DCTP Daily - Going All In on Self-Hosted Chat

After SEVERAL weeks of being on a hiatus (finally wrapped the
Miami Vice podcast!) I'm back with more hot takes and permanently
back for these daily podcasts. To kick things off this week I
spent some time over the weekend really thinking about Brian
Acton's advice to delete Facebook and really look at my reliance
on their apps. Naturally, this lead me to review my usage of
WhatsApp and how to diversify myself away from the FAANG
services. 





Over the weekend I took some time to set up a XMPP/Jabber server
with great success! This was a fun way to experiment and I think
I'm going to stick with the self-hosted chat, that was incredibly
easy to set up.

Miami Vice Podcast  


Back in 1984, Miami Vice changed the TV landscape not only for
the  decade, but for generations of police drama’s since.
Miami Vice’s  cultural impact on TV was not only with police
drama’s, but bringing in  the best of popular music with
each and every episode. Go With the Heat  is a serial
podcast going an episode at a time and digging into the
 cultural phenomenon that is Miami Vice from the perspective
of hosts who  have never seen an episode prior to starting
this podcast.
