I find that you’re making a lot of assumptions on my friendships based on my 4 lines comment.

I do chat with my friends via SMS or phone cause I indeed have their number. But you can’t deny that SMS for group chats is pretty gruesome.

Based on that, everybody is used to those popular chat apps and have their other group chats on them. Why would I make them change when they work for what’s intended? Privacy is the best argument, but they may not all care enough to not find it bothering. So I don’t bother ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I’m on the same page. I would prefer not having those apps installed or even an account, but my friends are more worth to me than my IT ideals.

It’s also only electricity. We use a lot of energy from other sources too.

Fair enough, I may have confused selfhosted with homelabs in my answers.

I guess we can say we’re not in the selfhosted circles anymore haha

I’ve already seen that in Mali…

I totally understand the appeal. But I don’t usually see people explaining the drawbacks and alternatives. Only a plain and simple “just use CF tunnel” for instance.

Tbh I don’t think as a DNS provider they are too bad, it’s pretty simple and one or another will do the job. I was more thinking about the techs talked in the article, or features such as tunnels and all.

I hate it when in selfhosted circles they recommend CF. Why in hell would you want to be tied to them when you are wary enough to selfhost ¯_(ツ)_/¯
