:56It's a search engine that doesn't track what you do. It just works. Boom. Maybe you prefer everything you do online to be tracked and logged
02:03I don't know maybe you're in that ballpark. I think just most people are either oblivious or lazy
02:08So I'm telling you now don't be lazy
02:09Number two your browser when I told you to change your default search engine you did not just do that inside of Google Chrome did you?
02:16Say it ain't so. There are way better browsers out there. I use Firefox
02:21It's kind of B tier, but you can lock it down into S tier. A lot of people swear by Brave browser
02:26I never tried it. My point is this is super easy to change and have you ever thought why browsers are free to begin with?
02:34Why is Microsoft so... why do they want you to use their browser so goddamn badly, you know?
02:40Why do they all make it free for you? Could it be because they track everything you do online and sell or trade your data?
02:45What? What do you mean? They don't make this out of the goodness in their heart?
02:49You're telling me Google isn't just a trillion dollar charity? What?
02:54I found online that in 2023 Google paid Apple to be their default search browser in Safari. Guess how much?
03:0220 billion. Jesus Christ
03:04They definitely want you to use Google. So just don't
03:08It will take you two minutes. Go do it
03:12Number three the third thing I changed like many of you
03:16I've been using Google mail for years and years and years and apparently up until 2017
03:20That's when they stopped scanning your emails to serve you ads
03:24So now Gmail is a little less creepy, you know
03:26But if you think about it is probably the most invasive service that they run like and there are free alternatives out there like proton
03:33I haven't tried it out. I decided to send this and get my own email. I paid a small fee
03:38It was fiddly as hell
03:40But at least people won't think I'm poor and have like Google schmoogle in my ad domain
03:43Number four with me de-googling lately. I realized it's time for me to de-something else
03:50Dees... I don't want to say the joke. Anyway
03:53I started working with G Fuel six years ago
03:55G Fuel sponsor!
04:00We created the greatest flavor of all time G Fuel lingonberry
04:03Lingonberry is out and it's really really good honestly
04:07I'm so proud of this flavor
04:09Yuzu Slash
04:11Legendary moment
04:12Yuzu Slash baby
04:14Sour green pewdiepie
04:16So many great memories
04:18So many great slurps
04:20So many great memes
04:21But it's finally time to retire this guy
04:27Sayonara G Fuel son
04:31Because we're introducing a new tub
04:35And t-shirt
04:39Same energy
04:41New armor
04:42Get the collector's box
04:44You get the t-shirt and the new tub
04:46You don't want to be tub less this summer
04:48I'll tell you that much
04:49That's worse than having google in your sub domain
04:52It's available
04:53Right now
04:54Check it out
04:55Link in the description
04:56Finally
04:57Don't miss this opportunity to be part of history
05:00We got many more exciting G Fuel announcement coming up
05:03So stay tuned
05:05Number five
05:06Your phone
05:07I have a google phone
05:09God damn it
05:10Everything is google
05:12It's crazy
05:12I didn't realize just how
05:14Deep I've been swept into this ecosystem
05:17Without realizing it
05:18My god damn tv is google
05:20I thought it was a sony tv
05:21You know open up
05:22It's like google tv
05:23How did that happen?
05:25I don't know about you
05:25But I feel like I'm supposed to be enamored by the phone
05:28How amazing it is with this incredible hardware
05:30And how powerful it is
05:32But if it's so great
05:33Then why do I feel like I'm the product?
05:35Huh?
05:35I hate my phone
05:37Notifications just feel like they're there to suck me in
05:39Not to tell me anything useful
05:40All these apps and features
05:42I feel like my attention span is just getting mushed
05:46The more I use my phone
05:47I hate it
05:47It's just one big giant distraction device
05:50So I have a pixel 9
05:51And it is a good phone
05:53And I already own it
05:54So instead of switching it out to like a dumb phone or something like that
05:57That I know a lot of people do
05:58I want to install a custom os on it
06:00There was a lot of them to choose from
06:02But I opted for graphene
06:04Graphene
06:05Mainly because it felt like the biggest point of the finger to google
06:08You know
06:08It's an operating system focused on privacy and security
06:11Apparently so much so that even Edward Cullen uses it
06:14Did I get that right?
06:15I would google it but I can't
06:17But here's the thing okay
06:18For some reason
06:19I felt like I'm the crazy one
06:21Huh?
06:22HUH?
06:23What?
06:24Why do you want to google so bad huh?
06:27What do you got to hide huh?
06:28This guy got graphene on his phone
06:30What?
06:31What's up with that?
