    Brilliant, haven’t been using analytics for the last year due to privacy… this is definitely something we’ll be looking into.

    Video idea: plausible vs fathom?

    It would be a good episode, for sure. My summary after taking a 1h look at both is: Level 1: Plausible SaaS (still show as tracker, because it is not CNAME based); Level 2: Fathom, completely private (uses CNAME); Level 3: Plausible self hosted (won't show as tracker, like Fathom, but also sovereign, as all data and infra is owned by yourself). But honestly, less than 1% of companies will want to self host, so looks like Fathom is the winner here.

    I just installed Umami analytics on a free Railway tier, it also doesn't use cookies and I own the data. I set the Railway region to EU area so the data stays close. I'm not sure if this is enough to satisfy GDPR since it's on an external service which is probably is hosted by AWS in the end.

    Great Video. But to be really GDPR Compliant it’s not enough to don’t use cookies at all. You’re also not allowed to make a connection to a third parity server without the consent of the Visitor. This applies to conntions which are necessary, and I don’t know if tracking is necessary in the view of the GDPR. Also you’re not allowed to make connections to third parity which are located in unsafe countries like the US for example, because Phantom is based in Canada I don’t know how safe Canada is considered. For all who want to be on the safe side, selfhosting it in the country where your website is located might be a good idea.

    I am building a paid membership website (Webflow) that requires a login. But privacy is important to me for my users. Can Fathom + paid membership site work together?

    It is so insane that people in the “Land Of The Free” that people have to be either tech savvy or have $ to have someone to “fix $protect” their channels, blogs etc. Orwells 1984 is here!😠

    Hey maybe you could do a video on microsoft authenticator, google auth- etc? For example I saw you prefer 1 password, why dont you go for the established microsoft brand?

    Sun, you need to get off of Apple. Move to linux as you’re primary driver. It makes sense

    Hey, have been thinking about it for a while (and wish I could), but Linux actually doesn’t work for many of my use cases. That said, I have switched to GrapheneOS for mobile and use a ThinkPad X1 Yoga on Tails and other Linux OSes for a lot of my work. That said, can’t beat Apple/Mac for video production.

    Honestly, well configured macbook with latest macOS and LittleSnitch gets 98% of the privacy with 20 fold convenience and lots of professional use cases that won't work on Linux. Linux desktop is really for hardcore engineers with some spare time to thinker with the OS ocasionally to solve issues that are non existent on macOS. The only very good linux distro out there is google's internal distro (aka gLinux) which is not available for non-employees (Google basically added 3 levels of automated testing on top of Debian Test branch, and only release updates that pass all the tests).
