I’m a worldbuilding consultant and fanfiction writer for the Pokémon fandom, also work with computers ‘n’ stuff. Linux user (but not Arch, btw).
I have a Mastodon btw as @VeniaSilente .
To be fair (and this is something I don’t recall being established with or dealt with in the video) you need to at least trust that the backend is there. Currently if “lol CIA AWS” servers are not working, you don’t have an option (Advanced Settings or whatever) in Signal to choose another provider, such as say a self-hosted community server.
I use SQLite to power up lots of stuff I’m working on. It’s lightweight, fast, simple and well-documented for small projects — like a Postgres but very local. Saves me from having to deal with containers “just to store data”, let alone for moving stuff to other machine where I would also need the permissions to configure and run containers in the first place; whereas all you need to pass SQLite databases along is scp / rsync.
Reason enough to <del>use something else if possible</del> read the docs.