06:32I feel a little judged
06:33Okay
06:34But after using graphene
06:35I realized
06:37No
06:38This is how it should be
06:39I'm not the crazy one
06:41There's a few features on graphene that I really like
06:44And these are just to name a few
06:46Especially with security
06:48I really like how they amped it up
06:49But the fact that I close an app on graphene
06:52And it closes the app
06:56Crazy
06:57A lot of times on your phone if you think you've closed an app
07:00But in reality running in the background and still tracking whatever it is they want to
07:04Graphene
07:05Nuke that shit
07:06It's gone
07:07Such a crazy concept right?
07:09I'm the crazy one
07:11Number two
07:12I control exactly what the app has access to
07:16You can use file or storage scopes I think it's called
07:19And if I want to give an app access to a certain type of files
07:23I pick which folder
07:24Not the entire device
07:26As it should be
07:27Not some vague little pop-up going like
07:30Hey, do you want to
07:30You want to give them access to this?
07:32No
07:33Complete control
07:34Number three
07:35Whenever you install an app on graphene
07:37It asks you before installing it
07:39Hey, do you want to give this app access to your internet?
07:41Because a lot of times the answer is
07:43Heck no
07:44Not happening
07:45I realized
07:46I was trying desperately to find a keyboard that has Japanese, Swedish and English
07:51I really like the swift kind of typing, you know
07:53I just couldn't find an open source alternative and I was like
07:56What do I do?
07:57And then I realized the alternative is Microsoft or Google, okay?
08:01And I realized the keyboard that they offer is connected to the internet
08:06Why?
08:07Why?
08:08Imagine you bought a physical keyboard and it was secretly connected to the internet
08:11Sending big tech everything you typed
08:13We're not doing anything weird just trust us, bro
08:16It's so messed up
08:18On graphene I still have the option and if I want to take a Google app I can
08:22Starve it
08:23Put it in one of those
08:24I still won't like that I use a Google app but uh
08:27No, actually it's good
08:28Google is at my mercy
08:30For once feels good
08:32Another feature that I think is kind of obvious and most people would appreciate
08:35But there was a fourth hidden feature on graphene that I love
08:39That it is not a feature
08:40But for me it ended up being one
08:42Like I talked about in the beginning
08:44It feels a lot of times when I use a phone
08:46It's such a distraction
08:48There are some some apps that you probably have to use
08:51Maybe it's for work or because of friends and you want to connect
08:54Whatever you're gonna have to use certain apps that you don't really want to use
08:58So I decided to put all those apps and you can do this as well actually on a different profile
09:02The good thing about graphene is that on a different profile
09:05All these apps are contained in that profile
09:07They can't connect to anything else on my phone or run in the background or anything like that
09:11That's what's great about graphene and that's why
09:13To me it felt like a good solution with all the apps that I don't want to use
09:16But what this ended up doing was that okay now I need to use this app that I don't like to use
09:21It feels intentional going there
09:23I don't even see these apps when I use my phone on a regular basis
09:26And it may be so that my phone starts feeling like it's serving me again
09:30Like an actual useful tool that it supposed supposedly is right?
09:35So yeah, huge fan
09:36I'm so glad I swapped out
09:38It's probably the best thing I did so far
09:39But it gets better
09:41Okay
09:42I had a ride this couple weeks
09:44I tell you what
09:45Number is it six or five? I don't I lost count
09:51Anyway
09:52Password managers
09:53What do you mean password one two three isn't gonna cut it?
09:56I hate password managers
09:58Why?
09:59Because they cost 67 pounds
10:02Chose a five kilobyte sized document?
10:04I don't think so
10:05There's all videos of me just doxing myself for being cheap
10:07It's not happening
10:08I'm not paying that
10:10I almost had a heart attack when I found out
10:12I'm paying what?
10:13But you need a password manager
10:15That's just the reality of today
10:16I thought I was so smart
10:18I was like okay fine
10:19I don't need to do this
10:20I'm running Linux
10:22I downloaded a backup
10:23I made it into an html
10:25And then I encrypted it
10:26And then I had an alias
10:28So I unencrypt it when I need to use it
10:31And then quickly encrypted
10:32Is it unencrypt or decrypt?
10:35It doesn't matter
10:37Bada bing bada boom
10:37I saved myself 67 pounds
10:39If I live for I don't know 30, 40, 50 years
10:43That's like I saved myself a lot of money
10:45Multi-millionaire is a cheap ass
10:47Dot mp4
10:48That's what I should call this
10:49But then I realized
10:50I need this file on other devices
10:53I need it on my phone and my laptop
10:55And what if I go abroad?
