  • because Floccus doesnt sync Firefox Android.

    You sure about that? From memory It did work with floccus (though it does it in a weird way).

    Open Tabs: cant live without it.

    Yeah that’s probably the tricky part in your workflow ! Not sure if syncing your directory will keep the open tabs. Though I may be wrong here because I personally don’t use that functionality !

    Yeah maybe my instructions are ment for backups rather than keeping a workflow in sync with all your devices. Sorry for my bad reading skills !

    Dunno if a self-hosted Firefox sync does sync Open Tabs between devices, if it does It’s probably your best bet !

    Also, syncing your whole profile between Desktop/laptop and your phone won’t work that easily… They behave very differently and do not have the same directory structure/files on your phone.

    Edit: Here’s the self-hosted Mozilla Sync storage server

    https://github.com/mozilla-services/syncstorage-rs

    After skimming through the docs it seems to sync everything (bookmarks, tabs, history, extensions…)

    My mum takes care of vulnerable and very Ill hedgehogs in our garden.

    I like to think it that way: It’s a bit like we human represent an Alien abduction, when they get home to their family they talk how some Extraterrestrial being took them and made some crazy experiment on them and nobody believes it ! 😅😁


  • I do use Syncthing one way sync to a server to sync the whole Firefox directory and it does work quiet well !

    I already did a backup test and It works without data loss. However, not sure this is a great way to accomplish this task… Why? Because while in use your Browser writes a lot of data and could potentially cause sync issues, specially it’s databases.

    A better way would be to sync all your bookmarks to a WebDAV server with floccus and save your LibreWolf override.cfg

    The downside is that you need to reinstall and reconfigure your addons, haven’t found a satisfactory solution for those :/

    Edit: Maybe a better solution in your case would be to make an automated daily backup of your user directory while your browser is not in use.

    Edit2: However not sure your tabs are getting saved that way !


  • Yeah I learned that the hardway when comparing MacOS/linux USB speed…

    Took like “seconds” on Linux. I looked quite dumb asking a question and asking for help on Lemmy while shitting (again) on my Mac !

    I have somewhere in my notes a command to show interactively how the memory cache gets dumped into my USB stick.

    Kinda boggus that’s an over 20 years old known “issue”.



  • Tmux has probably some specific features Kitty won’t do as good as a native multiplexer? (sorry I’m not the right person to ask this question :s) but It has the features I’m looking for without the need to install one.

    It was quite cumbersome to configure a terminal + a multiplexer on MacOS to behave how I liked it. Kitty solved this issue while being fast, simple and a lot of customization in one single app.

    One feature that was really important, copy/past over SSH with Micro which involved quite a hacky thing with iTerm2 + Tmux.Also being able to split my windows, create tabs…

    But as I said I have only basic use cases and can’t really say If Kitty’s multiplexing features are on par with Tmux. However, during my web search I read about a lot of people far more knowledge than myself who actually switch to kitty from Tmux without regrets !




  • This really looks great, I got a question though. As I understand it, it works based on your bash_history which can be very small or autodeleted after each poweroff for privacy & security reasons.

    So it doesn’t work in that case. However, creating a file containing a list or array? Of commands could that be a possible way to implemented a similar behavior?

    I’m asking because I’m not very proficient in any programming language but have done some small bash scripts here and there and quite interested in this functionality !


  • Tell that to my back/arm pain I had for months after a Ski accident… After 4 session and one good knack I literally felt how everything got back in place.

    I felt so exhausted and somehow strange like a little bit drunk… But after a few weeks the pain went away ! Like magic !

    So yeah, science can’t prove everything but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t work or has some positive benefits ! Science has also been wrong numerous times or has been controlled by conflict of interests… What ever, choose your poison !




  • I’m not very acquainted with any programming language so maybe I’m wrong here (or I didn’t get the joke? XD) but bash didn’t change much in the past few years, I even read some scripts more than 10 years still works because the syntax stays the same (or doesn’t change a lot …)

    Compared with the switch from python 2 -> python 3 I read a lot of people pulling their hair off xD




  • The only thing I don’t install via that way is Firefox addons.

    Any specific reason why? Yesterday I installed LibreWolf and saw at the same time a few addons in the AUR.

    Do you know what’s the difference from an AUR addon or the official Firefox addon repo?

    I guess It would be for security reasons because you never know if someone has tempered with the addon.