10:57And that's when I discovered
10:59GLORIOUS SH
11:01Self-hosting
11:03I can just host this on another device
11:07I feel like ever since I did my Linux video
11:09So many comments have been like
11:10Just wait until it's discovered self-hosting
11:12It's gonna be game over
11:14And yet you were right okay
11:16I started off on a Raspberry Pi 5
11:19This thing is relatively cheap
11:21It's got ethernet
11:22It runs on low power
11:23And it's powerful for its size
11:25Can do more than enough for what I wanted to do
11:28I found an open source alternative
11:30Which is Volt Warden
11:31You can host your own password manager basically
11:34The problem was
11:35I have no clue what the heck I'm doing
11:38What is a reverse proxy?
11:40What do you mean I can't just put my IP address in my browser
11:43And be done with it?
11:44Volt Warden is so secure that it wouldn't let me connect to it
11:48Unless I set it up properly
11:50Every time I thought I did it
11:51I kept seeing the spinny circle
11:52And I saw that circle for two goddamn days
11:55But once it finally worked
11:56Magic
11:57I have done it
11:59I had saved myself 67 pounds
12:03Tears running down my eyes
12:04It was beautiful
12:05My first successful self-host
12:08My god
12:09No more subscriptions
12:11No more sinking drama
12:13Just my own secure vault
12:15It felt like I was finally breaking out of the matrix for real
12:18And the thing is once you start understanding how this works
12:22It's really not that bad
12:23If anything it became super fun because
12:25With compatibility layers like docker
12:27You can so easily just pick and choose what open source software you want to download
12:31Keep trying out different ones
12:33The world is your oyster
12:34Just pluck them from the trees
12:36And everything just works
12:38So I needed a note-taking app
12:40I found one called Yoplin
12:41That's how you say that Yoplin
12:43It had a desktop app and a phone app
12:45Which is exactly what I wanted
12:46But when I installed Yoplin
12:48This is where things got weird
12:50Do not judge me here
12:52Okay
12:52This is
12:53You can probably relate to this actually
12:55Have you ever been so lazy that you try and find another intelligent
12:58But then that leads you on a road that was 10 times more complicated
13:02Than just not being lazy
13:05The image that I was trying to install on my Pi
13:08Was not compatible
13:09It was 86 by 64
13:10This is arm-based structure
13:12It doesn't matter
13:13Not compatible
13:14I can just find another one
13:15But I thought
13:16Hey, why don't I just quickly install this on something that does run 86 by 64
13:20And I look around and I'm like
13:22Ah
13:22Oh
13:24Well, well, well, well
13:27My Steam Deck runs 86 by 64
13:31So you may be asking
13:33Felix, did you use your portable handheld gaming console to host your note-taking app?
13:39Yes, but it gets worse actually
13:41Steam runs Linux
13:43Beautiful
13:43It actually runs Arch
13:45Which is the distro I use on my desktop
13:48Match made in heaven
13:50But uh
13:50I thought to myself
13:52Well, it's filled with all this like Steam bloat
13:54I should probably uninstall Arch
13:57So I can then
13:59Install Arch
14:02I don't know what's wrong with me
14:04Don't ask
14:05And I did this of course
14:07Just so I wouldn't have to
14:11Find another image of my note-taking app
14:15But anyway
14:17It works
14:17At the end of the day
14:18That's all that matters
14:20Now I got my notes app running beautifully
14:24Number seven or eight
14:26It was time
14:27To say goodbye Google Drive
14:30Goodbye Jotaro
14:3220 bucks for 100 gig
14:34I don't think so
14:36I'm not gonna pay you to hold my data hostage forever
14:39Not happening
14:40What if I live for another 600 years?
14:42Think about how much money that's gonna be to Google
14:45No more subscriptions
14:46Redundant subscriptions
14:48Instead of Google Drive
14:49I set up file browser
14:50The thing that bothers me about
14:52All these free online storages
14:54That gives you a certain amount at least
14:56Is that first of all
14:56It's not safe
14:57Second of all
14:58I don't know what they're doing with that
15:00Thirdly
15:01I hate how it's used
15:02I don't know if you can relate to this
15:04Maybe it's just like a me problem
15:05But let's say I'm out
15:06I've gone outside
15:07I've touched grass
15:08I've taken all these photos and videos
15:10And then I sit down in front of my computer
15:12And then all of a sudden
15:13Internet goes down
15:14And I'm like
15:14What happened?
15:15And then it's like
15:16Oh yeah, my Google Drive decided to back up every single photo and video I've ever taken
15:20And it's like
15:20I don't want that
15:21I want certain images
15:23Let me pick those first
15:24And I don't want you to suck up my entire bandwidth
15:27With file browser I can throttle the speed
15:29And I can do it when I want to
15:31Which files I want to
15:33I went a little nerdy and overboard
15:35A surprise
15:36And I wrote a bunch of aliases and shell functions
15:38So that I can define
15:40Push or pull to download or upload
15:42Which device
15:43My phone, laptop, desktop, deck
15:45And which subfolder
15:46And I do all this with glorious SSH
15:49It actually solved another problem for me
15:50Which is all this sharing files between my phone and my desktop
15:54I never know how to do it
15:55Apparently I didn't know this
15:56I feel like everyone is tuning out because I'm talking about SSH again
15:59But you can run it on your phone
16:02Look
16:02I'm connected
16:04And then I thought
16:04And now I gotta do an opposite script on my phone
16:07But then I realized I can just connect to my desktop to run the script
16:10It doesn't matter
16:11Okay
16:11It's cool
16:12Just trust me
16:13It's cool
16:13Number nine
16:17AI
16:18We have to talk about AI
16:20I don't know about you but I don't like using AI
16:22It feels like I'm kneeling directly to the tech overlords
16:25And not to mention the goddamn subscription fees
16:28I feel like I'm spoon feeding the machine that has stolen all my data
16:31More of my data
16:32Here you go
16:33Nice and fat
16:33Here you go
16:34Not happening
16:35But I got curious and you know I built my own computer not long ago and I spent a lot of money on it
16:41Why don't you just see if I can run it myself?
16:43It's a beast
16:44So I set up a local language model called Mixtro
16:47Emphasis on local
16:48Which means it runs on my computer completely offline
16:51It's beautiful
16:52Now I can search whatever I want
16:55And I can ask it dumb questions like why is my left toe bigger than my right toe
16:59And no one knows about it
17:00Not Google
17:01Not AI overlords
17:03Not even you
17:06Step 10
17:08How many steps are there?
17:10And we have so much left
17:11PDFs
17:13Google Docs
17:14Calendar
17:15Contacts
17:16I was honestly getting a little tired at this point to try and find an alternative to all of these
17:20But that's when I discovered
17:22Nextcloud
17:23It's an open source self-host beast
17:25And it does all of this for you
17:27Maybe there are better singular alternatives
17:30But the fact that I can get all of this baked in one was exactly what I needed
17:34And just one quick install and it was done
17:37I was completely out of Google
17:39And it felt amazing
17:40Finally I'm free
17:41From here on on is when I needed to tighten things up a little bit
17:47I actually bought a domain
17:48I know
17:49I paid a subscription fee
17:51But it's worth it
17:52If you're self-hosting
17:53It's actually worth it
17:54Because you can get a domain for five bucks a year
17:56It means I can get better security features
17:58And I can put all these services in subdomains
18:00So like
18:01Docs.mysubdomain.com
18:03And
18:04Password.mysubdomain.com
18:05Like all these different things I made
18:07I can access easily
18:08I don't have to type my ipad address for each one
18:11And I started to tighten down the security as well
18:13Especially because I was looking online
18:15I'm like I'm getting a lot of bots that are pinging me
18:18I don't like this
18:19Everything is locked in with the password already
18:21But I added another layer of zero trust
18:23So you can't access anything
18:25Unless you have another login
18:26I locked in my ipad address with tailscale
18:29Beautiful tailscale
18:30I could make a whole video
18:32I had to fail to ban
18:33It was definitely worth spending some time locking things down
18:36And I think I found a good balance of it being secure
18:39But also not like a huge hassle every time you want to access either
18:43Now
18:44Swapping out all these google services
18:46There's one that I just can't escape
18:48And I don't mean youtube
18:50There's one that sucked the most to get rid of
18:52And that was actually google maps
18:54Because google tracks you so well
18:57It is so good at predicting traffic
18:59And since I drive a lot in tokyo
19:01I really rely on that to get on to places on time
19:04You can't be late in japan it's like a death sentence
19:07The first time I used my open source alternative
19:09I ended up 30 minutes late
19:10And that's when I realized
19:11Hey maybe big brother tracking everything isn't so so bad
19:16Maybe surveillance hasn't perks
19:18But I stuck to my de-googling
19:20And the best alternative I found was just using my car's gps
19:24It has all these japanese services built in anyway
19:28I ended up using my pi to replace my google tv and I'm running cody on that
19:32I haven't really fully set it up yet so not much to say about it
19:35And you may remember I'm doing all of this on my steam deck
19:40I added an extension so I can plug it into ethernet
19:42That way it runs on less power
19:44It runs completely headless
19:46And I can monitor all of it on my safe network system that I have
19:49But then I thought it'd be kind of cool to use the display
19:52So I can use that for monitoring
19:53I ran tmux and beat top on it and it looks so cool
19:57You know this all started because I wanted to de-google
20:00And try with that what that was like
20:01And by the end of it my steam deck looks like it's a detonator for a bomb or something like that
20:07And before you ask yes, I can still game on it all right
20:09It runs two percent of my cpu
20:11It's like this weird home lab abomination at this point, but I love it
20:15I love looking at it
20:17I got it sitting next on my desk
20:19It's just a vibe man every time I see it I'm happy
20:21Another fact that I like using my steam deck
20:23Is the fact that I can just use whatever I have around me
20:26People have these like super sick home lab setups
20:29Which are awesome, I get it
20:30But I my point with this is that if you wanted to de-google
20:34You can use whatever you have at your disposal
20:36It shouldn't cost you any extra money
20:37Like I'm not gonna pretend this steam deck is the ultimate self-host device
20:41You're probably better off using a pi
20:43But maybe you have some device laying around at home that you can run linux on
20:47Bring it back to life, you know
20:48Instead of throwing it away
20:49And I hate to be that guy, but it's better for the environment
20:52Yes, it's a lot of tinkering
20:54But you learn a lot and by the end of it, it's done
20:56Like I don't have to touch it
20:58Google's mantra is don't be evil
21:00But I still think they have a lot to do to qualify for that title
21:04I feel like on your phone you have all these settings
21:06With privacy and give permissions
21:09And all these things that they ask you
21:11But it kind of feels like one of those toys that Bjorn has
21:14That it's just like a bunch of buttons that doesn't actually do anything
21:17Unless you go all the way with privacy
21:19It doesn't mean anything
21:21Don't call it privacy
21:22And for me, it's not even necessarily about Google
21:25I think it's more about big tech in general
21:27I hate where software is going
21:29Unnecessary subscriptions
21:31Ads
21:31Locking
21:32Updates being changing the entire UI
21:35Because you're more prone
21:36Somehow to get more locked in
21:38With YouTube, you know
21:39It's been constantly changing for years and years and years
21:42Just because they figured this is the best way to suck you in
21:45If I host my own apps
21:47There's none of that
21:48So now I got my own home lab abomination
21:51And I love it
21:52I'm finally free from the tech overlords
21:55It was 100% worth it
21:58And look bro
21:59I made you one too
22:04You've earned it
22:05Here you go bro
22:13This video is sponsored by Saley
22:16I am a huge fan of Saley
22:18Because it genuinely makes traveling for us so much easier
22:20This time when we were on our way to Savannah
22:22Mindsy asked me about it
22:24And we literally set it up on the flight
22:25Because it had internet
22:26For those of you who don't know
22:27Saley is an eSIM app
22:28Which means electronic sim
22:30So if you're traveling almost anywhere in the world
22:32Over 60 countries
22:33You get access to internet through this app
22:35Mindsy just opened the app
22:37Picked the country
22:37Picked how much data she needed
22:39And of course use code PewDiePie
22:41Which gave her a 15% discount
22:43And bada bing bada boom
22:44Instant internet as soon as you land
22:46Which is what I want
22:47The first thing I want when I land is internet
22:49I genuinely hate
22:51I hate standing in line when I land
22:54Rending a wi-fi box
22:55How is that a good solution?
22:57You just have to carry another thing when you're traveling
22:59That also have to worry about being charged
23:01Or if you opt to just buy a physical sim while you're there
23:05You still have to go and actually find where to buy it
23:07Set it all up while you're there
23:09And you have to worry about losing your original sim
23:12At least I do
23:13It's kind of important
23:14I don't like removing it
23:15Saley just solves all the problems
23:17It's an amazing service
23:19And I highly recommend it
23:20You can use the QR code to download it
23:21Or use the code PewDiePie at checkout for 50% discount
23:25If you're planning a trip anywhere
23:26You can download it right away
23:28Set it up all now
23:29And don't even have to think about it
23:31You need internet when you travel
23:33So I just love that it removes that stressful element to me
23:36So thank you Saley for being an amazing sponsor
23:38And you guys are welcome
